Rally and Tour

What is a Rally?

A road rally is a competitive driving event in which the participants navigate a pre-determined route trying to stay on course and on the correct time schedule. One type of rally is the time-speed-distance (TSD) rally, where the route instructions are plain, with correct mileage and elapsed time given. Cars are sent off in one or two minute intervals to avoid following each other and copying answers. The challenge is to drive the exact route at the exact speed in the exact time, not too fast, not too slow. The winner is the closest to the correct mileage and time. Another type of rally is the gimmick rally, such as photo rally (turns and landmarks are shown in photos supplied to each car), question-and-answer rally (questions are given, in any order, with answers supplied along the way by each car. For example, What year was St. Paul’s church built ?, What is sold at the Sugar Shack ?, What is the address of Fire Company 12 ?). The winning team must provide the most correct answers and report the correct mileage, while time is not a factor. Both driver and navigator are involved in staying on course and having a great time. In all cases, all traffic and safety laws must be observed at all times – this is NOT a race.

What is a Tour?

A tour event is a non-competitive driving event in which all cars leave together and follow plain directions and each other to some pre-determined location. Usually the destination is a restaurant or ice cream stand or other place of interest. The rally may be held on a summer’s weekday evening and only takes about 30-45 minutes to complete. The objective is to have a leisurely drive enjoying the cars, the scenery, a beautiful evening, and some good food and company.
