[DFW] The Open Road Adventure Rally - don't miss this one!
The September 18 Open Road Adventure Rally will run partly on the historic BANKHEAD HIGHWAY, an early transcontinental road built in the teens and 20’s, yes, even before Route 66. It ran from Washington, DC to and San Diego. It was part of the National Auto Trail system and now the Texas Historic Highway is part of the new state Historic Roads and Highways Program. The BANKHEAD had a Southern route through Texas, and believe it or not, there are parts of the Road left in drivable condition around Weatherford. If you’ve ever run Route 66 or just dreamed of it, here’s your chance to run an even older Americana Highway. See historic Courthouses, 80 year old bridges, and early century gas stations on The BANKHEAD, with the fun of an Auto Rally. Rally themes include; Mountains, Ranches, Sheriffs, & The BANKHEAD.
There was one RX7 among the 44 entrants in our rally last month. They came in 17th in the First-Timer Class.

Rallymaster Bob Harris just sent me this email:
WOW ... Adam and I have just come back from finalizing The OPEN ROAD ADVENTURE Rally with Liz! You should see the roads that we've picked out. The mountain Vistas around Mineral Wells and Weatherford are amazing. Anyone who hasn't driven this corner of the world will be truly impressed at the beauty of it all. Combine this with the competitive Rally component that Adam and Liz have set out and it's going to be a challenging Rally; I'll bet we're talking about this one for years. I can't believe Liz is so creative in designing Rallies! Mountains, lakes, the historic 90 year old Bankhead Highway, Texas County Courthouses, windy swervy country roads, straight-aways ... this Rally has it all. It'll be a blast for anyone with a sports car or a family car.
Anyone with FaceBook can see the page we've created with some details of the ORA Rally. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=...9271087?ref=ts
I'll be surprised if this isn't the biggest Rally of the season for SCCA. Adam may even bring his DeLorean!
See you Saturday, September 18th. Bob
