Designed to reintroduce the sport, Sunday Drive #1 is a fun tour of about 40 miles over country roads that takes participants from a start at the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville, Ill., to Schlafly’s Highland Square pub/restaurant in Highland, Ill. (Located on Highland’s historic—and charming—town square, Schlafly’s Highland Square is the newest of the St. Louis brewing company’s eating and drinking establishments.) Also having its starting point in Collinsville, the Region’s 2022 Gateway National RoadRally Weekend will offer Regional and National teams three distinct championship road rallies: the Tulips by Night Divisional Touring Rally Sept. 2, the Kaskaskia Trails National Touring Rally Sept. 3, and The Avenue of the Saints Divisional GTA Rally Sept. 4. All three are part of the SCCA’s 2022 National RoadRally Championship Series.

June 20, 2018 June 20, 2018 2018 Targa Gateway Divisional Event 27-29 July, 2018 Targa Gateway, a multi-discipline event including three Divisional Road Rallys, a run what you brung” Bracket” drag race, and a three-lap EnduroCross Tulips Under the Sturgeon Moon (Tour) Land Between the Waters Monte Carlo (Tour) The Hunt for USRRC Red October (GTA) Targa Gateway Bracket Race Targa Gateway Enduro Cross. Please join us! Our Objective: To provide you, the competitor, with an SCCA divisional RoadRally weekend that will offer three days of enjoyable sports-car rallying, roads, and scenery in the Illinois portion of the St. Louis metropolitan region with the added challenge of autocross and drag racing. We will run our rallies in accordance with the applicable divisional requirements in the SCCA’s RoadRally Rules, 2018 Edition (available online in the rally section at scca.org), as amended by our General Instructions for the weekend. Rally masters Jim Lynch with much assistance from Ron Ferris and Jim Heine has designed each rally with the beginning/occasional rally team in mind. Friday evening will be a new addition of Jim Heine’s Tulips at Night. Saturday’s rally will be the first rally designed by Jim Lynch and will incorporate parts of Jim and Ron’s Tulips and other Flowers first run twenty years ago, with a couple of new twists. Sunday’s Hunt for USRRC Red October will be a fun Rally using some of the same roads as the upcoming USRRC in October. Throw in a Saturday evening drag race and a Sunday morning autocross all of which award points towards the Targa Championship. Tulips Under the Sturgeon Moon is a Monte-Carlo-style event with passage controls (offering we believe, a good introduction to rallying for rookie/novice teams), while The Land between the Waters will advance the introductory process one step by employing traditional open controls plus (perhaps) an occasional DIYC. Mostly, average speeds for the weekend will be moderate. To register, or for more information, visit http://msreg.com/2018targagateway.
