The Texas Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) invites you to a fun drive in the country in Denton County, Texas. All are welcome and no prior rally experience is required. We give you a map with several waypoints and you visit these specific locations on the map. With this year’s theme, locations to be visited are in Denton County horse country. Plot your thriftiest rural trail!

You determine your route and drive to each location, which will be verified by the Richta GPS smartphone app. The team who visits all the required landmarks in the shortest distance will win, and the winners will receive awards. A trail driver’s version of the traveling salesman problem! It is not a speed or racing contest. Scores are automatically reported to the Rallymaster. No score sheet to fill out. As we did last year, we will encourage all contestants to download and use a GPS-based odometer app, as a way to ensure consistency of mileage measurements across all entrants, instead of our usual pre-rally odometer calibration check. We will send you information on these apps and procedures for their use after you pre-register.

If you’re new to road rally and/or still deciding whether to sign up, we plan to conduct a brief Rally School via Zoom (August 9th) to help prepare for the rally (for details and to pre-register for the School, go to https://msreg.com/DMR26RSmsr). For those who can’t join the live session, we will post a YouTube video recording of the session.

On public roads, always at legal speeds, with plenty of entertainment for you and your team partner!

Registrants will be emailed the rally rules a few days before the event. We encourage entrants to pre-register at least a week in advance. It gives you time to prepare and us time to properly plan for awards and other car-count-dependent arrangements. The Rally Committee reserves the right to limit entries. To pre-register, page down and click on “Register Now”.
