Fast and Purr-ious Road Rally
2023-07-22 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | • Bond Auto Field, Barre, VT, 444 Prospect St, Barre, Vermont, United States
Start your engines and bring your thinking caps because the first annual Fast and Purr-ious Road Rally is this July 22nd at Bond Field in Barre. Bring your friends, family, or coworkers and form a team to decipher clues, find Waypoints, and win a prize at this super fun, family-friendly event! A Road Rally is a fun game played in the local area! Teams will be given clues that must be deciphered to find their way to certain locations. Once a team has found all 10 locations (and take their photo at our Waypoint Markers), they will return to the start – the first team to get back with all 10 photos wins!

The PartyThroughout the course of the Road Rally, we will be hosting a fun faire and BBQ that is open to the public! Vendors, games, food and more will be available and all proceeds will go toward helping shelter cats and kittens with food, litter, and vet care as they look for their forever homes! Whether you are here to play or here to compete, this party is sure to be a ton of fun!

The TeamsThis event is family friendly so all ages are welcome to join! Form your team with friends, family, and coworkers and grab your car! Entry fee is $10 per person and teams can consist of however many people fit safely in your vehicle! Dress the part because we will have a Prize for the team with the most spirit! Teams will also be encouraged to fundraise before the event for our feline friends! The highest donating team will win a special prize so get ready to roll and you might just be the winner!

The GoalOur hope is to raise a total of $50,000 – all of which will go toward the care of our cats! Every penny counts and every penny will go toward the cost of care and veterinary assistance for our shelter kitties. Did you know that a vet exam alone costs upwards of $150 per cat? Spay and neuters costs over $200 and vaccines nearly $150! It’s not easy keeping this many cats happy and healthy and we need your help to ensure they have all they need throughout the summer! It is our goal to hit this number and we know we can do it with your help!

How to Get InvolvedWe are on the hunt for Vendors, Sponsors, and Teams to make this Rally the best it can be! Whether you want to setup a booth, donate toward costs, volunteer materials or time, or want to play the game, we need people to make this happen! Sponsorship documents can be found via the links above and can be dropped off or mailed to:

OR: Northwest Classic Car Challenge
2023-08-03 08:00 - 2023-08-06 17:00 (America/Chicago) | • Ron Tonkin Alfa Romeo, 9008 SW Canyon Rd, Portland, OR, 97225, United States
In 2023, the NW Classic Car Challenge will have it’s 34th running over the August 3-6th weekend. The rally will hold close to its roots, featuring a classic TSD (time-speed-distance) road rally complete with MRDs/TRAPS, rigorous course following (using OR and ITIS instructions), and this year we have added a relaxed Tour rally. Both travel wonderful twisty backroads from Portland, OR to Eugene, Oregon, over two days of driving.

But we have also made some changes to change with the times. First, you no longer need an old car to participate. We ENCOURAGE new sports car owners to join! We have special recognition planned for new Alfa owners. But ANY suitable modern car can sign up. If you don’t want to drive that finicky Spider or MG, you can bring out your Mustang, BMW, or…

Our presenting sponsor, Vintage Underground, forged another change to encourage new and younger participants. The tour can now be a traditional “follow-the-leader” format or ON YOUR OWN with a simplified route book. And all tour participants can take some pictures along the way, like their car going through one of the seven covered bridges or other landmarks along the route. If they post the photos to Instagram or FaceBook with the event hashtag #NWCCRALLY, they receive a raffle ticket for items raffled during the Awards Brunch on Sunday. The goal is to encourage and engage tour participants and have something for them to look forward to on Sunday besides the People’s Choice “Concours and Coffee.”

Also added to Sunday is a classic, 1960s-style gymkhana. There is no cost; teams can watch, participate, or both (see details below in the comprehensive schedule). As of April 25th, we have 34 RALLY entries and eight TOUR entrants at the time of writing. We expect 50-60 cars in total.

Here is the planned schedule for the 34th NW Classic Car Challenge. The committee has created an enjoyable and complete weekend with social aspects and events beyond just a RALLY or a TOUR. It is a true bucket list event!

Time for the August First Friday Niter! Rallymaster Paul McGaffey has written a pure tour course using the Monte Carlo style timing. You will be given “Car Zero Times” at each Checkpoint. Just add your car number in minutes to the Car Zero Time to get your time to cross each Checkpoint. If you get there early, you may stop or creep without penalty, so long as you do it safely and out of traffic lanes. The course will take you through the magnificent driving roads of the Santa Monica Mountains and Finish at BJ’s Brewhouse, 3955 Thousand Oaks Blvd, Westlake Village.

