TX: Let’s Meet at Waco Trek Rally

The Texas Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) invites all fellow car enthusiasts to this Trek rally down to Waco. A Trek is a non-competitive driving event on scenic country roads. No questions, puzzles, tricks or traps, or timed controls, just a fun (and stress-free) drive following a pre-determined route using a “convoy style” format. Rallymaster, John Poulos, will provide basic route instructions as a backup only. All are welcome, and no prior rally experience is necessary.

We start in Arlington, then the Let’s Meet at Waco Trek Rally will wind our way on twisty backroads to Waco, passing through Glen Rose, Meridian, and other points before ending at a restaurant in Waco, where we’ll enjoy a meal and camaraderie with fellow rallyists from the SCCA Lone Star Region (Austin-San Antonio). We’ll stop for a group picture at one or two sites along the way. 

Registration/Check-in at Summit Racing Equipment, in Arlington, at 845A. We’ll have a Safety Briefing at 915A, and the first car departs at 930A. The rally has a length of 180 miles (about five hours). The route is on paved roads in north central Texas; we may encounter brief stretches of uneven pavement, which may influence your choice of vehicle on Rally Day. All vehicles are welcome: sports cars, family cars, classic, antique, and anything with four wheels that’s street legal is okay in this Rally. Note: speed is not a factor.

We finish around 2:00P at El Conquistador Mexican Restaurant in Waco, where we will share a beverage or meal with fellow rallyists from the Lone Star Region, who will end their own Waco National Mammoth Monument Rally at this restaurant.

After lunch, teams may optionally visit Waco sights: Waco Mammoth National Monument, Dr. Pepper Museum, Magnolia Market, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum, etc., before heading home.

No requirement for at least two people in each car unless you separate from the group and rely on (backup) route instructions. Contact rally@texasscca.org if you have a minor child (<18) in the car, as an official SCCA Waiver form will need to be signed.

While same-day registration will be allowed, we encourage you to pre-register on Motorsportreg.com; the entry fee is $10 per vehicle, which covers insurance, preparation of the route, and administrative expenses.
