Special Information
This will be the fourth in Bob’s series of excellent Double Arrow rallies. The main road rule will have you turning onto a side road whenever you encounter a double arrow on your right or left. Expect several interesting challenges, plus some new kinds of instructions. The rally is around 90 miles long and includes 10 to 15 miles of gravel roads. Come on out and see where some interesting Champaign and Douglas County back roads go. Please study the rally’s General Instructions before coming if you can. Even if you don’t run the rally you are still welcome to come to Monical’s Pizza to eat 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.
Don’t Have a Driver or Navigator?
If you don’t have a partner to drive or navigate for you just come by yourself. At almost every rally there are folks who come alone then team up with someone else to run the event. If you are lucky you’ll have a chance to team up with someone who has some rally experience. Sometimes that increases your chances of winning a trophy. If you’re only slightly less lucky you’ll get to run with someone who has no rally experience and have twice the fun as you discover what rallying is all about. At the very worst (which almost never happens) there will be no one to partner with and you will get the chance to work some of the checkpoints and see how everyone is doing as the event progresses.
