The 2011 Rallye was an unbelievable success. We had 96 paid entries in our field. Thanks to all of you, that is six cars over our maximum. After the rallye, everyone was treated to a true feast at the Spaghetti Warehouse, thanks to General Manager Chris Beers and the staff.

History
Truly unique to our Rallye is that it’s open to the public – the first 90 driver/navigator teams to sign up get to run in a timed race through the streets and neighborhoods of Pittsburgh and its suburbs. Come have fun, get lost or maybe even join the parade!
What is the Rallye?
It's like a scavenger hunt on wheels. Your score is determined by how close you can follow directions and stay within posted speed limits and reach the fiinish line. You alos need to answer some trivia questions along the way. No experience is necessary, just have fun. For details contact Paul MacIntyre via email or phone at 412 673-0998 (home).
Rallyes, popular in Europe, are relatively little-known in American motorsports. A rallye master sets the course, which is designed to be completed at the posted speed limits. Then, a set of directions is drawn up for the participants. These directions can be simple or incredibly difficult clues. The key is to pass through all checkpoints on time – being late or early will penalize the driver a certain number of points. So, even of you speed, you still can lose. In true Grand Prix style, the finish line will hold a party and awards ceremony for the participants.
