Press-on-Regardless Rally explained

Press On Regardless (POR) is a road rally organized by the Detroit Region[1] of the Sports Car Club of America.

The Press On Regardless was first run in 1949 as a Time-Speed-Distance rally. In 1969, the POR became a stage rally. In 1972, the event was part of the International Championship for Manufacturers and then in 1973 and 1974 part of the World Rally Championship.

In 1994, the Detroit Region SCCA dropped out of the organization of the stage rally, and reorganized the Press On Regardless as a brisk TSD rally. The Lake Superior Region SCCA[2] currently runs the Lake Superior Performance Rally[3] (LSPR) over many of the old POR roads in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. LSPR is part of the American Rally Association schedule.[4]

Press On Regardless is a registered trademark[5] of the Sports Car Club of America.
