What is a Road Rally?
A road rally is a competition wherein the object is to find the finish based on a series of route instructions. Rallies generally fall into two categories, Time/Speed/Distance (TSD) or Gimmick. A TSD rally requires the participants to follow a series of directions based on average speed over a specified distance, all the while attempting to find the correct route. Along the route are checkpoints. You are required to stop at each checkpoint at which your actual time of arrival will be compared with your calculated time. If you are early or late then penalty points are awarded. The winner will be the car that actually finishes with the fewest total points.
The rally at the annual Vehicle Parade is a TSD rally. A more simplistic type of rally is the Gimmick type. Using the model adopted by the Allegheny Region PCA for most of our recent rallies, route instructions are provided along with a set of questions. The answers to the questions are found along the correct route. There is usually an "out of car experience" where participants are required to seek information or items along the way. The route selected is always based on the entertainment value of the roads. The finish is usually at a local eating establishment where trophies are awarded. Allegheny Region PCA traditionally conducts a spring and an autumn rally |

What is a Tailgate Party?
Tailgating doesn't have to involve a grill, charcoal and a big cooler.
Tailgating is one of America's favorite pastimes, especially in the fall. Though they can be great fun, they can also be a lot of work. Packing, carrying, cooking, unpacking, setting up, re-packing and walking everything back to the car can be a pain and put a real damper on the festivities. If your real goal is just to spend some pre-game time with die-hard fans such as yourselves, pack light and take in the ambiance, instead of focusing on the perfect set up.
A tailgate party is an event that occurs when you can't get tickets to a sporting event, but still want to show your support and team spirit by throwing a huge outdoor shindig. In a tailgate party, each of the participants drives their car to a central location where they all watch the game on outdoor TVs or listen to the game on the radio, and cheer on their favorite team.
