About this event

 

July 31–Aug. 2, 2015

Gateway Double-National RoadRally Weekend

Trust Me (Course and Tour)

Scenic Byways (Course and Tour)

Please join us!

Our Objective:

To provide you, the competitor, with a national weekend that will offer two days of enjoyable sports-car roads and scenery in the Illinois portion of the St. Louis metropolitan region. We will run our rallies in accordance with the SCCA’s RoadRally Rules, 2015 Edition, (available online in the rally section at scca.org) as amended by our General Instructions for the weekend.

Rallymaster Ron Ferris has designed each rally so that it may be run as a Course event or a Touring (Tour) event. You will select which version you wish to run. Ron’s third edition of Trust Me and his second edition of Scenic Byways will incorporate the rural roads and country lanes of Macoupin, Madison, and Bond counties in southwestern Illinois, just across the river from the Gateway Arch. On both days we will employ open controls as well as occasional DIYC controls. Mostly, assigned average speeds will be moderate.

Headquarters:

The Doubletree by Hilton Collinsville–St. Louis. Conveniently located at the intersection of Interstate 55/70 and Illinois 157, our rally HQ is just minutes from the Gateway Arch and, via Interstate 70 and our new Stan Musial Memorial Bridge over the Mississippi River, about 30 minutes from Lambert St. Louis International Airport. We believe you will enjoy our headquarters and the many activities and restaurants available nearby.
