Registration open for DRSCCA Pavement Ends Road Rally for 2023

 

Registration is open for:

Pavement Ends 2023
a Regional/Divisional Tour Road Rally

When: Saturday, November 11, 2023

PROMOTION: The Region will refund $55 entry fee for Novices who participated in the rally.

Reminder: SCCA will refund up to 2 weekend memberships ($15 each) if redeemed within 60 days, when buying annual membership.

This year’s “Pavement Ends” rally will take competitors over approximately 180 miles of roads in the area west of Ann Arbor.  Because many of Michigan’s most interesting and least-traveled rally roads are unpaved, expect to run on Saturday and wash on Sunday.  All of the roads chosen will be traversable at rally speeds in the average family car.  Depending on weather conditions, you can expect a combination of dust, mud, or snow; so prepare accordingly.  Course following will be straightforward with frequent mileaged instructions.  A combination of speed changes, transits and pauses will challenge the teams to arrive “on time” at both open and closed controls.

Online pre-registration is required! http://msreg.com/PavementEnds2023

Registration ends on Wednesday, November 8, 2023 11:59 PM EST
