Along the way, we’ll introduce you to a bit of history, showcase some out-of-the-way communities, host a reception or two, and allow plenty of time for socializing and just plain fun—all in the hope that you will have as much fun participating in this weekend as we’ve had organizing it for you.

If you will enjoy Monday, Oct. 8, as a holiday (Columbus Day), we urge you spend an extra day in St. Louis and enjoy some of the great things our region has to offer. Actually, visit a day early, too. There’s a lot to do and see here (e.g., visit explorestlouis.com, illinoissouth.org, and columbiaillinois.com/408/Tourism). You won’t regret it.

NY: Great American Mountain Rallye
2018-10-11 00:00 - 2018-10-14 23:59 (America/New_York) | Great American Mountain Rallye Start, 18 Bloomer Rd, North Salem, NY, 10560, United States
FROM THE EVENT ORGANIZERS — September 3rd Update!
Automotive rally teams from the northeastern U.S. and beyond will gather October 12–14, 2018, to challenge their cars and themselves in a 700-mile Revival of the Great American Mountain Rallye (GAMR), a European-style endurance event that was held annually from 1953-1957 in upstate N.Y. and New England.
The route of the Great American Mountain Rally Revival has been finalized. The rally is made of transits between self-start timed sections. While there are times required to complete the entire day, it is not necessary to be on time all the time; therefore, drivers can enjoy the mountain roads and the colorful autumn leaves that New England is famous for in the fall without the constant timing stress except for the timed sections.
If you want to take part in the Great American Mountain Rally Revival or have any questions, then please call the Rallymaster: Gary Hamilton: 978-500-8039 or E-mail questions to: GAMRR2018@gmail.com (preferred as we may not always be in good cellphone reception).

To learn more about the Great American Mountain Rally Revival, click here, and you’ll be taken directly to MotorsportReg, where you can also register your team!

You can also head over to the Steve McKelvie blog by clicking here. You’ll want to check out other rally writings there, too; it is a wonderful blog for our sport!
General Instructions will be posted on the New England Region website at www.ner.org.
_________________________________________________________________________
We do have a post on the website for the event from February 2018, and we received this update on March 25th —
We have been working on a revival of the Historic Great American Mountain Rallye that was run in the mid-late 50s from NY up through New England to the Canadian Border.
It is finally coming to fruition.
We have some sponsors, including Hemmings, and the Sports Car Club of America will sanction it!

