What does the Rally Program do?

We drive roads of New England and eastern New York in search of fun.  We look for Porsche-worthy low-traffic routes in good condition, with twists, turns, elevation changes, and scenic qualities.  We generally try to minimize highway driving, but recognize highways are often necessary to get us to the desired roads.  We look for variety.

Typically, we will enjoy a meal together after a drive.

Most events are one-day affairs, but we offer three-day get-a-way weekends twice per season.  These are generally further afield to a destination worthy of the effort and offer lunch and group dinner opportunities.

When do Rally events occur?

Our driving season begins in May and runs through October.  Events run rain or shine.  Dates and times for Rally Events are listed in each issue of Northlander in the “Rally Corner” column, announced in Rally Update email blasts, and are posted on the NCR Calendar on the website.  Occasionally a date or time will change to accommodate constraints of a venue, so checking the Calendar periodically will keep you tuned in.

Who plans and manages the events?

North Country Rally Team coordinates planning and event management.  NCR members plan events, test drive roads to make sure they are suitable, find rest-stop and restaurant venues, and staff each event.  This is a 100% volunteer operation.

What do I need to participate?

Bring your Porsche plus a willingness to (i) meet new friends in the welcoming North Country tradition, (ii) drive unfamiliar roads and enjoy the curves and scenery, and (iii) socialize over food and drink.
