MN: Land O’ Lakes Region Flamethrower Divisional RoadRally
February 25, 2023 @ 2:00 PM – 9:00 PM
The Flamethrower Rally is a Regularity Rally run in MN part of the Driftless area. The course traverses the Valleys flowing into the Mississippi River, taking advantage of the elevation changes and natural twisty roads in the valleys.
Only two people are allowed in the car. If your navigator is a minor a special release is required.
No special equipment is required. A smart phone with built in GPS will make it a lot easier and more fun. A free app is available from your favorite app store. The app not only provides the timing but also provides a digital roadbook similar to the one used at Dakar in 2021 and 2022. The app also does all calculations for you so that you always know if you are on time.
For those without a smartphone or their own navigation systems we have SmartControl devices to do the timing.
We suggest you use the Rabbit Rally app to run this event. It’s a Rally Computer app that does all the work for you to stay on time.
Entry fee is $40/car, and another $15 for Weekend Membership if you are not an SCCA Member.
In-person sign-in starts at 2:00PM, First car out at 3:31PM
Length: 5 hours, 137 miles
It is recommended that you have Winter rated tires. Most all season tires are not. We suggest you also bring standard winter travel items such as a blanket, boots, warm weather gear, etc in case you go off the road.
