THUMBS UP-2000

Road Rally

Saturday, November 11, 2000

A Daylight/Evening Road Rally

The twelfth running of Thumbs Up will be similar to previous events, with similar speeds. It will take contestants over some 220 miles of roads in Michigan's thumb area. Because many of Michigan's most interesting and little traveled roads for rallying are unpaved, much use will be made of unpaved roads. All of the roads chosen will be usable at rally speeds in the average family car. Only well maintained, reasonably smooth, roads have been chosen.

The event will follow the 2000 SCCA Road Rally Regulations for Tour rallies. In addition to the normal E, L, & S classes, there will be novice and vintage classes (Cars built before 1980. Mechanical measuring and calculating equipment). Mileage will be given frequently to help prevent anyone from leaving the course. Two breaks, with time of day restarts, will be used to keep the rally together and on time. The ability to stay consistently on time, be alert at all times, and the ability to develop and maintain an accurate correction factor will challenge both the driver and navigator. We had 30 open controls in 1999.
