Special Information
This road rally is a joint effort between the Indianapolis Region of the SCCA and the Champaign County Sports Car Club. To compete for CCSCC awards and points participants must run the rally in the SCCA Tour (RT) category. The rally is a bit over 100 miles long and is approximately 35% unpaved. Novices and veterans alike should be able to do well as Car 0 time is given to the second at every route instruction. Please study the applicable sections of the rally’s General Instructions thoroughly before coming if you can. Come on out and see where some of the Indiana back roads go. Even if you don’t run the rally you are still welcome to come to the Beef House to have dinner with the participants and listen to their tall tails about all the adversities (and possibly some mistakes) they overcame to complete the event.

Registration Info
The entry fee will be $20.00 per team. So that the rallymaster will know about how many cars to expect you are encouraged to preregister on CCSCC’s Online Registration System and/or to post your intention to come on the CICEnet.net thread for the rally. Please try to arrive close to the time registration opens. This will give you time to do the paperwork including certifying that your driver’s insurance meets the appropriate state’s standards, that the driver has a valid license, that your rally vehicle is being used with the permission of the owner, is in safe operating condition, is on the road legally, and that all its operational items such as lights, turn signals, brakes, horn, tires, mirrors, seat belts, windshield wipers and windshield washer are in proper working order. It will also give you time to review the rally’s general rules and to talk to other rally participants. This last is especially important if you’ve never run a rally before.
