THUMBS UP-97 Road Rally

A DAYLIGHT/EVENING ROAD RALLY

Saturday, November 8, 1997

BEGINNERS WELCOME

THIS EVENT COUNTS TOWARD THE DETROIT REGION AND CEN-DIV RALLY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Thumbs Up will be similar to last year's event, with the similar speeds. Starting in the afternoon allows us to use some great roads that have too many horses in the daytime. It will take contestants over some 220 miles of roads in Michigan's thumb area. Because many of Michigan's most interesting and little travelled 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 rallymaster doesn't want to hurt his car either).

The event will follow the 1997 SCCA Road Rally Regulations for Tour rallies. Mileages 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 33 open controls in 1996.
