Fun with Your Car
Join Us Oct. 10–11 for the Great River Road Tour and the Route 66 Ramble Regional TSD Road Rallies

Looking for some enjoyable driving time and a bit of adventure with your favorite wheels? Want to enjoy country roads, and perhaps even see a bit of fall color?

We—the St. Louis Region, SCCA—have a plan for you.

Join us Oct. 10–11 (Columbus Day weekend) for our Great River Road Tour (Saturday) and Route 66 Ramble (Sunday) Regional road rallies. Both are daylong motoring adventures (modest variety) and traditional SCCA time-speed-distance (TSD) road-rally events. Combined, they comprise the 2026 edition of our not-very-annual Regional Gateway Cup Challenge for road-rally teams. You are welcome to run both rallies or just one, as your inclination and time permit.

What will you need? The information is available in the link below, but here is our “executive summary.”
• A vehicle, a driver, and a navigator.
• A smartphone or tablet with the Richta GPS Competitor App installed. (This is the GPS rally app we use for classic TSD road rallies; it is available free at Google Play or Apple’s App Store.) A second smartphone or tablet for a GPS odometer app would be helpful also.
• A clipboard, pencils, and paper, etc., the usual kit for a navigator.
• An inclination to enjoy the day.

Both rallies are organized as simple SOP (seat-of-the-pants) events. No high-tech road-rally equipment is needed—or allowed.

Also, what you don’t need is a prepared rally car, i.e., rollbars, skid plates, or other off-road safety or competition equipment. Your everyday driver or beloved weekend cruiser with regular seatbelts, a working speedometer/odometer, and legal for regular road use will do just fine.

Our Regional Great River Road and Route 66 Ramble rallies share the weekend with the SCCA’s 31st United States Road Rally Challenge, which we are hosting for the fifth time. The Great River Road Tour explores the country roads that parallel the Mississippi and Illinois river valleys in Illinois, while the Route 66 Ramble explores, not only Historic 66, but also the country lanes that parallel the Mother Road in Illinois. It also helps commemorate the centenary of Route 66, as well as helping celebrate southwestern Illinois’ Great Rivers and Routes “Last 100 miles of Route 66 in Illinois” festival Oct. 10.

Our weekend headquarters: The Comfort Inn in Edwardsville, Ill., which is where the Sunday’s Route 66 Ramble begins. Saturday’s Great River Road Tour begins at the Melvin Price Locks and Dam 26 on the Mississippi River in Alton, Ill.

Want all the details? Click on this MotorsportReg.com link: https://msreg.com/USRRC2026 and scroll down to “The USRRC Gateway Challenge Cup.” Registration information is available on the page also, as well as other information about the weekend.

We hope to see you Oct. 10–11.

STL Region RoadRally Reminder: Register Now for Our Sept. 12 Event

September is upon us; so it’s time—high time—to register for the St. Louis Region’s next RoadRally Sept. 12: Continuing Education: Rally with the March Hare.

The start is familiar: Sunset Overlook on Bluff Road in Columbia, Ill. The finish is familiar; it’s the same as the start. And the rallymaster is familiar, Tom vonHatten, the author of, and rallymaster for, our 2024 summer Rally School series, hence the handle for this event.

Information? Click on the link below.

See you Sept. 12.

SCCA - St. Louis Region - Road Rally on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Sunset Overlook, Columbia, IL - The March Hare's 'Continuing Education' Rally 2026 Saturday, Sept. 12 Description: Join the March Hare for a fun afternoon of rallying over the country roads of the Metro East's Monroe County, Ill...

Although it’s been a quiet summer for the St. Louis Region when it comes to hosting road rallies, there’s been a lot of road-rally effort happening in the background. On Sept. 12, we have our first Regional road rally since May 30, and on Oct. 9–11, we host the 31st United States Road Rally Challenge (USRRC), with headquarters in Edwardsville, Ill.

This is the fifth time the St. Louis Region has volunteered to host the USRRC, an important part of the SCCA’s annual National Road Rally Championship since 1995. This year, as in 2018, the last time we hosted the USRRC, we have combined the three National USRRC rallies with a pair of daylong Regional road rallies that comprise (again) our USRRC Regional Gateway Cup Challenge. (Count ’em–that’s five rallies in all. Whew!)

For more information about the USRRC, click on the following story posted recently at scca.com:

Finally, also on our fall calendar, our now (mostly) annual November GTA (gimmick) road rally. This year it’s on the 22nd, and it’s named “Second Opportunity,” helmed again by the St. Louis Region’s Stan Lawson.

Oct. 9–11: https://msreg.com/USRRC2026

More information about all these events will be available in the near future.
