Rally Philosophy

THE 1000 - Want to see some of the best rally roads in the country? The 1000 is a mostly unpaved tour of the scenic southern tier of NY and northern PA, The 1000 begins our week of rallying, with passage controls, great roads, reasonable start times and plenty of socializing in the evenings. Competitors will contribute to the success of the event by working controls ["run-work" is a concept which allows lots of controls without depleting the competitor base]. Competition in SCCA Touring Rally classes with regional general instructions.

HISTORIC NEW YORK - A scenic tour of the back roads of Finger Lakes country. A touring rally through the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes area of New York State. Starting and ending in Rochester, the beautiful scenery enhances the drive. Using both paved and unpaved roads, this event will be somewhat brisk, with passage controls and an on-time, all-the-time philosophy. Competition classes for regional newcomers, and SCCA touring rally classes, conforming with the 1997 Road Rally Rules.
