It's the Great Pumpkin Rally, Charlie Brown! 10/25/14

The Great Pumpkin Rally

Are you ready for a Halloween sign hunt? How about some east Texas scenery? And we have lots of puns for your enjoyment! No special car needed. Just a full tank of gas, pencil and a sense of humor. Course–following will be easy. All roads are paved.

+ Registration & Start – Sachse Chamber of Commerce/Parks & Recreation Building 5560 Hwy 78, Sachse TX 75048
+ Registration opens at 9:00 am
+ Safety Briefing 10:00 am
+ First Car out 10:31am
+ Ending – Downtown Paris for the Festival of Pumpkins (arts, crafts, antiques, food vendors, and other stuff!)
+ Register at msreg.com/GPR14msr

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. There will be no reason to speed. Any kind of street-legal four-wheel vehicle with at least two people in the car who can read may enter.

Out of the 33 entries we had four Miatas enter our last rally. The best of them came in fourth overall, and first in Novice class.

Join us!

Was I too boneheaded to see that in the title, or was that an edit?

I'm trying to strongarm one of my friend to go. They have all enjoyed TSD and gimmick events in the past, but being on one of the Halloween party weekends might make it hard.

You caught me. It was an edit.

Enjoyed TSD? Where? If I thought there were some potential TSD entrants in the metroplex, I might make more effort to put one on.

But come enjoy our gimmicks. We have put on 5, and will do 2 more this year. Stay tuned.

Umm, did a couple in 1998, and some between 2004-2007. Also did a few navigation events between 2004-2010.

It's only a week until the Great Pumpkin Rally. Preregistration closes on Friday at 6pm. Don't miss this cool drive in the country, ending at a real country town shindig, the Paris Festival of Pumpkins. Gasoline prices and high afternoon temperatures are both going down: a perfect time for a drive. The magic word is msreg.com/GPR14msr.

One Mazda has entered already.

Breaking news (Tues 11pm): three Mazdas have entered (1 a Miata).
