Rally North America is a scavenger hunt style (automotive) multi-state road rally event founded in 2009. The Rally North America events have raised over $1,000,000 for charity since its inception in 2009
RNA (Rally North America) was established in 2009 by a group of fans that couldn't attend a different automotive rally. Rally North America is a group of around 80 or more road rally teams that gather together at least once a year to raise money for a selected charity. Each year the group picks another charity to support, while enjoying each other's company on America's vast road system. Along the way the group finds spots or Check points and takes pictures of themselves in front of whatever the check-point as proof they had stopped at that location. Awards are given to the teams that best complete or meet the qualifications of the award.
The Goal of any Rally North America event is to raise money for a deserving charity. All money raised by the rally teams goes to that years charity nothing is ever kept by the teams. The event has grown to a level that new teams can only join the RNA if a slot opens up, many of the teams return year after year to help raise money and enjoy the trips.
The event was founded by Scott "Thunder Goat" Spielman and Tony "Danger Stang" Intrieri.[1]

The Concept
editRally North America is a charity based Road rally that sends teams out on a scavenger hunt to find key points along a secret route that only the organizers know. The teams must navigate with in safe highway speeds to these checkpoints and place themselves in front of the attraction and take a photo as proof they were there. The teams that arrive first safely without any traffic violations and have the proof of all the checkpoints will place in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd for the day. Those teams that place are no longer in the running to win another navigational award, but can still have a chance at winning one of the category awards.
The teams are lined up each day by the amount of money they raised for the charity. Those with the highest amount raised for the years charity will start first, or will be on the "Pole Position" In honor of their team's efforts for the cause.