This rally uses the Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints app for timing and scoring, with timing in seconds. This month’s maximum penalty is 60 seconds (1 minute) per checkpoint. The app is FREE and easy to use on any GPS-enabled smartphone. Go to the App Store or Google Play Store, or https://richtarally.com/. There is no need for additional timing equipment or clocks – your Official Time shows in the app!

Also, if you want to see all the scores at the Finish, download the FREE Richta Scoreboard app.

Please try to register online at MotorsportReg. This helps us figure out how many sets of instructions to print, trophies, etc. If that doesn’t work for you, you can still register in person, which opens at 7:00 pm, with the first car out at 8:01 pm; there is a beginner/Richta meeting at 7:40 pm.

TX: San Antonio 2023 Historic Tour RoadRally
2023-08-12 13:00 - 17:00 UTC | • Walmart, San Antonio, TX, 11210 Potranco Road, San Antonio, TX, United States
San Antonio has had more battles fought within its city limits than any other town in North America. These battles occurred while San Antonio was under the jurisdiction of Spain, the Republic of Mexico, The Republic of Texas, and the Confederate States of America, not to mention the United States. This Road Rally will take you to the approximate location of each site. However, the exact location of some of the sites is unknown, and other sites were running battles that ranged over several miles. If you want a more detailed investigation of any site, you are encouraged to revisit any site on your own and at your convenience—the oldest two sites date from 1813, and the youngest one from the 1870s.

This is a non-speed social Road Rally whose route will be along city streets, and speed bumps may be an issue for some cars. We will start on the west side of San Antonio, proceed to the far south side, and then complete our tour just north of downtown. It should take 90 minutes and two hours for this RoadRally as you learn about the history of San Antonio. Questions may be asked along the route, but awards are not based on questions or a car’s finish position. This RoadRally is meant to be a fun learning event and a social outing where all participants will vote on awards at our final destination.

On the event day, Saturday, 12 August 2023, participants will meet at the west side of the Walmart Superstore parking lot in San Antonio. Registration will be from 1:00 to 2:00, with a safety briefing at 1:45. After the safety briefing, cars will be released for the route which takes place on city streets. Our destination is The Longhorn Cafe at 1003 Tittiman Road in San Antonio.

2023-08-19 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | • SureStay by Best Western, Ontario, CA, 3201 Centre Lake Drive, Ontario, California, 91761, United States
Highway Robbery, an SCCA National RoadRally Course Championship Rally, will run on Saturday, August 19th. It’s a course rally that will test your ability to stay on course and on time. The rally will run primarily in San Bernardino County. There will be no absence of the sign traps and no lettered instructions. There will be ITIS (If There Is Such) instructions and a sign Aristotle (as per SMSCC Generals). There will be variable main road determinants, but no more than four at any time (often only two). In fact, you can run Highway Robbery using the SMSCC General Instructions with a short addendum instead of the RRRs if you want to. These are mostly the same generals we used on previous Highway Robberies. Jeanne English, Rallymaster, expects most contestants to do most legs correctly.

TX to CA: The 4th Trans-America
2023-08-20 - 2023-09-09 | • Fort Sam Houston Park, Houston, Texas, 1000 Bagby St, Houston, TX, 77002, United States
America is a land intrinsically linked with the automobile, and whilst the United States cannot lay a claim to being the ones that invented the contraption that we are all obsessed with, thanks to the likes of Ford and Durant et al. the motor car became something that would touch the lives of many and not just a few. It is a country that has inspired many, with its tall tales, cities that reach up to the heavens, huge landscapes and its all-encompassing skies. There is a long tradition of travel and a pull to enjoy life on the road, whether that be mounted on a Hog on Route 66, cruising in a Cadillac on the road to nowhere on Highway 3 or following in the footsteps of Kerouac, Moriarty and Ginsberg, on the road is very much a way of life.

Our own On the Road adventure will take us from Houston to San Francisco, on a route that heads almost all the way north to the Canadian border and then back down to the ‘city by the bay.’ As always, with our adventures, the route will take us on roads less travelled and whilst to see America is to cruise the freeways and highways, the roads that beckon those who choose to take on this trip will be an altogether less straight forward affair, giving us all the pleasure of seeing an America that many eyes never get to see. As Kerouac himself said, “There is nowhere to go, but everywhere.”