Revival of 1950s Great American Mountain Rallyeto challenge drivers and cars retracing the historic 800-mile route
ELDRED, N.Y. — Automotive rally teams from the northeastern U.S. and beyond will gather October 11–14, 2018, to challenge their cars and themselves in an 700-mile Revival of the Great American Mountain Rallye [GAMR], a European-style endurance event that was held annually from 1953-1957 in upstate N.Y. and New England.
Driver-and-navigator teams competing in the GAMR Revival will gather on Thursday, October 11, 2018, at Churchill Classic Cars, Eldred, New York, for orientation/inspection. Teams will receive authentic 1953 Mobilgas maps and written instructions about which portions of the original 1100-mile GAMR route to follow. The next morning, drivers will start their engines, and navigators will guide them northward through Vermont to the Canadian border, southward to New Hampshire, and then back over the Vermont border to the finish line. Rally officials will throw the checkered flag on Sunday, October 14, 2018, at Hemmings Motor News in Bennington, Vermont.
“This is an extraordinary event that will celebrate the way rallies used to be,” said Rally Chairman Steve McKelvie. “Although it’s not a typical rally, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) has sanctioned the event as a New England Regional Rally.”
The original GAMR, described in April 1956 by Auto Age as “America’s longest, toughest, and coldest rallye,” was the first U.S. rally listed by Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). It attracted local amateurs, top drivers from American car clubs, automotive factory teams, and driving celebrities.
The Rootes Motors team in 1953 and 1954 entered top British driver Sheila van Damm. In 1954, Formula 1 racer Stirling Moss competed. In 1956, F1 Champion Juan Manuel Fangio served as the official starter, throwing the green flag; and Monte Carlo Rally winner Maurice Gatsonides was a contender. Cars included both foreign and domestic, such as the Buick Century, Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Crestliner, English Ford Anglia, Jaguar XK140, Lincoln Capri, MG TF and Magnette, Porsche 356 Speedster, Renault 4CV, Saab 93, Sunbeam Alpine, and Triumph TR3.
Prior to starting the Revival on October 12, this year’s teams will receive route instructions in a written narrative and original 1953 Mobilgas Maps of Southern and Northern New England: identical to those of 60-odd years ago. Only roads appearing on these maps will be included. All teams will be restricted to equipment similar to that used in original GAMRs:
• Rally odometers with up to 2 distance displays are permitted; rally computers providing average speed information are not allowed, except for Halda Speedpilots.• Mechanical calculators and slide rules are permitted; electronic calculators are not.• Paper speed tables are permitted; electronic speed tables are not.• Clocks and stopwatches are permitted without restriction.• GPS mapping assists are not permitted.
At the 2018 finish line, 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will be awarded in 3 classes:
• Original: Cars that could have competed in 1950s GAMRs (model year 1957 or older)• Classic: Cars of model years 1958-1980• Modern: Cars of model years 1981 or newer
Gary Hamilton, a land surveyor from Ipswich, Massachusetts, and Steve McKelvie, a civil engineer from Franklin, Massachusetts, collaborated to recreate the 2018 GAMR Revival as authentically as possible. Original rules required entrants to use written instructions and 1953 Mobilgas Maps.
Armed with the above information—as well as Google Earth© and Garmin Basecamp© software—Hamilton developed the route into a map. The original GAMR rallies were modeled on Europe’s grueling classic rallies, and Hamilton and McKelvie continued with this approach: “Why go to Europe when you can do a European-style rally here?” asks McKelvie.

OR: Ghouls Gambol Road Rally: Whiskers' Big Day
2018-10-27 09:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | • Lowe’s – Milwaukie, OR, 13631 SE Johnson Rd, Milwaukie, OR, 97222, United States
Happy Halloween and Welcome to Ghouls GambolFor over 50 years ghosts, goblins, spooks, spirits, the dead, the undead, and even the mostly dead have returned to haunt the Cascade Sports Car Club’s Halloween road rally. In years past rally teams have had to navigate through cemetaries to find hidden clues, reach into a screaming victim’s chest, or worse. There have been haunted locations – like the legendary barn on Pumpkin Ridge or the slaughter house. The slaughter house…they say if you listen on a cold, crisp October night you can still hear the screams.
This year the rally explores Washington County’s farmland and autumn colors. Roads are generally paved with less than 3 miles of unpaved roads. Speeds are reasonable, a rally is not a race. The rally includes a stop at Lakeview Farms*. Take the train through Halloween tunnels, see what lurks beneath the surface when riding the sternwheeler over the lake, explore the hay maze, pick up a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, and visit the fall harvest gift shop. Lots to do and see at Lakeview Farms. But keep track of the time – you’re still on a road rally!
The rally will include both tricks and treats – standard CSCC rally rules apply. And yes, the event is suitable for beginners, er, victims.
Prizes for first through third in rally classes plus best costume(s) and best decorated vehicle.
Classes include: Unlimited, SOP and Nervous.
Cost: $25 per car ($20 for CSCC members)
* LakeView Farms activity costs not included

NY: Route of All Evil Road Rally
2018-11-03 13:00 - 2018-11-04 00:30 (America/New_York) | Norwich, NY, Norwich, NY, United States
Rallymaster Frank Beyer (aka Dr Devio), wanted to share 50 years of going out to the backroads of Upstate New York to enjoy his car, the countryside and rally friends. The Absolute Zero rally was held May 19th to serve as a refresher on rallying before rally computers and GPS, when everyone ran SOP (seat of the pants).
The SCCA Central New York Region will sanction the Route of All Evil (Easier Said Than Done), based out of Norwich, NY. 270 miles of brisk driving, appropriate to the roads. In the tradition of the Covered Bridge Rally, we’re using the Vermont Winter Challenge format: Section A has written instructions with some unique route situations, where you’ll be challenged, amused and on-course. Section B starts with a highlighted map and finishes with tulips and mileages. Section C is all tulips and mileages.
TSD experience will be helpful. Standard Equipment Classes with a separate award for best finish using GPS.
This event will be by pre-registration only. Entry fee is $100 per car, cash only payment.
For General Instructions, Registration, and additional questions, please contact Rallymaster Frank Beyer!

