THUNDER ROAD 2023, an SCCA National Tour Rally on Saturday, June 17, 2023, and TWO LANE BLACKTOP, an SCCA Divisional Tour Rally, on Sunday, June 18, 2022.
THUNDER ROAD 2023
We are proud that last year's Thunder Road 2022 was named the Best New National Rally of 2022 by the SCCA, and we are striving to make TR23 even better. We will be running the most scenic and drivable roads in the San Gabriel, Tehachapi, and southern Sierra Nevada mountains, and through the farmlands and open vistas of Kern County and the Antelope Valley. We are working to make this rally worthy of the often-misused term “Epic Drive.” The rally is about 350 miles long and you will have about 8 and a half hours of driving nirvana with many breaks for gas, food, and rest stops.
TWO LANE BLACKTOP 2023
This rally will run our favorite driving roads in the Santa Susana and Topatopa mountains (two of southern California's transverse ranges), and through the farms, orchards, and open vistas of the Santa Clara River Valley, including the historic towns of Fillmore and Santa Paula. The rally is a little over 150 miles long and you will have just under 5 hours of driving excitement with frequent breaks for gas, food, and rest stops.
The object of both events is to enjoy driving sweeping, beautiful, challenging back roads at legal speeds while following simple directions in order to pass a series of Checkpoints at just the right time.
The Route Instructions will use a Monte Carlo format, meaning you get turn-by-turn directions, AND you get your target time at each Checkpoint. All Timed Checkpoints are listed in the Route Instructions, and all are referenced by prominent signs on the course. There are no preset average speeds, just run at the posted speed limits (rally is timed at least 2 mph BELOW those limits and has pauses where needed). If you reach a timed Checkpoint early, you can pull over, out of traffic lanes, and either creep, or stop and wait for your target time to pass by the Checkpoint.
There is no need for advanced math, no riddles, compasses, maps or gimmicks, just glorious roads to drive with a focus on precision and accuracy. This is a team sport -- driver and navigator must work together to get it right. The rallies will run rain or shine.
