This rally, originally planned as the July “Friday Niter,” is in the tradition of the Friday Niter rallies as a simple, fun event. Registration starts at 1:30PM in the SW corner of the Urbana Meijer parking lot. The drivers meeting begins at 2:15PM and first car off will be at 2:31PM. There will not be an Adventure class as this was planned as a night rally.
For this rally, Jonathan will provide the expected time at every turn and CAST change in the form of a Car Zero Time. To use the Car Zero Time, if you are car #6 and instruction 18 reads 20:38.27 Left at T CAST 40 , you would want to complete that turn at 8:44PM and roughly 15 seconds. The hope is that the Car Zero Time will make it easier for novices to understand how to stay on time by providing a reference point for each instruction. It also provides a reference point to calculate a Delay Allowance Request if a team should miss a turn in the dark.
To make course following a bit easier, the primary main road rule will be to follow the yellow center line if directed onto a road with a yellow center line. If not following the yellow line the secondary main road rule is the CCSCC commonly used Straight as Possible except at T rule. Signs and instructions are not meant to be tricky in any way but to represent commonly used instructions in CCSCC rally’s.
