DFW Map Rally

 

THE DFW MAP RALLY IS BACK!

The Texas Region of the Sports Car Club of America invites you to a fun drive in the country in Collin County, Texas. We give you a map and a list of questions to be answered by visiting specific locations on the map. With this year’s theme, locations to be visited are churches, farms and ranches. You determine your route, go to each location, and answer a question that verifies you have been there. The team who visits all the required landmarks in the shortest distance will win, and the winners will receive awards. Speed is not a factor.

• Rally Day: Saturday, August 24, 2019
• Registration and Starting Place: Clay Cooley Volkswagen of Richardson, 300 N. Central Expy, Richardson, TX 75080. 
• Registration opens at 10:00am on Rally Day and will close at 10:30 am (time may be adjusted)
• After registration, you will receive your instructions for conducting an odometer calibration run (in order to normalize all of the entrants’ odometers)
• The odo check ends at Crow's Country Cafe, 113 W. 4th Street, Anna, Texas.  Here you will receive your maps with the 15 or so locations that you have to visit.
• Take 30 minutes to determine your route from map(s) provided.  No GPS/electronic aids permitted here.
• Route: You choose your route from maps provided.  You may use any public road you wish in your attempt to log the shortest distance on your odometer.  Depending on your chosen route, you may encounter stretches of unpaved road, though we think that the shortest-distance route will be all paved
• Cars leave the official start whenever you are ready, in any order (but at 1minute intervals). First car out could be as early as 11:15am. You must check in at the control in front of the restaurant, to have your time and mileage recorded.
• Length: as short as you can make it in miles, probably about 3½ hours in time
• Finish: back to Crow's Country Cafe, 113 W. 4th Street, Anna, Texas.
• Rally type: Shortest distance rally. SCCA calls this a GTA (Games, Tours, Adventures) rally.
