(The following is provided by 2024 STL Rally School Rallymaster Tom vonHatten.)
The final event in the 2024 St. Louis Region SCCA Rally School series was held under warm late summer skies this past Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024. Seven teams (four of them new to the series) took part. The event results are provided below.
The 53-mile route was the most challenging of the series, and included all the basic concepts used in SCCA RoadRally events. These concepts are now part of a series of rally “How-To” documents available online through the Region website, www.stlscca.org.
In all, over the course of our five events, 18 teams participated in our 2024 rally schools, with many running multiple events. We thank everyone for their interest, and we hope each of you will continue your interest in rallying, the St. Louis Region, and the SCCA. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Also, I’d like to thank the following St. Louis Region members for their help in making this series successful:
• Jim Heine
• Stan Lawson
• Rose vonHatten
• Jose Hernandez
Finally, I’d also like to thank the owners of Sunset Overlook in Columbia, Ill., for providing us with a wonderful place that served as both the starting and finishing locations for these five rallies. I hope to be able to use their site for future rallies.
Sincerely,
Tom vonHatten, Rallymaster
