Rally North America’s “2011 Rally Appalachia” July 18-21, 2011

1000 miles along some of the most scenic roads in the country, surrounded by eighty plus sports cars, muscle cars, and other unique rides, searching for secret check points at incredible places; this is Rally Appalachia.”

Established in the winter of 2009, Rally North America is a non-for-profit organization, aimed at bringing automotive enthusiasts from all over the United States and Canada, together to do to one thing: rallying. While other large rallies require unjustifiably high costs to enter and participate in; Rally North America or RNA, makes road rallies fun and affordable for everyone. Each rally organized by Rally North America, emphasizes one key idea: driving for a cause. There are several charities and non-profit organizations that give back to their causes. RNA believes that by combining the love for the automotive lifestyle and helping those in need, it is possible to do something “good” with the automotive hobby.

Last year’s 2010 Route 66 Rally, ninety participants raised over $3,000 for the Stephanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. Teams started in both Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA, and spent three days traveling down historic Route 66. Each day was filled with epic scenery and three checkpoints. Some 2,000 miles later, the east coast teams met the west coast teams in Amarillo, TX for a grand finale celebration and party. Awards were given out, sponsors thanked, and good times were had.

Rally North America is fortunate to benefit from the professional film work of TJ Fry and The MOB Theory, who continue to document these road rallies. There are also a vast amount of large-scale sponsors who help contribute to Rally North America’s road rallies including CJ Pony Parts, and CarDomain.com.
RNA is back at it again this July of 2011 with another exciting rally, open to all car enthusiasts. Get ready to drive through the mountains and along the coast, as we ramble on through the 2011 Rally Appalachia! All makes and models of vehicles are welcome on this exclusive VIP scavenger-hunt event. As of now, we have fifty two cars/teams signed up for next summer’s rally. We are capping entries to 80 cars/teams; which means you can still sign up! As of November 18, 2010 we still have 28 open spots for the 2011 Rally Appalachia.

...thanks for sharing! It's going to be a long 8 months, now...

 

...check this event out and see if we can get some more of us to show this Rally a strong showing of the real American sports car. As of now there are only a few of us Corvettes registered.

GTO's and, of course, Mustangs, are very well represented thus far.

TTT

 

Looks awesome. Just joined the board and plan on registering

 

Let me know if you want to cruise out to Winchester together!

 

I'd be interested but it's a little too close to the Black Hills Classic.

 

...but I understand: so little time to do all the events.

I would love to do the Black Hills but you talk about one heck of a drive from back here, wow! Maybe we'll see you again in the Spring down TN way!

 

I'll be roiling out of San Diego for this one. Did the RT 66 earlier this year and it was a blast, really good people.

 

I'm planning on being there Rick, I hope everyone can make it again!

 

Now THAT IS IMPRESSIVE!!!

 

This event sounds like a great time.....trying to convince my wife to be navigator, but after six days in the Vette (1 day from NJ to Winchester; 3 days on the Rally; 2 days to return from Charleston), we might wind up killing each other! :o) She's trying to get her cousin & husband ('02 C5) to come along....says that will give her relief from having to deal just with me every day! I need to read the info again to see if there's a cut off for registration (either time or number of entries).

Oops.....just went back to the site & it's now stating that registration is closed; taking "standbys" only. Guess we'll have to find something else to do next July!
