Rallying – A motorsport which involves both a driver and a co-driver/navigator. The sport uses street cars first retro-fitted with improved equipment and safety systems, and then driven competitively around closed roads in the wilderness.
Various instruments are used to collect information on the track:
- Speedometer – An instrument common to almost all motor vehicles, the speedometer determines the instantaneous travel speed of the car, based on an intricate system of magnets and gears.
- Odometer – Also common to all vehicles, the odometer tracks the rotation of the car’s wheels to determine and display the distance traveled by the vehicle.
Co-driver, or Navigator - During a rally, the car driver is accompanied by a co-driver or navigator, who, through the use of stage notes or pace notes, is responsible for keeping the driver on course and on time.
Stage Notes/Pace Notes - Read by the navigator, a set of detailed instructions describing every turn, hill, jump, obstacle, and distance between instructions in precise, detailed code language.
Reconnaissance - A pre-running of competitive sections of the course to create the pace notes or stage notes.

Famous quotes containing the words definition and/or list:
“... we all know the wag’s definition of a philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of the distance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
