About this event
WHAT: TSD Road Rally School
REGISTRATION OPENS: July 1st, 2026
REGISTRATION CLOSES: August 19th, 2026
TIME: August 22nd at 8:30am
START LOCATION: Parnell Memorial Library, xxx Park Dr, Montevallo AL 35115.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO REGISTER? Per car: $25 with an SCCA member. If a team doesn't have an SCCA member, a $25 weekend membership is also needed. Cards aren’t charged until the day of or after the event so there is no risk for registering early. Limited to 20 cars. We will have a wait list if necessary.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? Approximately 6 hours, broken into the classroom session – 1.5 hours which includes registration, the class and a break before getting to your car to depart on a practice leg; a short odometer check and a TSD leg of 75 mile lasting 1 hr, 51 min. We’ll end at Durbin Farms (exit 205 on I-65) in Clanton for a lunch and discussion of the morning fun.
IS IT SAFE? This is not a race, and you don't need any special equipment or any kind of special car. You do have to remember you are sharing the road with other drivers.
SO WHY IS IT FUN? What is a Road Rally? It’s a scenic drive with a purpose: a chance to enjoy a day with a friend and is the least expensive form of motorsport. One participant described it as, “The most intense thing I have ever done!" Considering that this, “most intense thing,” was done on a public road without ever breaking any laws in a car with absolutely no modifications, it’s clear that a Road Rally is much more than a simple phrase can describe. You might also find a quote about your heart pounding, and that could actually happen.
CAN MY CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN COME? The school portion is probably not appropriate for children younger than 14yo. You can have observers less than 19yo in the back seat. The driving is easy, but the discussion can be intense at times, so we're limiting drivers to those who have a valid license, NO learner's permits. See separate information about minor waivers (this is very important-no “wiggle room” here)!
CAN I BRING MY PET? No, sorry.
WAIVERS? At the event, we will have you sign a waiver or show that you have an SCCA annual waiver. A separate minor waiver is required for any participant below Alabama's age of adulthood-- 19yo. It doesn't matter if you live in another state. Paper MINOR WAIVERS are critical and must be correctly completed PRIOR TO THE EVENT. This Waiver must be printed and executed in color. If both parents are not attending the event, then both signatures need to be notarized. It can be found here: SCCA Minor Waiver Paper 2020 Don't forget to bring it to the event. LAST MINUTE MINOR WAIVERS AT THE EVENT ARE NOT POSSIBLE
