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

 "How about a "Wandering Tour" along streams and rivers, hills and dales of Southwest NH and Southeast VT.  Starting in Hillsborough, NH at the convenient Shaw's Supermarket on West Main Street, we'll gain some altitude, course through some fine twisties, follow some significant river, stream and brook waterways, access a few fine New England Covered Bridges and end near Keene, NH where we'll top off the day with a visit to a terrific, unique, private, climate-controlled rare and unusual car collection of about 100 vehicles AND where we'll also enjoy a catered lunch on site. 

The journey will be just about 107 miles, with two "rest stops" and being deep summer, offer the lure of that climate-controlled end-Tour leisurely lunch (at about 1:00 pm) and docent-narrated private visit to a rare collection of cars from the early 1900s through the 20th century."

We will be starting in Hillsborough, NH at:

Shaw’s Supermarket

276 West Main Street

Hillsborough, NH 03244

(603) 464-5110

From a restful break we will travel to visit a car collection and then on to enjoy our lunch at:

Lunch will be near Keene, NH with two stops along our route. The challenge in some of the areas we explore are the rest stops. There is not a good one halfway so we will stop in thirds for this event.

As we get closer complete driving instructions and the final location will be provided. As with many of our Rally Tours these fill quickly.

During the registration process you will now see an option to donate to the Make-A-Wish group. This is a volunteer option and not required. Each year our club, North Country Region of the Porsche Club of America donates to Make-A-Wish. By adding this option to the Rally Tour registration process maybe we can be part of increasing this donation and provide additional wishes for our children. For the donation process, if you select 1 it will add a $5.00 donation to your cost, for each additional number it adds an additional $5.00 cost to your registration costs.  Thank you for considering this donation process.

Any concerns with registration please let us know. If it suggests the Rally Tour is full, please let us know so we can add you to the wait list. We watch this closely and make sure everyone has a chance to join us.  Contact us at: rally@ncr-pca.org 

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.
