A new event on our calendar is the ONTO Fall Rally, the fourth in the 2012 Texas Region Rally Championship Series. Starting and ending in McKinney, we will explore the twisty back country paved roads to the North and East. If you liked “Clear Blue Sky,” you will love “ONTO Fall”. There will be a few course following problems to keep you on your toes and some fun clues for the questions you will answer along the way.

• Rally Day: Saturday, September 29
• Starting Place: Spring Creek Barbeque, 1993 North Central Expressway (NW corner with Highway 380) McKinney, TX 75070
• Registration/Check-In: 8:30 – 9:15 am on Rally Day
• Safety Briefing: 9:20 am / Rally School: 9:25 – 9:50 am (we have the whole restaurant)
• Starting Time, First Car: 10:00 am plus your car number
• Finish Time, First Car: 2:00 pm, estimated
• Preregistration is at MotorsportReg.com : Online registration management tools for driving and social events (Direct: www.tinyurl.com/OFR12msr )
• Awards: First Timers, Novices and General Class

If course-following is a mystery to you, we’ll explain in the General Instructions we will send you when you pre-register, and at the pre-rally school. Come and find out what all the fun is about!

We had 3 Hondas in the last rally: one Fit and two S2000s.

Join us!

 

Never done something like this before. Are co-pilots required, recommended, optional, unnecessary, or forbidden?

Edit: Never mind. Found my answer on http://www.texasscca.org/rallytime.

 

Good. Now in case anyone else was wondering....

We require at least two people who can read in each rally car. Two is what we prefer, but more is OK.

When you preregister on MotorsportReg.com, you will find that requirement listed in the fine print.

 

We now have one FIT entered in the ONTO Fall Rally! And 2 other cars of some kind or another....

 

Sorry... I'll be up on the GOOD roads in Arkansas that weekend..... on one of my motorcycles

 

I'd love to, but perhaps the next one. I'll most likely be in Oklahoma that weekend.

 

this sounds fun. I will have to check my availability

 

There are ten cars signed up for the ONTO Fall Rally on the 29th. My guess is 25 cars will run the event on fun Collin County roads. The check runs went well, and the course got kudos from the checkers.

One Fit has entered. Just one?

This is event number four out of six for the series this year. Next is the Great Pumpkin Rally to Paris, a rally known for easy course following but hard questions. Mark October 27 on your calendar. Then in December a rare Sunday rally, the Network Children's Book Run, our annual charity event. This is scheduled for the 2nd. All you Saturday workers don't have an excuse for this one.

Follow me on Twitter (@TXrally) to keep up with registration progress, and maybe a hint or two to help you out on rally day.

 

Now there are 23 cars registered, including 2 Hondas, a Fit and an S2000.

Of course, we run rain or shine.
