Detroit Region SCCA
presents the

Pavement Ends Road Rally
a Divisional Tour Road Rally

Saturday October 26, 2024
Roscommon, MI

TSD Tour Rally by Detroit SCCA

This year’s “Pavement Ends” Rally features over 175 miles of roads in the heart of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula to celebrate the “color season”. We’ll leave the tarmac and enter a world of “Up North” scenery. Keep your driving neat as you enjoy the views!

All roads chosen will be traversable at rally speeds in an average family car. The route features a mix of groomed, unpaved, and seasonal roads. Weather varies; you can expect dust, mud, and/or snow. Please prepare accordingly. Course following will be straightforward with frequent mileage instructions. A combination of speed changes, transits, and pauses will challenge teams to arrive “on time” at GPS controls.

Online pre-registration is required! https://www.motorsportreg.com/

Registration ends: Wednesday, 23 October 2023 11:59 PM EST

NOTE: This rally will use the Richta app for timing and scoring. If you have not used this technology in a rally before then you must take a few moments to visit the Richta app information page at http://drscca.org/rally/using-the-richta-competitor-app/ to learn how the app works and how to use it.

Novices welcome and encouraged
Points toward Detroit Region, Great Lakes Division, and SCCA National Road Rally Championships

Once you register, you'll receive information on how to download a custom app to your smartphone. You'll keep this app open while you run the rally and it will use the GPS signal from your device to record your arrival time at each checkpoint. Once you pass a checkpoint, the app will automatically calculate your score for that checkpoint and display it to you! No more waiting for the end of the rally to see how you did. You'll see your score on each checkpoint as you go along.

Contestants will be asked to enter in one of these four Classes, as determined by the distance measurement and calculating devices that will be used.

Competition Classes:

E - Equipment unrestricted.
G - GPS-derived odometer integrated with any calculating device such as a rally “app” or rally computer.
