What’s This All About?We held the first New England 1OOO in 1993. Over the past 29 years, we’ve expanded to an array of ever-changing annual events...116 so far!

What? Each Vintage Rallies event is a 5-day, 1OOO-mile tour/rally for sports cars 1995 or earlier, or any Exotic.

Charity? Each event benefits different local charities— over $2,5OO,OOO so far!

Rally? Our events include easy Time-Speed-Distance stages on public roads, plus occasional closed-course Special Stages. You can take part in our rally, or simply

follow the route we’ve planned, enjoying the scenery, the roads, the ambience and your special car.

Where? Over some of the most beautiful and least-travelled roads in North America. All driving is on paved, two-lane roads...no highways, no big cities, no dirt nor gravel. Our roads range from glorious sweepers to tight switchbacks. There are no finer Grand Touring roads in the world! Who? You and a friendly group of enthusiasts we think of as our “Extended Family Group.” Each of our events is restricted to 5O cars...another reason to reserve your entry immediately!

Grand Hotels, Gourmet Meals! We stay only in the best hotels and resorts available, enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in the finest restaurants. You’re free to concentrate on your driving and having a great time. Our attention to detail is legendary. Everything is handled for you, from route books to carrying your luggage. Our events are all-inclusive: luxury hotel rooms, breakfast, lunch, dinner, wine and beer with dinner, snacks, experienced vintage car mechanics, everything! Your only added expenses are personal charges and gasoline for your car.

Gifts and Prizes! You won’t have to pay extra for prizes and clothing, and great gifts are included in your entry fee. Our mailing list is strictly confidential.

Special Services! Accompanying every Vintage Rallies event are trucks to pick up broken cars and experienced vintage car mechanics to get you quickly back on the road. We even supply a complimentary sports car for you to drive during the rest of the rally if your own vintage car declines to proceed as planned.

Paperwork! Drivers must have a valid U.S. or foreign driver’s license. Cars must be insured and regis-tered for use on public roads. We don’t drive our rally cars at night.

Whether you’re comparing strategy at a Checkpoint or the day’s adventures at dinner—or simply sharing an after-dinner drink with other guests—there are lots of opportunities to make new and lasting friendships. One of our unique Vintage Rallies will become your favorite week of the year!

Sunshine. Fresh Air. Twisty Roads! We think the best way to put COVID-19 behind us is a mix of sunshine, fresh air and driving a vintage sports car on a scenic mountain road. In October of 2O2O, we successfully held our Mountain Mille rally with 8O people...social distancing, sanitizing hands and wearing masks when appropriate. No-body got sick and we all had a great time!

We expect that by April 11-16, 2O21 for Texas Bluebonnets , May 16-21, 2O21 for New England 1OOO and October 3-8, 2O21 for Mountain Mille that the virus pandemic will be just a bad memory. If it is still a concern, we’ll continue to follow all safety procedures, including daily temperature checks, KN95 masks and hand sanitizer for everyone. On all our rallies, hotels and restaurants are high-end private resorts that exceed all safety guidelines and are open only to registered guests.

Many couples plan their schedule around our rallies, relishing our unique combination of fun-filled days, private collections, museums, luxury resorts, superb meals, fabulous scenery, challenging roads, fascinating people and the chance to spend five days making new friends while enjoying their special car. Please join us!
