Tick Tock Rally info on Oct 17, 2020 (072479) | MotorsportReg.com

You’re invited to the Tick Tock Rally, an SCCA Regional Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) tour rally.  The rally will start and end in Anna, Texas and will traverse paved backroads of Collin County.  At fun speeds. This is a precision driving event to (re)introduce TSD rallying to the Texas Region. We give you speeds to travel and then time you at points along the route to see how well you maintain those speeds.  Liz Witt is Rallymaster and, for those who know her, she promises there are absolutely no traps on this rally. All instructions telling you where to go have official mileages so following the course is very easy. It is not a speed or racing contest. Timing will rely on the Richta GPS smart phone app, developed recently by an experienced SCCA rallyist.  We will send you information on it after you pre-register. Also, we plan to conduct a Rally School (currently scheduled for October 10th), including a short test rally that you can run to see how the app works, before rally day. More to follow on this.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, every attempt will be made to minimize the risks of exposure to the virus. New processes and procedures have been developed and will be put into place to support this objective. We will send you all the registration materials to print and fill out at home. You do not have to get out of your car.  We will collect the completed registration forms from you and witness you signing the Release and Waiver of Liability.   We will also send you the General Instructions and Route Instructions to print out at home.

Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risk to you, comply with applicable COVID-19 guidelines and make the decision on whether or not to participate. If you are feeling unwell or are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, please stay home. If you have been in contact with someone who has been experiencing these symptoms in the last two weeks, please stay home. While on site, please take the health and safety of your fellow participants, volunteers and staff into consideration and practice social distancing, wear a mask, and wash your hands and/or use hand sanitizer frequently.
