The Rally Tour is a rain or shine event. Please plan accordingly.

For this event we will be traveling in the southwest corner of New Hampshire and traveling through Massachusetts and Vermont making it a Tri-State event. We have traveled some in this area prior but are on new roads for our enjoyment.

We will be starting at the Cathedral of the Pines. The is a special place with a garden to enjoy and a museum to explore along with the open-air cathedral. The facilities open at 10 am for restrooms, however the grounds are open from sunrise. This is a nice place to maybe come early and look around the grounds prior to our driver’s meeting and departure.

From the Cathedral of the Pines, we will travel south through Royalton, MA and back up to Winchester, NH on our way into Vermont. We will have our morning break close to the border of Vermont. From there we will travel Northwest to Athens, VT not Greece, and then back to New Hampshire for lunch at Spencer’s in Walpole. If all works out, we will have the entire restaurant just for us.

Looking for good weather and for a nice drive on some good roads, traveling about 100 miles covering The Tri-State Escape.

These rallies fill quick, register soon to ensure your position. Once you register for the event, please complete your SpeedWaivers Quickly.

PCA still has not developed a method for SpeedWaviers for Minors, however we are going to work with the paper waiver for minors on this rally. We will be using the Paper Waiver “FOR MINORS AS OBSERVERS ONLY.” A parent or legal Guardian must sign this waiver in front of us or have it witnessed prior and then the minor signs. This Waiver is available on the PCA web site and attached for your use.

Once you register and just prior to the event you will receive an e-mail package containing your driving instructions and the route map. Please keep in mind these are general guidelines for our Rally Tour. Due to changing weather, road construction and other events things could change. The addresses for our break and lunch will be included. If you get lost, we can meet you there.

Please notify the Rally Chair or one of the leads if you need to leave the event at any time. If you leave the event at any time the PCA insurance stops. The overall insurance starts when we leave after the drivers meeting and ends when we arrive for lunch.

If you have signed up for lunch or other activities, it is expected, you will join us. One of the greatest challenges for planning these events is finding a place that will host us for lunch. We commit to them the head count that you provided at registration, and they are planning their staff and income based on this number.

Please note the details for the registration and what you registered for. Please be respectful of our hosts, club members and the timing of the events. If you register for the event, please be prepared to attend. If you need to cancel, (things do happen) please notify us so soon as possible. As much notice as you can provide gives us the opportunity to open your registration for another club member on the wait list.
