Thanksgiving Along The Beach Rally
2025-11-08 09:00
This will be our last rally for the calendar year. We’ve had a Gimmick Rally and 2 TSD Rallies, so this one will be another Gimmick Rally. As the title implies, we will be headed to the Gulf shoreline, but the starting point is inland, so participants will see much of the scenery typical of Florida.
The Rally starts at Tampa Bay Downs in the outer parking lot at 11237 Race Track Road in Oldsmar. Red-vested marshals will be there starting at 09:00 AM to make sure every passenger in every car has signed the liability waiver. You can do that online when you sign up here, but if you have an extra observer in your car along with your navigator, we will have waivers available to sign at the Start. The Start/Finish Marshal will get ever car lined up, then around 09:30 AM, we’ll hold a Driver/Navigator (DRIV/NAV) Meeting. At the DRIV/NAV we will pass out Rally Route Instructions sheets and a sheet of abbreviations used during rallies. You will also receive a Panic Envelope that contains all the answers to the gimmick questions and the location of the terminus, so if you’re hopelessly lost, you can open the envelope and GPS to the finish. An unopened Panic Envelope must be shown to the Start/Finish Marshal to be elegible for a trophy.
Trophies will be awarded to the top 3 finishers and we’re working on collecting some door prizes for finishers. Choice of door prize will proceed in rank order until all prizes are awarded. Scores will be based on the number of correct answers to gimmick questions. Ties will be broken by mileage closest to the official mileage. If a tie still persists, the Rallymaster will determine the means for designating the winner.
N.B.–each car entered must have a team consisting of a driver and a navigator. Only the driver will pay the entry fee ($30). Navigators and Passengers register for free. When Navigators register, they will be asked to name their Driver as their Instructor. This helps us pair the people who are a team in the same car.

Friday is a “Solo’s Only Day” for all drivers qualified in Suncoast PCA’s White, Black or Pink run groups. With only 3 run groups for the day there will be a lot of track time for everyone.
