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.

NH: Great American Mountain Rallye Revival Celebrates 70th Anniversary of 1953 Rally
2023-09-25 00:00 - 2023-09-27 23:59 (America/Chicago) | New England, USA, New Hampshire, United States
The Great American Mountain Rally Revival (GAMRR) will return to the beautiful Green Mountain State of Vermont this Fall. This fall will be the 70th Anniversary of the first running of the Great American Mountain Rally!

Thanksgiving weekend in 1953 started the Great American Mountain Rallye that ran for four years – through 1956. In 2018, my friend Steve McKelvie and I decided to revive this historical event as the Great American Mountain Rally Revival (GAMRR).

Since that first revival running in 2018, our entries have traversed almost 1600 miles through some of New England’s most beautiful countryside. We have run through New York’s Adirondack Mountains, Vermont’s Green Mountains, and New Hampshire & Maine’s White Mountains and Lakes Regions. We have retraced hundreds of miles of the original routes that were run in the 1950s.

In 2023, we will run the event out of the Bolton Valley area of Vermont, which affords us access to great mountain passes, rolling farmland, and the Lake Champlain Valley. If you have participated in GAMRR before, you know the quality of Vermont roads; otherwise, you will surely enjoy what we have in store for this year. As we did last year, we have a very special stop for lunch on day one at an amazing automotive facility.

Pricing and lodging details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks, and we anticipate opening registration in May. We are hoping you can join us for this special event!

Please click here to follow our GAMRR 2023 blog for information as it is developed. If you would like to be added to our 2023 GAMRR list, please email me, and we will add you to the list for emails with important information.

Till then, stay tuned via our Facebook page to be kept abreast of important updates about the GAMRR 2023.

Entry fees are $45/car + $15 for Weekend Membership if one team member in the car is not an SCCA member. There is a 35 car limit, so pre-registration is recommended. Series classes are Equipped, Limited, Stock, and Novice.
