The Northeast Rally Club hosted its second annual spring event - The Penn-York Road Rally - on 5/4 to 5/6, in the Binghamton, NY area. The rally course coverage the scenic roads in southern New York and northeast Pennsylvania. This was a TS (Time/Speed) Rally in which you drive according to specific course instructions, never over the speed limit, with the goal of accurate driving.  It was a weekend of sportsmanship and camaraderie: a driver, a navigator and a car, working together in friendly competition.  Meals were shared with other competitors, where many stories and tips were shared. The Northeast Rally Club was able to raise $4,322 for the work group camps organization, who will hold a camp in the Binghamton area in 2008.

Our next event will be the Pumpkin Run in Millsboro, DE on October 26 - 28. You can bring any car: your 1930 Model A, that hopped up 49 Buick or even a 2006 Mini Cooper S..  A handicap is provided to cars built before 1954, to even the odds, but even a 2005 Corvette is welcome.  You need no special equipment but an accurate or "factored" speedometer is recommended (rally computers are not allowed).  Mandatory rally school is provided on Friday. Rookies compete in a separate class.

Cars leave in 1 minute intervals from a set start point and travel the same course.  Instructions are very specific.  Surprise checkpoints will note your time and the teams (various classes) with the elapsed time closest to the perfect time win trophies and bragging rights. Come join in the fun!
