Another Metroplex road rally!

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 http://www.motorsportReg.com/ (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 have had a couple of Ferraris in our rallies in living memory, but it's been a while. And some of you have come in your "other" cars. These are good paved roads with pretty scenery...I know you will enjoy them.

Join us!

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.

No Ferraris yet. Why not?

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.

 

Boardwalk just scheduled their Fall Concorso for Saturday, Sept. 29.

 

I wouldn't say "just scheduled", rather , "just announced" ... < wink >

1 week before the event?

 

Boardwalk AG usually has their events schedule 9 to 12 months in advance.

I seem to have bad luck with Boardwalk schedules. I asked them if I could start my December 2 event at their new Lambo store, and they said they had an event already scheduled for that day, and they only want one promo event per day in the area. So maybe next year.

But surely not 100% of you go to the Concorso. If you are not going there, why not take a fun drive in the country with us?

 

Now there are 18 cars registered. You have 21 hours left to preregister.

 

Now there are 23 cars signed up. You have 45 minutes to pre-register.

 

Sasha is that you??

and we were going to bring the '11 9-5 AERO.. ;-)
