Event name: Badger Burrow 2026
Password: bb

The object of the rally is to follow the prescribed route and arrive at each control (checkpoint) exactly on time. Contestants will be scored 0.1 point per 0.1 second for early or late arrival at each control.

This event is conducted in accordance with the 2026 RoadRally Regulations (RRRs), as amended by these general instructions/appendices. A printed version of the RRRs is available from Amazon for $5.95 + shipping or they can be downloaded free of charge from the SCCA website www.scca.com. It is our belief that these General Instructions and any addenda tell you everything you need to know to run this event.

Conventions

Time is indicated in minutes and seconds or in seconds. (for example 13:02:00 means
1 o’clock 2 minutes, no seconds. Pause 12 means pause 12 seconds).
Official Mileages are given to 0.001 mile at timing lines, restart points, and some other places.
Checkpoints are noted in the CP/RESTART column of the Route instructions. Any time you are working on an instruction that does not indicate a CP, you are in a Free Zone.
Any portion of the rally in a Free zone should be driven at a Safe and Prudent speed no higher than posted Speed Limits.

Course following

Please keep your headlamps on.

The course can be traversed at rally speeds with normal precautions and observing all normal traffic regulations and rules of the road.

Your ability to stay exactly on time will be the determining factor in winning the rally.

Official Mileage is reset to zero when the mileage is accompanied by the notation /0.000. Start the rally at the time shown in NRI 1 plus your car number in minutes. There is an odometer calibration check provided shortly after you start. The purpose of the odometer check is to allow you to compare your odometer to the rallymaster’s and make adjustments if necessary.

All mileages and speed changes associated with an intersection are taken/executed at one of the following in this order of precedence:
1. The Stop or Yield on your right that controls your rally car.
2. The backward facing stop sign or yield sign on your left that controls the road on which you depart the intersection. The exact point of measurement is where the front wheels of your car are at the slimmest view of this sign.
3. The apex or center of the intersection.

Route Instructions

The Route Instructions for the Rally are presented in a four column format as shown in the following Example:

The smaller blue numbers in parentheses represent the GPS coordinates of that location. These can be entered into most GPS units to direct you to this point if you are lost.

Some NRIs have two parts, separated by the word “OR”. Do whichever part you can execute first and ignore the part on the other side of the “OR”. You will execute one of the two parts.

In the absence of an NRI at an Intersection, follow the obvious main (principal) road as determined by road centerlines, curve arrows, backed up Stop or Yield signs, or straight as possible. For the purposes of this Rally, dead ends, cul de sacs, road ends do not exist and should not be followed unless instructed to do so.

Signs

A portion of a route instruction enclosed in quotes refers to a sign (“SIGN”). The quoted text may be part or all of the sign, but additional words will not appear in between quoted text. For example, if the sign refers to “NORTH VALLEY”, it could refer to NORTH VALLEY ROAD or OLD NORTH VALLEY. It could not refer to “NORTH HIDDEN VALLEY” or “NORTHVALLEY” or “NORTH’S VALLEY” or “NURTH VALLEY". You will not need to look backward to read a quoted sign.

Signs may be referred to graphically. In that case, they will not be enclosed in quotes. If there are multiple signs sharing a common support, the graphic representation may be of one or more than one of these signs.

Disregard slight color variations, graffiti, and other sign disfigurations.

and and with 40 on face of sign are different signs.

Breaks

Locations for gas, rest rooms, and snack breaks will be indicated in the Route Instructions. If you are behind schedule at a break, we strongly suggest you shorten the break and get back on time here.

Timing

Timing for the rally is from the previous Restart to that checkpoint. All checkpoints are noted in the route instructions.

Timing will be in hours, minutes, seconds, and tenths of seconds. The Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoint app records your arrival time at each control. At each timing control, the Richta Competitor App will ding and report your time and score at the control. If you wish, a tap on the bar on the screen should bring up a critique for that leg, including the exact mileage for that control. These mileages are provided to allow you to make minor adjustments to your mileage, but since they have been entered by hand, errors may occur. These mileages are intended as helpful, but should not the basis for major changes.

All starts are Nearest Minute restarts. These allow you to restart whenever you are ready. When you are ready to start the next leg, drive up to and stop at the restart point as specified in the Route Instructions. Once you have set up and are ready to go, leave that point at the top of the next minute that has not been used by another car. Shortly beyond that restart point is a trigger point that will cause your Richta Competitor app to ding and display your restart time. The Richta app takes note of the exact time that you passed the trigger point and then then rounds that time to the nearest whole minute or half minute. It is your responsibility to make sure that you use the restart time as displayed in the Richta app. That is the restart time that will be used to compute your score. If the restart time in the app varies from the time you had planned, you must adjust to the restart time in the app.

Some checkpoints are Time Checks. Your Richta competitor app will ding, and your time will display. Time Checks are not scored. They are to allow you to adjust your clock if needed, and to reassure you that you are in the right place.

Emergency speeds and signs

If an emergency situation occurs, you will be instructed by a worker along the road at a checkpoint sign. There will be a form that the team must initial to show you have received the instructions. There is also a slim possibility that an emergency sign may need to be placed if something changes on the rally day. These signs will be written on colored plastic dinner plates and put up in an obvious place (most often the support of a Stop sign). An emergency sign will be identified by the letters SCCA.

Three markings have special meanings as follows:

I - Ignore the road or sign.

NRI <number> - Execute the instruction associated with this number here.

Special Instruction - Just do whatever the sign says.

Scoring and penalties

Each 0.1 second early or late	0.1 point.
Maximum timing penalty	20 points
Unsportsmanlike conduct or irresponsible driving, including traffic citations.	Disqualification, or other penalty, at the discretion of the organizers
Time Allowance	No penalty

Final scores for the rally will be posted at the end point.

Time Allowances

Unforeseen events can happen on a Rally. Local traffic slows you, or you get lost. Whatever the reason, we want you to drive safely. Therefore, we encourage you to request a time allowance (TA) for any reason.