Over 21 days and thousands of miles our adventure will find our America, it will introduce us to a land of contrasts, some expected and some unexpected. Cowboy territory and the great plains will give way to the Rocky Mountains and high altitude passes, as well as tumultuous river crossings as we forge our own route across the great divide. Gravel roads will often be our friends, as we retrace the footsteps of the first pioneers that crossed these great lands, national parks will be our solace against the dust of the plains and deserts, offering a luscious oasis of green flora amongst fast flowing rivers and spectacular wildlife. For those with a head for heights the mighty Teton range will leave us breathless, and the venerable and ancient trees of the Klamath Forest will leave us humbled.

The event is open for vintage and cars built before 1948 and for Classic cars of a type built before 1986. Cars of a later date but unchanged mechanical specification will be considered at the Organisers’ discretion. Classes based on engine size will subdivide these categories.

The event is suitable for both novice and more experienced crews. Many roads are good tarmac and gravel, with competition on more remote roads, private land or race circuits. An easy to follow tulip route book will be supplied. Our experienced team of officials will be at your disposal at all times to support you and we will provide hints and tips on navigation.

Any car is allowed, such that it meets all Florida and Georgia state laws and is insured to meet those states’ minimum requirements. A valid driver’s license and proof of insurance will be required at on-site registration.

There will not be any official classes or required car numbers for this event. Each car is allowed as many people as there are seatbelts in the vehicle, but it is recommended that each car have at least two people, a Driver and a Navigator, such that teams can participate in the optional quizzes that will be provided at each checkpoint. There will be a starting location, five (5) checkpoints, followed by a finishing location.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. INTRODUCTIONWelcome to our inaugural road rally, created by the Buccaneer Region SCCA. The idea of this rally is to introduce participants to the idea of SCCA road rally in a fun, game (gimmick) manner. You will start at the specified location, and cars will leave 60 seconds apart from one another, eventually ending at the specified location. Along the way, participants will have the opportunity to answer questions to provide some entertainment for the passengers. The idea is to have some fun with your car and gather for a social event at the end.

2. COURSE FOLLOWINGAt check-in, participants will be given an envelope that contains the first checkpoint’s name and street address, along with a few questions that we encourage you to answer related to things you should see along that leg of the rally. Participants will enter the checkpoint address into their GPS or cell phone and follow the instructions it states to reach the destination. This is not a timed event, and you must obey all local posted traffic laws – including the speed limits! If you are given a citation for any reason while participating, your entry will be disqualified and no scores provided.

3. RALLY LEGSThe rally has six total legs. At each checkpoint, the participants will select a card from a deck of cards, and be provided with a new envelope containing the next checkpoint’s name and address, along with a new set of questions for that leg. The entrant enters the newly provided street address into their GPS and continues on. It is encouraged that the questions provided are read prior to leaving the checkpoint as you never know when the answers may appear!

4. SCORINGAs this event is a “poker run”, the participant’s “poker hand” will determine the winner. In the event of a tie, the total number of correct answers to the questions will be used as the tiebreaker.

5. SAFETYPlease drive carefully. Obey the speed limit at all times. Anyone receiving a citation of any kind will be disqualified. All roads used are paved and open to the public. Use extra caution in residential and congested areas.

Event Requirements

A valid driver’s license and vehicle insurance are required for each vehicle (driver) at onsite check-in.

OR: Nor'wester Rally 2023 - Oregon Backroads Tour
2023-09-15 15:00 - 2023-09-17 20:00 (America/Chicago) | • Cousin’s Country Inn, The Dalles, OR, 2114 W 6th St, The Dalles, Oregon, 97058, United States
Nor’wester is a Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally conducted since 1967, by the Rainier Auto Sports Club. Entrants receive instructions with specific, clear directions at speeds at or below legal limits, with specific times to start each section at one-minute intervals. Nor’wester is a “closed control” format where cars do not stop at checkpoints.

It’s a pure touring rally with no tricks or traps and an equal penalty for passing a checkpoint (which may be hidden) early or late. Speeding is a sure way to lose as the goal is to pass at the correct second, and the car with the least number of points wins. Precision timing is the main criterion, but Nor’wester also emphasizes remote areas and spectacular scenery.
