Soon the leaves will change color and a chill will be in the air. That means it's time for the Chicago Region SCCA's Get Out And Tour Series fall tour. This fall's backroads drive will take place Saturday, October 18. It starts at the Flying J Truck Stop in South Beloit, Ill., and ends in Beloit, Wis., at the Rock Bar & Grill, where we will get together and enjoy lunch. Yes, it's a big circle, but it's a scenic route almost all the way, covering 140 miles and taking about 3.5 hours.

If you’ve never been on a G.O.A.T.S. tour, they are non-competitive, fun drives on public roads with a navigator guiding the driver from printed instructions. This tour's route will provide an enjoyable day of driving, complete with twists, turns, elevation changes and rural scenery. It takes you past several apple orchards, where you can pick up some fall produce if you choose.

The entry fee for members is $25; for non-members, it is $45, which includes an SCCA weekend membership. All cars must have a driver and a navigator. Navigators must have an SCCA membership, whether that is a full, weekend or trial membership. See details below.

Pre-event registration is required. The entry deadline is midnight Monday, October 13.

Check-in on October 18 will be at the Flying J Travel Center, 16049 Willowbrook Rd. South Beloit, IL 61080 (the northwest corner of I-90 /39 and Illinois Rt. 75) by the Denny’s Restaurant. Check-in opens at 9:00 a.m., with the first car off promptly at 10:00 a.m.
