Spaghetti Western Rally
Spring is road rally time, and we are ready to go with our first offering of the year.
A country drive from Grapevine to Nocona should get those juices flowing. There will be bluebonnets, but it will be a fun getaway from city traffic in any case. You might ask what a city named after an Indian chief and famous for cowboy boots has to do with pasta? Well, if you sign up you will find out.
The boots are gone, but now there is the Horton Classic Car Museum for you car buffs. See www.hortonclassiccarmuseum.com for a preview ($8 per person fee). And we couldn’t find a restaurant big enough for all of us in Nocona, so we will give you about an hour and a half to do lunch on your own (a restaurant list will be provided) and visit the car museum if you like. Then we will all gather at the Tales 'n' Trails Museum (western memorabilia) at a given time for the awards ceremony.
The event is Saturday, April 25. To register, go to msreg.com/SWR15msr .
Classic Chevrolet (the start location in Grapevine) will pay the entry fee for the first five Chevrolets to enter online.
Our 2015 rally schedule looks like this:
25 APR Spaghetti Western Rally
30 MAY DFW Map Rally
11 JUL Clear Blue Sky Rally
15 AUG tba
19 SEP Tour To The Tombstones
24 OCT Great Pumpkin Rally
05 DEC Children's Book Run
Any street-legal car with two or more people old enough to read can enter. No special car prep is necessary. Just bring a clip board and a pencil, and you are ready to go. There is a First Timer's class, in case you have never done this before. You will drive about 90 miles to Nocona following a certain route, finding various signs and landmarks along the way. The cars that follow the rules and find the most answers will take home trophies.
Any three+ cars can form a team, and the winning team will be announced at the awards ceremony. Why not "Team VW"?
