For a Time/Speed/Distance rally all

you need is any street legal vehicle,

a team of a driver and navigator, a pen, some

paper and a stopwatch.

The name of the game is to follow a predetermined

course, find a checkpoint and arrive on time. Every

second late OR early is a point against you--the team with the lowest score wins.

Speeds are at or below posted limits and the legal rules of the road are paramount as we still share the roads with everyone else. In the event that a competitor becomes excessively late, there are mechanisms in place for such a contingency--speeding to regain lost time isn't necessary, let alone legal.

Typical entry classes are Novice, SOP (Seat Of the Pants or pencil and paper only), Equipped (allowing calculating equipment not interfaced with a direct mileage input), Masters (experienced SOPer's) and Unlimited (computer freaks).

A good way to try TSD rallying is to attend the monthly Friday Nighter series put on by the various North West Rally Council clubs. These events open at 7PM every second Friday of the month, last about two hours and finish at a pizza restaurant.

It's all great fun. Hope to see you there!