PA: The Food Drive Road Rally
2018-11-10 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | MN
Join the SCCA Philadelphia Region on their Food Drive Road Rally.

MN: Cannon River Rally
2018-12-08 12:30 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | American Legion, 50 Sibley Street, Hastings, MN, 55033, United States
Rally starts at the in Historic Hastings, MN at the American Legion overlooking the Mississippi River. After a drive along the river we hit the twisty windy roads of the Cannon River Valley. Most roads are unpaved. On the way to the break in Red Wing we pass thru Welch, MN. Then some of the roads made famous on the Flamethrower are used before returning to the Cannon river valley for the finishing controls ending at the Trilion Brewing Company in downtown Cannon Falls. The brewery is situated on the Cannon River with great views of the river to go along with the great beer. (Craft Root Beer available as well). The brewery serves no food but has pop corn. We are planning to order in some pizzas. You can also bring your own food if you wish.

This rally will use the MiRally worker-less control system. The MiRally system is very similar to the timing used on the Historic Monte Carlo rally.

A new kind or rally in the United States. The MiRally worker less control system will be employed. Each car will need to have an iOS or Android device running the Crono app. This app monitors your location using GPS and reports it to a central Timing and Scoring facility in the cloud. The timing points will be essentially Passage Controls. A timed section, usually 2 -5 miles may provide timing points every quarter mile. With 11 timing zones we will approach 100 controls.

Contestants need to download and sign up for the MiRally Crono app at the appropriate place for your smart phone. This is MANDATORY.

The Rabbit Rally app is optional. Get it from Google Play or Apple App store. You will be given an RBK file that greatly simplifies the running of the rally. It should be run on a different device than Crono.

The Rally Rabbit app makes it easier for people to score well on the event as it helps you stay on time. If you are proficient at timekeeping your current method should continue to serve you well.

PA: Cat 22 Monopoly RoadRally
2018-12-26 - 2018-12-30 | • Panera Bread, Murrysville, PA, 4899 William Penn Highway, Murrysville, PA, 15668, United States

MI: Son of Sno*Drift XXI
2019-01-12 08:30 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | MN
Son of Sno*Drift is intended to be a winter rally. As such, it is hoped that the challenges of winter driving will be a part of the fun. Son of Sno*Drift is a straightforward Time, Speed, Distance (TSD) Road Rally with simple instructions and no traps. NOVICES Welcome!

Roads used on Son of Sno*Drift will be primarily unpaved and run within Livingston, Washtenaw and Jackson counties. Total distance will be approximately 175 miles with two breaks. Mileages will be provided with each instruction, which will be by tulip diagram and written description.

With very few exceptions, this rally will run to the SCCA Tour Rally Rules. his event will count toward the Detroit Region and Great Lakes Division SCCA Road Rally Championships.

ATTENTION! If you intend to use a TSD rally app on your smart phone or tablet device in this rally, you MUST read the following carefully and register to compete in the appropriate equipment class – either Stock or Limited.

Stock class requires that you use an app that does not incorporate automatic mileage measurement from any distance measuring source. This includes any app that automatically accumulates mileage utilizing the device’s internal GPS. You must manually enter mileages into the app using the app’s mileage input function. Furthermore the mileages entered into the app must come from the car’s stock odometer. You may not use any external odometer or a GPS-based odometer app on a phone or tablet device for rally computer app mileage input sources in Stock class.

You may choose to use a TSD rally computer app on your phone or tablet that automatically accumulates mileage based upon input from the device’s internal GPS, or from a separate third-party GPS receiver. However, using an app that automatically accumulates distance based upon GPS position data places you into Limited class. YOU CAN NOT RUN IN STOCK CLASS with any app that automatically accumulates mileage from any source.

