"Pre-Parade Primer" TSD Rally Spring will soon be upon us, and that means it's time to awaken your Porsche from hibernation and take to the roads! Be sure also to brush up on your navigation skills, because this spring's Pre-Parade Primer TSD Rally is just around the corner. What makes this season's rally so special? Unless you've been living in a cave, you already know that the 54th Porsche Parade will be held in Keystone this summer. Revised rules and scoring procedures will be in effect for the Parade Rally, and we'll be using those same rules for conducting and scoring this rally. That makes the Pre-Parade Primer Rally the perfect chance to practice the procedures in your Porsche! When Parade rolls around, you'll already be an old pro. Along with various prizes, this Time-Speed-Distance rally offers the opportunity to score up to 9 points in your Challenge Series class. This is only the third Challenge Series event of the year, so don't miss your chance to get an early leg up on the competition! 10 April 2009 Sunday, April 11, 2009 Article By : Jeremy Rosenberger and Andy Forberg Rally Master : Lee Sammons Not familiar with the TSD rally? Not to worry. A Time- Speed-Distance rally is not a race; rather, the challenge lies in attempting to navigate a course of public roads in an exact amount of time--no more, no less. The course, and thus the "ideal" time, are not known to the participants in advance; the fun is in trying to stay on course (and on time) while following the instructions provided just before the start. But that's not all--the instructions may be written in such a way as to keep drivers and navigators on their toes. (We promise not to trick you. Much.) Everything you need to know is on the RMR Web site at http://www.rmrporscheclub.com/ (pick "Info" in the menu and look for the Rally Instructions and Rally General Rules). Make sure to review the rules before the rally! If you're not inclined to participate in the competition, you can still join in the fun by volunteering to work at a checkpoint or at registration. Again, if you plan to participate in the Parade Rally as a competitor or volunteer, this will be good practice. And, of course, volunteers earn a Challenge Series point! The fun will begin at Rosie's Diner in Monument, CO. The Diner is at 411 Highway 105, just off exit 161 on the west side of I-25. Rosie's serves up a great breakfast, so be sure to come early. Registration opens at 8:00 AM; the drivers meeting will take place at 8:30 and we'll send the first car off at 9:01. Although the final destination is a secret, we'll be there by lunch time. (And if you get truly off course along the way, your bailout packet will indicate the rendezvous point, so don't worry!) Pre-registration via MotorsportReg.com is encouraged (registration links can be found on the RMR Web site, or you can go to www.motorsportreg.com directly). Pre-registration is $40 per car (keep in mind that you'll need exactly two participants per car, n ot counting children under 12). Or you can register on the day of the rally for $45 (cash or check only in this case). While you may enter any kind of car in the rally, Porsches are definitely encouraged! For more information, please contact one of the event chairs: Jeremy Rosenberger (jlr4@cornell.edu, 303.478.5385) or Andy Forberg (daforberg@msn.com). And while we still have your attention, we'd like to thank our Rallymaster, Lee Sammons. See you at the rally! rmrporschenews

You are invited to come join your fellow RMR, AMR and National club friends to share an evening of hors d’ oeuvres, libations and camaraderie. The evening will be very informal starting at 6:30 and ending when you can’t take anymore bench racing, concours bragging and rally boasting!
