RoadRally

Welcome to the St. Louis Region’s RoadRally page. Here you will find recent news and schedules as well as other information.

In many ways, road-rallying is the original form of organized motorsports competition. Today, it is conducted on roads open to the public (unlike today’s stage rallying) and under normal rules of the road.

About Tom Lehrer: Tom Lehrer (1928–2025) was an American singer/songwriter, satirist, and professor of mathematics and musical theatre. His work as a musician was primarily in the 1950s and 60s, commonly featuring dark, political or otherwise unexpected comedic lyrics set to a catchy tune. Lehrer’s most known song is perhaps 1959’s “The Elements,” which features all 102 then-known periodic elements set to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Major-General’s Song” from The Pirates of Penzance. Lehrer released all his works into the public domain in 2022. You can explore his full body of work, including lyrics and recordings available for free download, at https://tomlehrersongs.com.

About RoadRally

The St. Louis Region maintains a regular schedule of local RoadRally events and from time to time offers also Divisional and National weekends that attract SCCA rally teams from around the country. Our “legacy” event is the Daniel Boone National Rally, which has been part of the Region’s portfolio since the late 1950s. Since 1998, we have four times hosted the United States RoadRally Challenge, the premier event on SCCA RoadRally’s annual National Championship calendar.

Rally School 2024

On the Region level, this year we are hosting a five-event Rally School series. Designed to impart the basics of road-rallying to a new generation—or to refresh your skills if you’re familiar with the sport, each event will focus on a specific aspect of road-rallying and help you gain a better understanding of the sport.

Each rally will begin and end at Sunset Overlook on Bluff Road in Columbia, Ill. (www.sunsetoverlook.com). Expect a mid-afternoon check-in, a rally school with a Q&A, and a 4 p.m. start. Each rally will run approximately two hours.
