  • Welcome to the Club Rally

    May 17, 2026  11:00 am - 2:00 pm
    438 W Mill Rd, Long Valley, NJ 07853, USA

    An introduction to Time-Speed-Distance rallies. Just in time for those that plan to attend the 2026 Porsche Parade in Lake Placid, NY. An annual charity fund raiser. The event will be free to any member who has purchased a Gold Ticket this year (tickets will be on sale at the start of the rally if you have not already gotten one). For those who opt not to purchase a Gold Ticket, the entry fee will be $35. Of course, you can do both— all funds collected will go to IronMatt. Onsite Registration: 11AM First car off: 12:30PM Start Location: Precision Motorsports, 438 West Mill Rd, Long Valley, NJ. Ending Location: PH Steakhouse, 111 Main St, Chester, NJ. Will include light snacks at the start but lunch will be on your own at the end.

    Some helpful hints for our events:

    §  Always come out with an open mind, and be prepared to have fun and enjoy the scenic back roads

    §  Come with a full tank of gas, while our events are normally less than 60 miles long, sometimes people are known to go a little further, if they make a wrong turn. Remember we do give out an award for Dead Last But Finished.

    §  While looking for the correct answers to our questions on the Gimmick Rallies, can be tricky at times, neverturn around to backtrack to look for them. While you will gain 25 points for each missed answer (low score wins), adding extra miles to the distance traveled on the event will more than off-set, the points you save by getting the answer to the question correct, because we add 100 points for each mile over or under the official route.

    May 24, 2026
    Pocono Raceway, 1234 Long Pond Rd, Long Pond, PA 18334, USA

    Autocross is, hands-down, the cheapest, safest, least time-consuming way for you to learn basic performance driving, push your car, and push your skills.

    It’s fun, informal, safe and the crowd is welcoming. And if you have family members or friends, who are – horrors – Porsche-less, bring them in (more or less) whatever they have – it's all good. Need a helmet? We have loaners. Need coaching? We have instructors. Have a need for speed? We have the cure. Come on out and join us. If you have questions – reach out to any of the team.

    NNJR's autocross is different.  We hold all our events at one of the biggest, best facilities in the country: Pocono Raceway. No tight parking lot for us.

    It is racing, but you need not compete.  It is fast, but you need not go faster than you car comfortable.  No special preparation required.  No pre-tech required.

    If you want even more information reach out to autocross@nnjr-pca.com and/or watch for our "introduction to Autocross" interactive webinar early this spring.
