The next event is next Saturday, June 19th!
This is a series of four navigational rallies aimed at beginner level competitors. The events are about 100 km long and take about two hours.
For 2010 the events are on the following dates:
Saturday May 8, With the Blossom Rally, running out of the Mohawk Inn, Campbellville.
Saturday June 19, running out of Woodstock
Sunday July 18, our annual BBQ, Starting in Kitchener and finishing at Pinehurst Conservation Area.
Saturday August 21, running out of Kitchener
Entry fees are $20.00 per car. Instructions are simple, average speeds are well below the posted limits and most of the roads are paved.
Navigational rallying involves following the assigned route at the average speeds given and arriving at checkpoints along the way at the correct time. The locations of the checkpoints are not given in the instructions.
When you arrive at a checkpoint your time is taken as you pass the control board. You then pull off the road and go back on foot to the control and get you sticker with the arrival and leaving times. The time early or late from the calculated ideal time is your penalty. Once you have got your time into a control your penalty is set; you can't erase that penalty by driving faster or slower on the way to the next checkpoint.
In general we are using the standard rules for rallying in Ontario, but as these are short rallies we have a adjusted the length odometer check and made some other allowances. Typically at team consists of two people but we will allow more people in the car for these events. All who participate will be required to sign a waiver.
If you want to know more about rally instructions and timing, the Peterborough Motor Sports Club has this handbook online. It covers more than you need for our SNATR's but it's a good read anyway. A brief overview of navigational rallying, written by Peter Gulliver of PMSC, is posted and should be read by any first time competitor.
