Putnam Purple Cow Precision is a Tour RoadRally designed to be run by individuals who are attending the SCCA Time Trial event at Putnam Park Road Course the weekend of July 1-2, 2023. While the goal on track is to go fast, the goal of a RoadRally is to drive with precision and observation. The course will take participants into Cloverdale and back to Putnam Park while highlighting some of the amenities and unusual sites in the area. The entire course can be driven in less than an hour.
The rally uses GPS checkpoints and participants may run it any time at their convenience from registration on Saturday until mid afternoon on Sunday, If you are joining us for pizza in Cloverdale on Saturday evening, you can drive the first part of the rally from Putnam Park to Cloverdale on the way and then finish the return trip whenever you would like.
The cost of the RoadRally is $25 per car for members. If you are not a member, but are running the Time Trial Event the same weekend, then your weekend membership for that event covers this event as well. If you are not an SCCA member and have not purchased a weekend membership that covers July 1-2, then you will need to pay a $15 weekend membership fee at event check-in.
To make things interesting, live scoring for the RoadRally will be available to view all weekend. If you run the rally and think you could do better, then for a $10 donation to the rally pot, we will assign you a new car number and you can run the event again. The winners of the event will get 50% of the rally pot, 2nd place will get 30% of the rally pot, and 3rd place will receive 20%.
The only class for this event is Stock. You must use either your car's stock odometer or a GPS odometer. A simple calculation device is permitted. The rally is designed that you can get a good score just by following the directions and maintaining the correct speed between checkpoints. It is designed for those who have not rallied before, but is also challenging for experienced rallyists. We promise you will see things that you probably have not seen before and be challenged by some good paved roads. There are no unpaved roads on this rally.
Items Needed:
- Street legal car
- 2 people in the car (driver and navigator)
- Pen/pencil/highlighter
- Clipboard
- Dedicated cell phone or GPS enabled tablet for checkpoint scoring
- Car stock Odometer or phone GPS app to track your mileage
