CXKJR/CCMGC Rallies and Fun Runs
The Jag/MG Club of Vancouver organizes
several events for the rally enthusiast throughout the year covering roads in the Lower
Mainland and Washington. These are in two categories:
a. Championship Rallies counting for J.C.N.A. points, and CXKJR/CCMGC trophies incorporate time-speed-distance (TSD) and Monte-Carlo sections (see elsewhere in the web site for details on these sections), and are usually run over one or two days, over tarmac
roads. There are two classes, Expert and Novice. The Expert Class is for drivers and co-drivers who have won previous events, or whose vehicles are fitted with rally computers such as Haldas or Jaguar equipment. The Novice Class allows crews to learn the sport of rallying, while still being eligible for awards. This class also encompasses the basic equipment of a stopwatch and hand-held
calculator. Route instructions are provided as tulip diagrams or in descriptive form, and time is a factor. Maps, if necessary, are provided.
b. Fun Runs are designed for the whole family, or as many as can fit in a 2-seater MG, and although there is a competitive element to determine a winner, speed and timing are not factors. They usually run for about 2 hours, and again are on tarmac roads only.
Observation of signs along the road side or similar to answer cryptic clues is usually the organizer’s way of providing fun, as well as incorporating interesting less well traveled routes. The only equipment needed is a pen, a clipboard, and a good pair (or pairs) of eyes.
Route instructions are clear and unambiguous using road names, numbers, and land marks as guides.
In addition to the above, our Club usually has
representation on the Pat OBrien Mini Rally
(mid March), the Tulip/Daffodil Run (mid April), the Rally in the Valley (early July), the
All British Whistler Run (mid-September), and the Ladner-Bellingham Run (early November).
We also join the Fraser Valley British Motor Club on their Annual Fun Run in June.
Contact the Club Rally Master by phone, for event details such as, location, start time, and date confirmations - Rally Master is Al Riches.
The Club will provide rally training sessions, but marriage
counselling is the responsibility of the car occupants. Still want more "stuff" visit these sites below.