Note that Novice class requirements are identical to Stock class. If you otherwise would qualify as a Novice class competitor (driver and navigator, combined, have competed in six or fewer rallies), but choose to use an app that automatically accumulates mileage from a GPS source you must compete in Limited class.

Son of Sno*Drift is not to be confused with the “Sno*Drift” Performance Rally, which is part of the American Rally Association series. Son of Sno*Drift is expected to be a challenge to the driver, navigator and vehicle. Suitable tires and nighttime driving lights are recommended. Snow extraction equipment is also a wise idea. This should include, warning triangle(s), tow strap, shovel, warning triangle(s) etc.

Tentative schedule: 10:30 AM Registration Opens/ Route Instructions available 12:00 PM Safety Meeting 12:31 PM Car #1 Starts Rally 3:31 PM Car #1 Starts Section Two (Tentative) 6:31 PM Car #1 Starts Section Three (Tentative) 8:30 PM Car #1 Finishes (Approx.)

Entry fees (per car): $45 for SCCA members who register by January 9th Add $10 January 10th through the day of rally Add $5 if both entrants are not SCCA members

Awards will be presented to the first and second place teams in each of the following classes:E (Equipped) – unlimited equipment.L (Limited) – no limits on distance measuring equipment, but only a GPS odometer can be connected to the computer.S (Stock) – distance measurement limited to the stock odometer, in stock location. GPS odometers may NOT be used in this Class for any timing calculations.N (Novice) – any team where the total number of rallies entered by the two members of the team does not exceed six (6); and equipment is restricted to that of the Stock class.

The event will start at Aubree’s Pizzeria & Grill, 21775 Pontiac Trail, South Lyon, MI.

VT: Winter Challenge Rally
2019-02-09 13:00 - 2019-02-13 02:00 (America/New_York) | • The Hollow Inn – Barre, VT, 278 S Main St, Barre, VT, 05641, United States
The 15th Annual Winter Challenge Rally Weekend will consist of a single SCCA New England Region rally running from 4 PM Saturday until 2 AM Sunday with two breaks. Although no car-breaking roads will be used, the majority of the roads chosen are rural and unpaved roads, which will undoubtedly be snow and ice covered. The rally will go no further east than Littleton, NH, no further north than Lyndon, VT, no further west than Montpelier, VT, and no further south than Randolph, VT.
This year the rally will again be STRAIGHT-FORWARD; no tricks and traps, perhaps a bit less ‘busy’, but with two or three opportunities to get off time – but NOT off course! It will, of course, be necessary to drive ‘briskly,’ mostly in the third section.
The route of the rally will be approximately 250 miles, with a maximum distance between gas stops of 90 miles. The break between sections will be about 1 hour. There will be approximately one control per every 9 miles of rallying! (That’s one of the things that makes rallying ‘fun’.)
Much of the rally will be run at night on remote back roads. You and your vehicle must be prepared for backcountry winter driving. This means good winter tires or DOT-approved studs, a warning triangle, a shovel, and a tow rope for the vehicle. This means warm clothes, blankets, flashlights, food, and whatever else you deem essential.
The 15th Winter Challenge Rally will be broken into three sections, each with its challenges and instruction format.
The first section will be in the written instruction format. This section will be a TSD rally; a relatively easy course following; I don’t expect people to go off-course! Some TSD experience is always helpful. Boringly slow!
The second section will be a combination of 2-15 mile map sections and tulip diagrams, brisk in places.
The third section will be tulip drawings, with mileages to most instructions; brisk in places.
Overall the Winter Challenge will be a thorough test of competitors’ rally expertise, ability to use their heads, and car control on snowy roads.
START/FINISH: The Winter Challenge Rally Weekend will headquarters at The Hollow Inn. There are some additional lodging options in the area. The Hollow Inn will try and accommodate an early check-in time of 11 AM; ask about it when making reservations.
DIRECTIONS: From I-89, take Exit 6 (Rte 63); follow four mi. to the traffic light. Left on Rte 14. On the right, approximately 3/4 mile.
