About this event
High price of gas keeping you off the road? Heat got you down? But you love to rally in your car, and learn things about interesting places in
Run the 2009 TableTop Rally, brought to you by the rallymasters at Texas Region, SCCA, with the cooperation of Mapsco. You "rally" in the Roads of Texas atlas, entirely in the air-conditioned comfort of your own home. The tricks, traps, and challenges are much the same as in one of our driving rallies, without actually needing a car.
There will be no 'in-person' registration. You must register here at MotorsportReg.com. You may pay here by credit-card; you may pay by Pay Pal at pp-rally@texasscca.org; or you may send a check (to arrive before registration closes) to Registrar, 702 West Shore Drive, Richardson, TX 75080. The cost is only $15 for SCCA members, and $20 for non-members. Registration will be open for the entire month of July.
You must have a copy of the latest Mapsco Roads of Texas, which is the same book that we sent out last year for the 2008 TableTop Rally. It is identified as "ISBN-13: 978-1-56996-421-6" on the back cover, or as "Copyright 2005, 2008" on page 1. You can order one by calling Mapsco at 800-718-4627 (M-F during CDT business hours from July 6th through August 14th) and asking to speak to Tracie Castor, and mentioning the "TableTop Rally." The price is $15 post paid. DFW residents can go by any Mapsco store and purchase the same book at a further reduced rate, again by mentioning "TableTop Rally."
On August 1 we will email out the General Instructions, the Route Instructions, and the sheet (file) to use to submit your answers. Your answers must be returned, postmarked by August 31, or time-stamped August 31 if delivered electronically. Mail to Rally,
