RALLY / TOURING
LSR periodically conducts Rallies, Fun Runs, and Tours (or joins with other local clubs) for those wishing to take a break (and give their brakes and tires a break) from those high testosterone / estrogen Drivers' Ed, Club Race, and Autocross events.
LSR events are meant to be more social than competitive and are activities that can involve the whole family (well, those with Cayennes or small children that can fit into the back of a 911) or older children who can navigate for their mom or dad driver.
In all types of events - Rally, Fun Run, or Tour - the objective is to get Porsche people together for a fun day with their cars and maybe learn something about the wonderful country that surrounds Houston at the same time. Click this link for information on rallies and tours on the PCA website.
The Rally Committee looks forward to seeing you at the next event.
Next Event
We have three PCA or Out-of-Region events coming up.
And don't forget about the Porsche Parade in July in St. Charles, Illinois. We hope to have a group drive to participate in this annual event from July 3rd through 9th, departing Houston Thursday, July 1st, (concours participants may need to depart earlier to allow prep time) for the two day drive. Registration opened on March 9th. Some activities, events, and accommodation options will fill up early, so register as soon as you can.
Did you miss Alpine Mountain Region's legendary PCA Tours at the last Parade? Well, the perfect event for you is the August 6-8, 2010 Tourpalooza! There will be four spectacular tours over three days on some of the best roads Colorado has to offer through places like the Rocky Mountain National Park, Camp Hale, Aspen, spectacular mountain passes, Leadville, and Buena Vista! In addition, there will be great group dining throughout the weekend and accommodations in the home base of Keystone Resort. All tours will be fully guided, with excellent directions, plentiful photo ops, and stops.
Your destination from September 9th - 12th is the beautiful Sun Peaks Resort in the scenic heart of British Columbia, Canada. Hosted by the Canada West Region of the Porsche Club of America and supported by all of the Zone 6 Regions, Escape 2010 will let you discover the warmth and hospitality of this great year-round mountain destination, located close to the city of Kamloops, in the Thompson-Okanagan Region of BC. This area is world renowned for its exquisite wines outdoor adventures from hiking to river rafting, spectacular scenery and what we consider the best Porsche driving roads on this side of the planet!

Rallies
Rallies involve covering a measured course in a certain amount of time. Several intermediate checkpoints are established on the route, and all teams must check in at given intervals at the checkpoints. This form generally requires higher speed driving and more precise navigation involving keeping track of both elapsed time, average speed, and distance. A conforming rally requires a large amount of planning, organization, coordination, and volunteer staffing.

Fun Run
Fun Runs involve covering a course
that has been laid out and measured before hand. Directions (sometimes
containing cryptic clues) are provided to each driver / navigator team,
and the objective is to cover the same distance as has been measured
on the course. At the same time, the teams will be asked to make certain
stops or observe and record landmarks or points of interest along the
way. The run will end with a lunch or dinner at a scenic spot, where
some nominal prizes are awarded to the team that most closely matches
their mileage to the measured course, to the team with the most correct
answers to the "landmark" questions, and to the team that (inadvertently)
covers the most distance trying to get from start to finish.

Tours
Touring involves all cars assembling at a start point and then driving in convoy along a scenic route (for example, a Spring wildflower tour). The trip usually ends at a restaurant or other point of interest.
PCA has several documents that pertain to planning, conducting, and post event reporting for touring activities. This same level of documentation is generally available for all PCA events that LSR conducts; however, tours are more likely to be organized and conducted on an informal basis. Persons leading tours need to be aware of this information.
NOTE - these documents and forms change from time to time. Current copies of the document and forms should be downloaded from the PCA website (member log-in required) for use at events that require them. All forms must be printed IN COLOR.
