National Rally Driver - NRSCCA History

A road rally is a competition held on public roads in which both driving and navigational skills are tested. A crew consists of both a driver and a navigator. The object is to follow a set of written instructions, maintaining designated average speeds and arriving on time at checkpoints.

Being early -OR- late at a checkpoint is penalized. The sum of the penalties at each checkpoint is the final score for the rally, and the crew with the lowest score is the winner. A perfect score for a TSD (time, speed, distance) road rally = zero.

How the trophy is awarded:
The National Rally Driver is presented annually to the member who accumulates the most finishing position points as a driver during designated Regional, Divisional, and National events. The most current points system is explained below the list of winners.

This trophy and its companion, the National Rally Navigator, are not awarded when there are an insufficient number of local TSD events or a lack of participants at Divisional and National level events.

About the Trophy:
The trophy hangs on a wall and, similar to some of the other year end awards, has been expanded. There is currently room for only one more name.

Rally Driver Points

Points are counted for TSD (time, speed, distance) rallys only and include both Regional events and the best two finishes at Divisional or National level events.

Points are awarded to the team for finishing position in class: 10 for first, 9 for second, etc. The rallymaster is awarded 10 points and any checkpoint workers are awarded 8 points, since they cannot participate in the event.

Additional points for any two Divisional or National level rallys are awarded the same points as Regional events with the entrants responsible for providing a copy of the results to the pointskeeper in order to receive these points.

In past years, there was also a requirement that in order to be considered for this trophy, a competitor had to have worked a Regional rally in some capacity.
