Thread: Road Rally Invitation

  1. #1

    Default Road Rally Invitation

    Last year's spring road rally, the Spaghetti Western Rally was so popular, we thought we would repeat it.

    This time, instead of Nocona, our destination is Paris, Texas. Probably no bluebonnets yet, but still a fun country drive. We will end at the Lamar County Historical Museum, housed in an old restored Union Station depot. You can browse the museum while we prepare for the awards ceremony.

    The event is Saturday, March 26. To register, go to msreg.com/SWR16msr .

    We had a classic battle between Team Corvette and Team Mustang at our last event, with Team Mustang coming out on top. But first overall was a Mazda 3S GT, and a CX-7 took fifth overall. One Mazda is already entered in this rally.

    Any street-legal car with two or more people old enough to read can enter. No special car prep is necessary. Just bring a clip board and a pencil, and you are ready to go. There is a First Timer's class, in case you have never done this before. You will drive about 110 miles to Paris following a certain route, finding various signs and landmarks along the way. The cars that follow the rules and find the most answers will take home trophies.

    Our 2016 rally schedule looks like this:

    26 MAR Spaghetti Western Rally - Paris
    21 MAY Tulip Time Rally - Denton
    20 JUL Clear Blue Sky - McKinney
    08 OCT DFW Map Rally - Weatherford
    03 DEC Children's Book Run - Richardson


    Join us! We are still the biggest SCCA rally program in the nation, in terms of car count.

    Sasha, thank you for the invitation. I have some questions.

    Does one (or both) entrants per car have to be an SCCA member to participate? How much does it cost, and does the cost vary depending on whether you are an SCCA member or not? Is the fee per person, or per car?

    Why would you want to go to Paris? I have been there several times, passing through. There is nothing to see, nothing to do.

    Membership is not required. The fee is $25 per car, and if either occupant is a member, there is a $5 discount.

    We used to put on a performance rally at Camp Maxey just north of Paris every year. We got to like the town, especially the town square. When performance rally went away, we put on a gimmick rally for the Festival of Pumpkins every October, ending in the square. This year the rallymaster is moving (soon) to New Mexico, and he wanted to do one last rally for us, but he won't be here in October, and Paris won't move the Festival of Pumpkins to March! The museum is new, so we decided to end there. If it is disappointing, maybe we will go back to Dublin, Texas for Saint Patties day.

    Saturday looks great for a drive in the country: 73 degrees and mostly sunny. Mazda, Mustang, and Corvette are represented, of course, but even Lincoln, SAAB, and Plymouth will be there. The only make with enough cars to form a team at the moment is Mustang. Why not go to msreg.com/SWR16msr and join us?
