Texas Region SCCA (www.texasscca.org) is affiliated with the Sports Car Club of America (www.scca.org). With over 50,000 members, and with Regions all over the US, the club offers car related activities in a broad range of automotive events.

A road rally is not a contest of speed or racing. The challenge is to ascertain a route that visits 12 or so pre-selected locations in the shortest distance. Then drive that route at legal speeds and get to the finish within an alloted time.

This is the second event in the 2015 Texas Region SCCA Championship RoadRally Series.  This event is sanctioned as a Regional Rally by SCCA, and counts for points in the National SCCA RoadRally Championship, under Sanction Number 2015-RG-41-02.
