About this event
The Opportunity GTA Rally
Sunday, March 22
Description: A springtime Sunday afternoon road-rally excursion and social event from the BP Gas Mart at the intersection of Olive Street Road and Chesterfield Airport Road in Chesterfield, Mo., to the historic Big Chief Roadhouse on Manchester Road (Historic Route 66) in Wildwood, Mo. Expect a rally of about 60 miles and 2-1/2 hours duration, one that takes you from start to finish by way of the winding country roads of western St. Louis County and eastern Franklin County, Mo. This is not a contest of speed but rather an exercise in route-following, answering questions along the route, and enjoying an early-spring sports-car day on the road.

Event requirements
Rules and Waivers:
The standard SCCA rules regarding road-rallies will be observed: Proof of valid driver’s license and current auto insurance, vehicle inspection (self-inspection by the rally team), and signing of applicable SCCA forms.
All participants will be required to read and sign the standard SCCA waiver before being allowed to participate in this event. The signing of the SCCA’s “Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement” is a precondition to participating in any SCCA event. Any adult, age 18 or older, must sign the waiver.
Minor Participants: A Minor taking part in this event must have an Annual Minor Waiver on file with the SCCA for the current calendar year, i.e., 2026.
The Age of Majority is 18 years except in Alabama and Nebraska, where it is 19, and in Mississippi, where it is 21.
The Annual Minor Waiver will be issued to the Minor by the SCCA National Office. For more information about this process, click on the following document and see the section “Minor Annual Waivers”: Digital Annual Waiver 12-01-2021.pdf.
Before obtaining an Minor Annual Waiver for a child, nonmember parents/guardians, as well as the minor in question, must obtain an SCCA Guest Account.
1. Log onto scca.com.
2. Click on “Join/Renew” in the information bar at the top of the page.
3. Click on “Create a Guest Account.”
4. Click on “I don’t have a Member ID.”
5. Complete the required information.
Once you, as parents or guardians, have received your Guest Accounts, you can begin the process of acquiring an Annual Minor Waiver for your child. See again the document noted above: Digital Annual Waiver 12-01-2021.pdf.
Do not wait until the last moment to obtain an Annual Minor Waiver for your Minor child/participant. SCCA staff normally are not available after regular business hours or during weekends; so a last-minute Annual Minor Waiver request cannot be processed before the start of this road rally. Without a valid waiver, your Minor will not be allowed to participate.
Finally, please read carefully:
If you are registering yourself, and you are paying the entry fee, choose Option 1 on the order form and follow the prompts.
If you are registering as a co-entrant, and your partner has registered already, choose Option 2 on the order form.
