This is the kick off Novice rally for the FLR-SCCA Winter Road Rally Series. It's a novice rally, training rally, and a tune up rally all in one prior to the start of the 2026 Winter Series in January 2026. Come learn to do time-speed-distance (TSD) rallies! This is a traditional TSD rally. Route instructions will be straightforward (no tricks or riddles). Check out the Novice Guide and the General Instructions on the website (www.flr-scca.com/road-rally) for additional information. A novice training session will be provided.
