 During a RoadRally, a driver and a navigator follow a set of instructions telling them
how to get from point A to point B on public roads. Part of the instruction include the
speed at which to travel which is never more than the speed limit. The goal is to stay on
course and on time. Sometimes the participants have to find clues along the way. Any
street legal car can compete. A working odometer, speedometer, a watch, and a note pad are
all it takes to successfully participate in a RoadRally. Membership in SCCA is not
necessary but the driver must have a valid state driver’s license and the
vehicle must have liability insurance. Anyone under 18
must have a special notarized permission slip from their guardian. A SCCA RoadRally
is not a speed event (see Performance Rally for speed rallies).
