Effective 01/01/08 TSD Rallys are banned in Illinois REGARDLESS OF SPEED. The statute is 625 ILCS 5/11-506. I have contacted my State Representative about the problem. I suggest that all that live in Illinois contact their State Representatives and/or State Senators about this statute. Please pass the info on to anyone planning a Time Speed Distance Rally in or through Illinois.

Just curious, Ernie, which of these definitions is a TSD rally supposed to meet ?

From https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilc...Vehicle+Code%2E

(3) The use of one or more vehicles in an attempt to
outgain or outdistance another vehicle; or

(4) The use of one or more vehicles to prevent
