On Saturday, September 15, 2012, the Palos Verdes Concours D’Elegance Pleasure Road Rallye will be taking place and this year it will be highlighting the history of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. It will start at the Rolling Hills Country Club with lunch and registration from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and participants will get a bit of history of the Peninsula. At 1:00 p.m. the actual “Pleasure Road Rallye” will begin with “Finding the Jewels.” This is a rallye game in which participants will be driving to some of the historical places located here on the Peninsula and rally points can be scored based on trivia. Some of these historic spots will include the Fort Mac Aurthur Military Base and Museum, the Malaga Cove Plaza and the Palos Verdes Golf Club. While the rest of the sites are a secret, stunning views will be enjoyed while winding through our Peninsula roads. You will be stopping at different historical locations and will finish at the Palos Verdes Golf Club in Palos Verdes Estates where a reception will be held honoring this year’s Grand Marshals Merle and Peter Mullin, who are classic auto collectors and restorers extraordinaire.
This is totally a pleasure rallye so all beginners and experienced rallye participants are encouraged to join in. There will be hot rods, classic cars and even the family car is welcome to join – driving and exploring for fun. The entry cost will include lunch and the Grand Marshal’s reception (which starts at 5:00 p.m and goes until 10:00 p.m.) with a hosted beer, wine & champagne reception. The entry cost of $190 includes both the driver and your navigator. Children under 12 ride for free. Any additional guests may travel with you enjoying both the lunch and reception for a price of $95.
For a full day of fun, which also includes the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop for prizes and the Grand Marshal’s reception, purchase your tickets at www.pvconcours.org under the Road Rally tab.
