We will have a WCRA Novice Series for 2009 that will consist of 3 events. Series standings will be based on results from all 3 events and final results will be posted on Rally BC . We have already received a significant Prize donation package from Team Atlantic and Atlantic Driving Schools and we will continue to work with other sponsors to develop the series. Any and all suggestions and comments will be considered.

This is a training and development series, so you should expect that the events will be shorter and a bit slower than a regional event. All the events will be one day events, no longer than say 6 hours, so you can travel to them and get home the same day. They will be daylight only so no extra lights are required. For the 2 gravel events, we will make every effort to identify and give you time to slow down for any rough spots, so any car or truck with stock suspension will be perfectly suitable, and no car preparation will be required. For the 2 events in Merritt, we will run a free rally school on the morning of the events (on a request basis) for any competitors that have not ran a rally before, or ones that need some questions answered or a refresher.

There will be one class, and that is calculator. (which is called Equipped for Sno_Git 6 ) No unlimited equipment is allowed. There will be no paper class as we feel you need all the help, i.e. calculators, GPS, accessory odometers etc when you are just starting, and once you learn the basics you can move onto doing it with just paper and pencil. This should make the events simple and fair for all. There is a wide range of equipment allowed in calculator class. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will accept entries for the rallies in the other classes however they will not be awarded series points

Events

Sno_Git 6 is a well established rally organized and sanctioned by ORCA and run under similar rules as WCRA events. The course will use paved roads and will not contain traps. It will last about 5 hours, encompassing scenic areas of Snohomish and Skagit counties. This is a terrific event for both the novice and experienced competitor; whether they are driving a sports car or the family sedan. All instructions for this event will be in miles only, are prepared for the conversion to kilometers if that is what your odometer reads in. More details on the event will be available in early June.

The proposed time schedule for the two events in Merritt will be as follows:
