The Rally
This event is #2 in the V.I. Championship. It is organized by the Island Rallysport Club and sanctioned by Rally Pacific Motorsports as a NON Championship event under CARS General Competition Rules. For more information contact the IRC Rally Director, Glyn Trafford at gtrafford@shaw.ca or (250) 246-8282. The rally is based on the BC TSD Regulations with the exception of the sections referring to the BC Championship requirements. The rally will be broken into a series of transits (non-timed sections) and regularities (timed sections), with a number of these forming a leg, each of which ends with a meal or gas break, which will not be more than 250 kms apart. The rally runs on straight forward instructions which are provided on both kilometers and miles, but official measurements and calculations are based on the Km figures.

The Route
Consists of almost 100% gravel roads for the timed sections and paved roads for the transits. The route will be held entirely within Vancouver Island, beginning in the village of Lake Cowichan, approximately 20 minutes on highway 18 west of Duncan, BC and ends in Duncan, BC covering approximately 320 kms with one gas stop.

Classes
Unlimited – Unlimited equipment.
Equipped – Non-programmable calculating devices which are not driven by a wheel, and accessory odometers.
SOP – No calculators, rally tables or accessory odometers.

Scoring
The scores will be one point per second early or late, with a maximum of 300 points (5 minutes) at any one control, but NO maximum accumulated penalties per regularity. Ties will be broken by greatest number of zeros, ones, twos, etc. as needed.

Required Safety Equipment
1 reflective self-supporting warning emergency triangle (12” sides munimum), basic first aid kit, and a minimum 5BC fire extinguisher. Open cars require a roll bar. It is probably a good idea if you bring a full sized spare tire, not a donut, although we are not designing this rally as a car breaker by any means. Also, please bring a flashlight with fresh batteries.

Minors
Any entrants (driver or navigator) who are under the age of majority must sign an additional waiver, as well as have their legal guardian sign a special waiver. Any interested minors MUST contact Glyn Trafford at gtrafford@shaw.ca or (250) 246-8282 for the above forms and further details.

Awards
Trophies for 1st place driver and navigator ONLY , as well as dash plaques for all entrants and lots of good old fashioned rallying fun.
