SUMMARY:NY: Great American Mountain Rallye
DESCRIPTION:FROM THE EVENT ORGANIZERS — September 3rd Update! \nAutomotive 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. \nThe 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. \nIf 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).\n \nTo 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!\n \nYou 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!\nGeneral Instructions will be posted on the New England Region website at www.ner.org.\n_________________________________________________________________________ \nWe do have a post on the website for the event from February 2018\, and we received this update on March 25th — \nWe 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. \nIt is finally coming to fruition. \nWe have some sponsors\, including Hemmings\, and the Sports Car Club of America will sanction it! \n_______________________________________________ \nMarch 23\, 2018 \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \nCONTACTS:Gary Hamilton\, Rallymaster\, 978-500-8039 GAMRR2018@gmail.comSteve McKelvie\, Rally Chair\, 508-520-7135 shanna12@comcast.net \nRevival of 1950s Great American Mountain Rallyeto challenge drivers and cars retracing the historic 800-mile route\nELDRED\, 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. \nDriver-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. \n“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.” \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nPrior 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: \n• 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. \nAt the 2018 finish line\, 1st\, 2nd and 3rd places will be awarded in 3 classes: \n• 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 \nGary 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. \nArmed 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.
