About this event
It’s back on and even better! We’ve rescheduled the Back-to-Basics Rally #4 and its preceding Rally School, to better accommodate our rallyists’ plans and schedules.
For those who signed up for the original June 5th date, you are already registered for this school, so all you need to do is review your registration and update it only if there are any changes. Please notify us if you still plan to attend, so we can be sure to send out the Zoom session invite and any school materials.

The Texas Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) is conducting a series of road rallies and schools designed to introduce rallying to newcomers as well as to refresh and reinforce key concepts for our more experienced rallyists. This “Back-to-Basics” (B2B) series consists of four events of progressive challenge level staged over several months. A virtual Rally School precedes each Rally. Attend one or all and build your road rally skills! No prior rally experience or SCCA membership is necessary.
If you signed up, are planning to sign up, or are undecided but considering signing up, for the The Main Road Goes Where? Rally (rescheduled for July 23), the fourth of the B2B series, then we invite you to a short Rally School. This virtual school will introduce the rally types and discuss the rules and instructions for the upcoming Rally. It will cover Route Instructions, General Instructions, terminology and conventions (including Main Road Determinant concepts and rules), questions used for scoring, and rally procedures for GTA (Games, Tours, Adventures) type rallies. It will also provide guidance on how to set up the Richta Competitor GPS app, which we will use for this rally. Liz Witt, Rallymaster for the The Main Road Goes Where? Rally will be your instructor.
Rally School Day is Sunday, July 17th. The “classroom” instruction will be conducted via Zoom session. Class begins at 1:00 pm and should run for about an hour and a half, including time for Q&A. For those who can’t join the live session, we will post a YouTube video recording of the session and will share information on how to access it after the Rally School.
There is no charge for this event. You must preregister on MotorsportReg.com. To pre-register, page down and click on “Continue.” . Registration is per individual, not per team/car. To keep track of who attended and any follow-ups, please register each individual attendee separately, if possible.
Note: if you plan to register for the The Main Road Goes Where? Rally (http://msreg.com/B2B22-4msr ), we strongly urge you to do so early and in time to also attend this Rally School and/or view the recorded session.
Note: completion of the first three rallies and rally schools of the Back-to-Back Series is not a pre-requisite to signing up for this event. However, they can provide useful experience to build on. If you wish to attend the Rally School for Rally#1 (Did you SEE that?), the Rally School for Rally#2 (What was that?) or the Rally School for Rally#3 (What was first?) you can view YouTube video recordings of the Zoom sessions at https://youtu.be/2KExdKIMcrQ , https://youtu.be/X_1yoeHbheI and https://youtu.be/SsLWgecPlc8 respectively. And if you would like to run the Rally#1 (Did you SEE that?), Rally #2 (What was that?) or Rally#3 (What was first?) themselves, contact rally@texasscca.org to obtain a full package of rally materials that will allow you to run either one or both rallies on your own.
