The Road Rally Handbook

Description: This is a brand new book in pristine condition in original shrink-wrap, sold by the author. Library Journal Review: Rallying is not racing in the accepted sense. Rather, it is a time-to-distance road skill test in which teams of drivers and navigators traverse a road course. The winner is the team that comes closest to matching the preset time for the length of the course. Rallying is a low-risk competition emphasizing speed accuracy, navigation skills, precision, and teamwork. Although other books have been written on the subject, most are now out of print. In addition, technological advances have given rallying a new face. This new book is thus as timely as it is comprehensive. After offering information to the beginner on getting started, it focuses on improving scores and moving to advanced rallying classes. Recommended for public libraries in areas where rallying is popular. Table of Contents: Part I - Getting Started 1. What is a Road Rally? 2. Your First Rally Part II - Running Novice Class 3.
