RallyCross combines the features of Auto-Cross and ProRally, allowing drivers to race against the clock on an open field. A range
of vehicles from stock to full race all compete for the best combined
times in their respective class
| RallyCross
is the fastest growing form of competitive Motorsports in
the United States today. The Florida Region RallyCross Championship
received the 2007
National RallyCross Region Achievement Award at the SCCA
National Convention acknowledging our program as the SCCA's most successful
RallyCross Program in the country. (See below for

RALLYCROSS
RallyCross is
not only the most widespread and readily accessible form of
Sports Car Club of America extreme dirt Motorsports, it is the
logical first step for an aspiring Performance Rally competitor.
It is a competitive event combining the driving skills of a
Solo II with the loose surfaces of a PRO Rally.
Imagine a scaled
down version of a performance rally stage laid out on a non-paved
plot of land where the course is delineated by traffic cones
instead of trees or rocks.
Designed to test a driver's ability to control his or
her car rather than a test of sheer horsepower, almost any car
is eligible to compete, with the exception of open top vehicles
and lifted pick-up trucks.
The entry fees and
equipment requirements are considerably less than those necessary to
enter any other forms of performance rally, so in most locations one
need only arrive at event registration with a sound, hardtop vehicle
and the entry fee. Many SCCA Regions have helmets to loan and will
assist the first time competitor with entering the appropriate
class, making their way through technical inspection and finding
their way around the course. Best of all, it's great fun!
Rally
Cross is experiencing huge growth across the country and is
the most popular form of Motorsports in the SCCA.

Two people
(a driver and a navigator) in ordinary cars make up a rally team.
A Road Rally is traversed over public roads within the legal speed
limit. The challenge is to drive on time, arriving at points along
the route neither early nor late (it's NOT a race). Each team needs
a simple watch which can be synchronized to match official time, as
well as something to write on and with. Interior lighting (map
lights, a flashlight, etc) is also a good idea for night rallies.
After receiving and browsing the route book, cars start at one
minute intervals. The first section, a short 10-15 mile route, is
called the "Odometer Calibration Zone," and is used to calibrate the
rally car's odometer to the official mileage used to measure the
course by the Rallymaster. After this section, the competition
really begins, as you must follow the course using the instructions
in the route book, as well as the general instructions that govern
the rally. Meanwhile, you must also stay on time, based on the
average speeds given in the instructions at various points through
the routes.
At
various points, unknown to the competitors, timing controls
(checkpoints) will be encountered. Since the rallymaster knows the
exact distance and speeds you should have traveled to reach the
checkpoint, the "perfect time" of arrival can be calculated. You are
timed at the moment you reach the control, and will receive penalty
points for arriving either early OR late. You are then given
information about the last leg, as well as a time to start the next
leg, and a clean start to challenge the clock. This is a contest of
precision, not a race, and each leg is scored separately. If you are
early or late at one control, you cannot make up for it by being
late or early at the next. At the conclusion, scores for all legs
are totaled, and the lowest score wins (just like golf). Sound easy?
Well, just as in golf, it takes practice to get very good scores.
Regardless of how well you score, rallying is a lot of fun if you
like to spend time in your car, see some scenery and spend time with
congenial people. Rallies usually end at a location where munchies
and beverages are available. You can join the rest of the crowd in
discussing how the event went and how you did, while waiting for the
final scores to be calculated and trophies to be awarded.
