The 2019 Food Drive (Charity Road Rally)

Green Lane Park

About this event

Everyone fees great about giving during the holidays, but what happens when we get into the depths of winter after the New Year?  It's cold, it's dark, but people are still hungry.  Let's break out some cars and drive for a good cause.  

This charity road rally will take you through some amazing back roads in Montgomery and Berks Counties to help you scratch that driving itch that builds up during the offseason.  Your entry fee will be 10 donation-appropriate food items.

This year's beneficiary will be the Bucks County Housing Group.

Most Needed Items & Collection Ideas

FOOD BANK DONATIONS NEEDED:

  • Protein: Canned meats such as tuna, chicken, and salmon. Beans, canned or dried. Split peas and lentils. Peanut butter.

Exceeding the 10 item registration minimum will benefit your score!

This will be a GTA style rally using our usual general instructions

Registration will open at 9:45 AM, with drivers’ meeting at 10:45 a.m., and the first car will be off at approx. 11:00 AM. 

We'll be wrapping things up in the Collegeville area for lunch and awards.  The first cars should get to the end point around 2:00PM, give or take a half hour.  We will offer novice and experienced classes as usual.  If you've done more than 2 Philly SCCA region rallies in the last 3 years you should consider the experienced class.

Please note that this rally will contain some unpaved surfaces.  There should be no significant issues with ground clearance or road damage.  You may want to leave your LaFerrari at home for this event but those of you in lowered vehicles should be fine.
