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.
