Whodunit? Rally and Sasha Lanz Memorial Book Run info on Dec 2, 2023 (047715) | MotorsportReg.com

The Texas Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) would like to cordially invite all fellow car enthusiasts to this charity rally benefiting Scottish Rite for Children, one of the nation’s leading pediatric orthopedic centers, and honoring Sasha Lanz, long-time former leader of our RoadRally program. All are welcome and no prior rally experience is necessary.

This road rally will follow a pre-determined route on scenic Collin County roads. You answer fun questions from signs you see along the way. We use puns and silly plays on words. While on your journey, you will also solve a murder mystery. A foul act has been committed. Your job is to figure out who did it, with what weapon and where. Patterned after the Clue Game, you will hunt down the culprit.

Each person in the car is asked to contribute two new books for the patients at Scottish Rite.  They need books for all ages – 5 through 16 – including Look-and-Find books, board books, chapter books, Spanish-language books, etc. We will collect the books at registration/check-in.

If you’re new to road rally and/or still deciding whether to sign up, we plan to conduct a Rally School via Zoom (November 26th) to help prepare for the rally (for details and to pre-register for the School, go to  http://msreg.com/CBR23RSmsr ). For those who can’t join the live session, we will post a YouTube video recording of the session.
