There are several types of SCCA Road Rallies: Touring (i.e. TSD or time-speed-distance), GTA (game-tour-adventure, i.e. poker run), and Trek (organized cruise/convoy with a leader). While the Buccaneer Region Road Rally program is just getting started, the most common style event is a Touring/TSD rally. In a TSD rally, competitors are given a set of instructions that include a route and specific speeds to maintain. The goal is to arrive at checkpoints along the route at the correct time - not early or late, based on the prescribed speeds and distances. Precision in timing and adherence to the route are crucial. We leverage the Richta Rally suite of mobile applications that allow unmanned checkpoints and real-time scoring during events. A typical road rally will last around two hours in duration. 

Any person over 18 with a valid driver's license with any insured, street legal vehicle can participate. Since events are held on public roads, there are no advanced safety equipment requirements nor car restrictions, other than meeting the state’s guidelines for road legality and having the state’s minimum requirements for automobile insurance. Participants are encouraged to leverage a comfortable car, or a car they enjoy driving and riding in for an extended period of time. 

For Buccaneer Region events, pre-registration via motorsportsreg is required. All participants must be SCCA members but for those who are not SCCA members, weekend memberships are required for the driver. Passengers/navigators do not need to pay the weekend membership fee, but must complete a weekend membership form.
