The first RoadRally in the 2008 SCCA Championship RoadRally Series will be held May 3rd.

The Rally to the Race will begin at Subaru of Plano, and end at Texas Motor Speedway for the SCCA Sunburn Grand Prix roadraces.

This year's course is a little longer and a little faster, with more rural roads that you will enjoy driving.

You can pre-register (and save $5) at http://www.dlbracing.com/clubs/texas...x?EventID=3295

The new flyer is up on http://www.texasscca.org/rttr8flyer1.pdf. For those of you who ran last year, much remains the same: start place, start time, teams....what has changed is a new route heading straight north out into the country, with more fun roads than the past few years.

If three of you enter, we can have a "Team RX8" competing for the Team Trophy.

Keep tuned for other rallies in our series...including 3 sponsored rallies!

I may be going, anyone want to team up with me?

 

That sounds like a lot of fun!

 

Is there anyway to do it without paying?

 

I'd be willing to do it...

 

oh man.. i am driving up to dallas to do this!! ****!

 

Without paying? Well, sort of. I need a check run done by a novice, before the day of the rally. You will need 2 people, and about 3 hours of daylight. Meet me at the Subie dealer on W. Plano Parkway at an agreed time, and you can run the rally. Spend a few minutes at the end telling me how you did. You don't get the thrill of competition, but you do get to run the same event everyone else does. Email me at rally@texasscca.org.

Sounds awesome, new girl needs to get broke in.

 

So how many people are wanting to do this thing? I'm definitely down. This is the kind of rally where the directions you get are landmark and time based right? Not street names. i.e. Go 5 minutes down this road and turn left at pile of shark teeth... If so you can count me in.

 

No, it's street names, or "Right at Stop", or "Left at third opportunity," etc. You have a time limit, but it's generous. There are some fun rural roads to enjoy, and some puzzles to solve. Enjoy!

last year at my 1st roadrally event, Angela and I finished 1st in the noobs. it was a lot of fun. i might have to come out agian

 

Anyone want to compile a list of people that will do it?

 

I say we defend our title, this time with A/C, you in? If you say no I will photoshop someone else's pic over your face in our first place pic from last year-don't test me! Haha!

 

It would be cool to rep the 8.. Maybe even have 2 teams. Guess we can discuss it at the next meet. Can probably do this run and still all meet for the RX7/8 meet that night.

 

I am down to do this.....yeah if you guys want to talk about it this coming tuesday at Flips we can get this thing rollin.

 

ok ok well im down...so i'm open to partner up with someone..just email me hayatogt@aol.com

 

Sounds like we have enough for a team:

Hayato
Seatownracer
xsnipersgox (maybe)
arlingtonrx8(maybe)
Lord et

 

ok so tell me what i need to do then..

 

First thing that would need to happen is establishing if you have a person riding with you already, girlfriend/wife boyfriend/husband, friend, etc. or if you need someone to ride with you. Someone here might be looking to ride, but not drive (why you wouldn't want to drive is beyond me)

Then you need to click that link at the top and register. Once you are registered with DLBRacing you will be asked for your team name, car information, driver information and navigator information. After that's entered you just have to pay. (paypal, mail check, pay at start are the options for payment)

So i guess we need to decide on a team name

 

Any of you going to the flips meet tomorrow night? we can go over who is going to participate and do what. By doing this we all can be on the same page on what is happening.

 

I'll try to be there

 

I am going to try to make the meeting at Flips, in case you have any questions about the rally. If you know of anyone who is undecided about running the event, encourage them to be there, and I will twist their arm.

Where exactly is Flips Patio & Grill, 415 W Hwy. 114, Grapevine Tx 76051? Which exit from 114 coming from Dallas?

Coming from Dallas you will see the restaurant #1 on that map on your left. After you see it look for an exit. You'll have to do a turnaround and stay on the access road to get there. You cross under 121 and it's on your right.

 

Yeah should be a good meet, I will be getting there around 7:30 to make sure we get enough tables.

 

ok i'll be there to discuss to rally
