MVR Carver County Map Rally brings the spirit of the legendary to Minnesota backroads. Using printed tulip diagrams, route lines, and barricade challenges, teams navigate scenic Carver County roads the old-school way — no speed required, just sharp observation, teamwork, and a sense of adventure. It’s part puzzle, part driving tour, and part motorsport tradition, all wrapped into a fun day behind the wheel on some of the best rural roads in the area.

Minnesota Valley Rally is an SCCA/LOL Regional course rally. Somewhat similar to the last leg of Grumpy Old Men rally last January. If you are up for a challenge and a fun drive without having to worry about being on time this is for you. There are no apps to learn, just plot your course and follow the map while our transponders track you.

At this time we are planning on running the rally on Sunday at noon. With a probable start aroud 3-5PM. Google sys the rally is about 45 miles and shoud tke 1H 20m to run.

This will be a map based rally based on the Printed Lines and baricades style used on part of the famous Tulpenrally. You will be scored on distance and passage controls that confirm you took the correct course. Penalties for going through a blocade.

Printed line with barricades

1. From the beginning to the end of the route section to which this system applies, the printed line on the map

(PL) must be followed as accurately as possible, avoiding the barricades.

2. The PL (or part thereof) may only be driven in the direction that must be followed to get from the beginning

to the end of the PL. This direction may also be indicated by direction arrows along the PL.

3. (Parts of) the PL may be included in the route more than once.

4. The PL is interrupted by numbered barricades (crossbars). It is not permitted to drive on a road section that

contains a barricade. In numerical order, a secondary route must be constructed around each barricade,

whereby the following applies in order of importance:

1. the PL is left at the last possible junction of map roads before the barricade;

2. the PL is resumed at the first possible junction of map roads after the barricade;

3. the alternative route is as short as possible.

5. The combination of (the drivable parts of) the PL and the secondary routes forms the intended route.

The correct course does not allow U-turns.
