WHAT IS A TSD RALLY?

Co-rallymasters, Jeff Joy and James Jurgenson

A TSD rally is conducted on public roads, at legal speeds with a driver and a navigator. There are different types of rallies, but in general the trick here is to get from point A to point B exactly on time. Competitors are split into several classes based on experience level and rally equipment. Don't be intimidated by the experts with their sensors on a non-driven wheel. People with just solar powered calculators or just using the OBC have finished near the top overall. For the TSD, get to the starting line about 30 minutes before your start time.

To calculate your start time, take the starting time of the event and add to it the number of minutes equal to your car number. For example, car 60 will add 60 minutes to the start time. This means for the 8:30 AM rally car 60 starts at 9:30 AM. Get there 30 minutes early or 9:00 AM. If you are confused already perhaps you should take the day off and catch up on that sleep. There are some tricks to rallying that are beyond the scope here. Clint Goss has an excellent book called Rally America! on running rallies that can be ordered directly from him. Pencils, a clipboard, a stop or rally watch, paper and calculator are all good things to bring along.
