SCCA Detroit Region Presents

Press on Regardless® National Tour RoadRally(s)

Friday and Saturday, September 8 & 9, 2023  

You are invited to join us for two 225-mile brisk time-speed-distance, National Tour RoadRally(s) run on the fun and challenging roads of northern Michigan. Each day is sanctioned as a separate rally and points. The Richta GPS Checkpoint app will be used for timing. The cumulative score from both days will determine the overall winners of the 2023 POR. You can expect at least 100 checkpoints each day. First run in 1949, POR (Press On Regardless®) is the oldest continuously run rally in North America. These straightforward (absolutely no traps) Tour rallies will use a mix of unpaved (80%) and paved (20%) roads varying from smooth fast gravel roads to tight and technical single lane roads. While not a car breaker, vehicles with low ground clearance are not recommended. Liberal use of free zones and pauses help you navigate through any rough areas on the route.

Tentative schedule for both days. Pre-registration is required:

11 AM to 12 PM (noon): Competitor check-in at headquarters hotel
12:01 PM: Car #1 receives Route Instructions.
1:01 PM: Car #1 starts rally.
~ 11:30 PM: Car #1 finishes rally.

Headquarters Hotel: Hampton Inn – Gaylord. 230 Dickerson Rd, Gaylord, MI 49735. Phone: 989-731-4000. A block of rooms with 2 queen beds will be held until August 24, 2023, at a special rate of $129/night plus tax. Specify “POR” to get this rate.

NOTE:  The group rate was mistakenly set up for just Thursday and Friday, but the hotel will honor the same price for Saturday night. When registering, you will need to make two reservations, the first one for Friday or Thursday and Friday and ask for the group rate for “POR”. Then make a separate reservation for Saturday at the higher price, but it will be adjusted by the manager to the group rate.

Friday, September 8, 2023: Press On Regardless – Friday. SCCA member, $85 per car.

Saturday, September 9, 2023: Press On Regardless – Saturday. SCCA member, $85 per car.

All non-members must apply for a weekend membership.  The cost is $20 per person if you are not an SCCA member. This is new for 2023...every entrant for a National Rally must be a member. 

T-Shirts are included in your entry fee. Please provide the shirt size for both entrants.

NOTE: We will be using the Richta GPS Checkpoint app that requires the use of a device like a smart phone or tablet.
Look for "Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints" app on Google Play Store or Apple App Store or click on the appropriate link:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/competitor-richta-checkpoint/id1448298019
 

During the rally, when each car reaches a checkpoint, the contestant’s device will signal a checkpoint has been reached. The device will then display your time and your score and say “early” or “late”. Your total score for the rally to that point will also be displayed.

Visit the Richta app information page at http://drscca.org/rally/using-the-richta-competitor-app/ to learn more about how the app works and how to use it.

  • All passage timing controls using Richta GPS app
  • Novices welcome and encouraged
  • Points toward Detroit Region, Great Lakes Division SCCA, and the SCCA National RR Championship
NOTE:  There will be a zoom meeting on Wednesday, September 6 at 7 pm EST
