About this event
TOUR TO THE TOMBSTONES RALLY
You’re invited to join us for the next Texas Region SCCA Road Rally on September 20th. We will tour Rockwall, Hunt, and Collin Counties, and visit a number of cemeteries, many of them designated historic. Course following will be easy. All roads are paved, except short sections leading to cemeteries.
Rally Day is Saturday, September 20, 2014. Registration opens at 9:00am at Rockwall Dodge, at 970 E. I-30, Rockwall, TX 75087, phone 469-698-2100. First car out about 10:00. The finish will be at Spring Creek Barbecue in McKinney.
You will be directed to a number of area cemeteries. At each one you will record the name, and answer questions from signs or tombstones.
This is an SCCA GTA (Games, Tours, Adventures) rally. This is not a timed event, except that you do have an overall amount of time to finish the event. This time will be generous so there will be no reason to speed. Any kind of street-legal four-wheel vehicle with at least two people who can read in the car may enter.
The Rally Fee is $20.00 for SCCA Members, and $25.00 for non-members. There is a $5.00 late fee if not preregistered here. There are four classes: First Timer, Novice (<3 rally trophies), General, and Master. The Rallymaster is Liz Witt.
You will want to do online registration (here at MotorsportReg.com) because then you will be mailed the rally rules a few days before the event.
