All vehicles entered into the USCA competition will be judged on their construction and modifications that enhance the look, performance, and/or functionality of a stock vehicle while maintaining or enhancing the Daily Drive comfort features and accessories.

Road Rally
The Road Rally is the single event that establishes the ability for the vehicle to be driven on the street. Â Routes will typically be 25 to 100 miles long and may or may not include stops.The Road Rally is not a race and all traffic laws must be obeyed. Vehicles must meet rules to enable them to be compliant with safety and environmental laws/regulations. Â Bonus points will be accumulated for the weekend competition and the series.
