The Children's Book Run

This “Back to School” edition of our annual charity rally to benefit the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children will help a child have a happier time while in the hospital, and give you a fun drive in the country. Course following will be easy, but going back to school will be tough. Be sure you know your colors and shapes, dust off your 3rd grade arithmetic, and review the alphabet, and you will be prepared.

Twelve cars have entered the Children's Book Run as of this evening. That makes me expect nearly 30 by rally day. Cars include a BMW Z3 M Roadster, a Honda S2000 roadster, a Thunderbird, a WRX, a Mazda CX-7, oh yes, also an F150 pickup! The rally "classrooms" are ready for you, as is the Mellow Mushroom awards ceremony location...I think you will like this restaurant. I have been testing it out since they agreed to host us, and it's a neat place. The upstairs room is plenty big, and has its own bar. Ten-day forecast says Saturday will be 69 degrees warm: how's that for December? Just go to msreg.com/CBR14dec and join us!

Breaking news: I was just notified that one of our regular entrants will receive the second place trophy in Sportsman class for the 2014 SCCA National Rally Championship. By the way, he drove a Mazda to this win.
