TX: ONTO Fall National GTA RoadRally

Join us this Fall to help us celebrate 70 years of the Texas Region SCCA with a fun-packed weekend of National-level RoadRally on North Texas country roads.

Here’s what Rick Beattie wrote about the 2019 ONTO Fall National GTA Rally: “The General Instructions described many things like numbered route instruction, main road determinants, and course following rules that made it more of an untimed National Course Rally.” Winner Bruce Gezon described it as “really hard, but nevertheless the best Course Rally he had run that year.” Jerry White described the traps as “just plain fun.” Rallymaster Witt will send you the Generals, RI’s, and detailed descriptions of the traps and loops from the 2019 GTA if you email her at lizwitt@yahoo.com.

We’re going to do it again with a course-following GTA and a Course Rally. On some of the best rally roads around, mainly in Collin County. And Texas is usually beautiful in October.

ONTO Fall National Course Rally: Saturday will be a 180-mile course-following rally through the countryside on rural Texas’ beautiful, paved roads. And with a grand tour of the town of Farmersville, home of Audie Murphy. Designed for the experienced rallyist, it will have variable Main Road Rule priorities, and both numbered and lettered Route Instructions. Additionally, some of the numbered instructions will have a choice of actions. Speeds will be moderate with the generous use of Free Zones. The Richta app will time you.

ONTO Fall National GTA Rally: The Saturday GTA Rally is also course-following and has many of the same traps as the Course Rally. But it has no lettered instructions, so many of the traps are implemented differently. You will be scored by your answers to questions designed to determine if you followed the correct course and/or applied the rules correctly.

Pre-registration on MSReg.com is recommended – registration opens July 1^st. Click here for registration. You can enter either the Course or the GTA event on Saturday. If you’re running a Saturday event and the Sunday event, you must register for each separately.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, every attempt will be made to minimize the risks of exposure to the virus. New processes and procedures have been developed and will be put into place to support this objective. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risk to you and to make the decision on whether or not to participate.
