IL: The “Bob Phillips” Memorial CHEESE Road Rally
May 6, 2023 @ 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM
The SCCA Blackhawk Valley Region presents The Bob Phillips Memorial CHEESE Road Rally on Saturday, May 6, 2023. Join your fellow car enthusiasts for this 4-hour, 80-mile poker-hand Road Rally! Be a part of BVR restarting its Road Rally program with the CHEESE Road Rally.
Bob Phillips was a long-time BVR member and Rally competitor. He was the Rallymaster for many, many CHEESE Rallies before he passed. It was initially called the Ides of CHEESE Rally and was run in March, with Awards being chunks of great Wisconsin Cheese. BVR is pleased to honor him as we restart our rally program.
Teams of a Driver and a Navigator will be issued a set of Route Instructions that will take you on a scenic drive through the marvelous country roads in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
This is a ‘Tour’ type rally, and there are no timing, route traps, or tricks – drive, and enjoy the great roads and country scenery. This rally is designed especially for people with little or no rally experience. The course can be traversed at rally speeds with standard precautions and observing all typical traffic regulations and rules of the road.
The object of the rally is to follow the prescribed route and arrive at each checkpoint so you may make a card draw from a deck of cards.
Checkpoints will be set up along the way to monitor how well you are following the route and allow you to draw a card for your team’s Poker Hand. The rally ends in Monroe, where Awards will be presented to the teams with the best Poker Hands.
Pre-registration is required for the rally. Entry fees are $30 per car for SCCA Members and $35 per car for our fellow motorsport enthusiasts. You may have up to four people in the car, yet you need a minimum of two. All are welcome, yet Minors (those under 18) must have Minor Waivers done prior, and you’ll find information on the registration site. Reach out to Rallymaster Tim Marx for more details!
