2020 Show-Me Rally Supplementary Regulations
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 It’s Show-Me Rally time again. On behalf of the organizing committee, we want to thank you for
choosing this event. We hope to make it a great one for everyone. We can’t do this without the
support of our volunteers, so be sure to thank them whenever you see them. This event takes
place in Washington and Crawford Counties in Missouri and it would mean a lot to us and them
if you could support them whenever you can. Whether you need hotel rooms, food, drinks, gas,
car parts, or souvenirs, try to get them in the Potosi and Steelville areas.
We have many property owners along the stages, most of which appreciate the show that the
competitors put on as they race by, but do remember to be sensible and safe while traveling
around the area. Most rally attendees are visitors to the area so do your best to courteous and
respectful to our hosts.
2 DESCRIPTION & ORGANIZATION
2.1 Due to COVID-19 precautions, typical event areas and procedures such as registration, parc
expose, etc., have been changed or removed entirely – read carefully. Physical distancing will
be important to reduce our overall impact on the community. The rally activities are not open to
the public. All participants must be either ARA licensed (Competitors, their Crew Members,
Media, Officials) or registered on the ARA web site and working as a volunteer. Service area
and stage access will be strictly limited to these participants with the access points controlled.
The event operations will be conducted in a manner to comply with social distancing and other
local public health requirements and recommendations.
2.2 This event will be held under the current American Rally Association (ARA) Rules as modified
by bulletins. The Show-Me Rally (SMR) will consist of two days of competition and is part of the
ARA National Championship Series. SMR will offer a 2-pass recce, no Organizer supplied notes
will be available.
Any additional changes or additions to these Supplementary Regulations will be announced
only by numbered and dated bulletins. The Organizers and/or the Stewards shall decide upon
any conditions not foreseen in these regulations.
The Show-Me Rally route will be approximately 283 miles in length with approximately 81 miles
of competitive stages. All competitive stages will be held on roads that consist primarily of
gravel, and will vary somewhat in width and tightness. Roads vary from sweeping, well-
groomed roads to tight and twisty. There is a lot of vertical travel on sections of this course.
2.3 Weather: As has been seen over the past several years, Missouri weather patterns can best be
described as capricious. The committee is prepared to conduct this event under any
circumstances and will attempt give the contestant competition regardless of weather
conditions.

10 FEATURES OF THE RALLY
10.1 Parc Exposé: None. Cars will start the rally from the Service Area.
10.2 Due to COVID-19 requirements, the following procedures will be used for timing and scoring:
EZTrak is used to obtain stage start and finish times for scoring the stages and for establishing the finish time to be used for the normal transit calculation.
All controls time cars and record on their logs as normal. They just do not mark on the timecards.
At the ATCs the marshal does a verbal confirmation of the check-in minute for the co-driver.
At the stage starts the marshal does a verbal confirmation of the start minute. The car starts per the countdown clock.
At the flying finish, the car is timed and logged as normal.
At the FTC, the marshal writes the car number and finish time on a white board for display to the codriver.
During this process, the co-driver is to keep his own record of the ATC, start and FF times. The co-driver then calculates the correct arrival minute at the next control. The rally will provide a standard time card for the co-driver to use for his record keeping.
ATC control logs are used to enter the arrival times for scoring the transits. Other logs are used as backup for any disputed times.
10.3 Rejoining the event: Teams that have DNF’d and wish to re-enter after service may do so as a
non-competitive re-entry. The Chief Scrutineer must approve and Clerk of the Course will place
them safely in sequence.
10.4 Official Finish:
10.4.1 The Official Finish for competition will be at the MTC IN at the following location:
Friday: Steelville City Park, Steelville, MO

miles per hour for paved roads.

speed limit in the route book for all unpaved roads, except when they are being used for
special stages as part of the rally.

10.7 Car In Stream Procedure
