About this event
DETROIT REGION SCCA PRESENTS
Moonlight Monte 2021
Saturday June 5, 2021
A DAYLIGHT/EVENING ROAD RALLY
THIS EVENT WILL COUNT TOWARD THE 2021 DETROIT REGION AND SCCA GREAT LAKES DIVISION RALLY CHAMPIONSHIPS
This year’s “Monte” will take competitors over approximately 200 miles of roads in the area between West Branch and Houghton Lake. Because many of Michigan's most interesting and least-traveled rally roads are unpaved, expect to run on Saturday and wash on Sunday. All of the roads chosen will be traversable at rally speeds in the average family car. Depending on weather conditions, you can expect a combination of dust, mud or washboard, so prepare accordingly. Course following will be straightforward with frequent mileaged instructions. A combination of speed changes, transits and pauses will challenge the teams to arrive “on time” at both open and closed controls.
All registration and waiver signing must be done online. There will be no on-site registration. If you do not have a SCCA Annual Waiver for 2021, you will be required to sign the SpeedWaiver online, either when you register or at: https://drscca.speedwaiver.com/ccijz, before the event.
NOTE: This rally will use the Richta app for timing and scoring. If you have not used this technology in a rally before then you must take a few moments to visit the Richta app information page at http://drscca.org/rally/using-the-richta-competitor-app/ to learn how the app works and how to use it.

Event requirements
ATTENTION! If you intend to use a TSD rally app on your smart phone or tablet device in this rally, you MUST read the following carefully and register to compete in the appropriate equipment class – either Stock or Limited.
Stock class requires that you use an app that does not incorporate automatic mileage measurement from any distance measuring source. This includes any app that automatically accumulates mileage utilizing the device’s internal GPS. You must manually enter mileages into the app using the app’s mileage input function. Furthermore the mileages entered into the app must come from the car’s stock odometer. You may not use any external odometer or a GPS-based odometer app on a phone or tablet device for rally computer app mileage input sources in Stock class.
You may choose to use a TSD rally computer app on your phone or tablet that automatically accumulates mileage based upon input from the device’s internal GPS, or from a separate third-party GPS receiver. However, using an app that automatically accumulates distance based upon GPS position data places you into Limited class. YOU CAN NOT RUN IN STOCK CLASS with any app that automatically accumulates mileage from any source.
Note that Novice class requirements are identical to Stock class. If you otherwise would qualify as a Novice class competitor (driver and navigator, combined, have competed in six or fewer rallies), but choose to use an app that automatically accumulates mileage from a GPS source you must compete in Limited class.
