Rally Drill™

Practice the post before you stand it.

Rally Drill trains stage rally volunteers for the jobs that keep a stage running: the time control, the marshal post and the radio net. Work through realistic situations, read a study guide built from the ARA rules and your event documents, and earn a certificate when you pass.

Marshal Drill

Stand a post: closing the stage, blocking side roads, placing spectators, signaling course cars and handling the unexpected, with the reason and source behind every answer.

Work a control with practice cars and made-up times. Fill in each time card and your log sheet the way you would on stage: arrival control, stage start, flying finish and stop.

How it works

From study guide to certificate

  1. Read the guidePlain-language sections, stage sign artwork and overhead diagrams of real layouts.
  2. PracticeRandomized situations by station. Every answer is graded with the rule that backs it.
  3. Take the examA mixed exam across every station. 85% passes.
  4. Get certifiedA numbered certificate by email, recorded centrally for the organizers.

Every answer has a rule behind it

Volunteers don't just see right or wrong. Each result explains why, and names the rule or document it comes from, so what they learn on screen holds up at the control.

Arrival control · two cars on one minute Two crews hand you cards for the same minute. Who starts first? Correct Starts go in the order the crews reached the previous time control, not the order they handed you their cards. RCR 5.4.2(b) (2026)
