THUMBS UP-98 Road Rally

A DAYLIGHT/EVENING ROAD RALLY

Saturday, November 14, 1998

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. 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 new car either).

The event will follow the 1998 SCCA Road Rally Regulations for Tour rallies. In addition to the normal E, L, & S classes, there will be Novice and Vintage classes (Cars over 20 years old. Mechanical measuring and calculating equipment). 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 1997.
