The 2025 SCCA® Board of Directors (BoD) election results are in, conducted in four of 13 of SCCA’s geographic Areas to determine who will represent their Areas on the BoD starting in 2026. Two new Board members were selected, and two incumbents rejoin the Board for another three-year term in office.

Bob Crawford (incumbent) of Silver Spring, MD, retains his seat as Area 2 Director. Likewise, Mark Weber (incumbent) of Saint Louis, MO, retains his seat as Area 6 Director. In Area 10, Mike Toombs of Rochester, NY, ran unopposed and earns the Director position; Toombs replaces Charles M. Dobbs, Jr, who concludes his final term as Area 10 Director. Sam Fouse of Raleigh, NC, won the Area 12 Director position; Fouse replaces Steve Strickland, who is completing his second term as Area 12 Director.

Furthermore, with Area 4 Director Dayle Frame stepping aside at the end of 2025 to become the Chair of the Club Racing Board (CRB), the Board of Directors has appointed David Brown of Delaware, OH, to serve the remaining year of Frame’s term as Area 4 Director.

It’s official: St. Louis Region will host the 2026 SCCA® United States RoadRally Challenge® (USRRC) on Oct. 9-11, 2026. This will be the fifth time in the USRRC’s three-decade history that St. Louis Region will have hosted the event. Previously, St. Louis hosted the weekend in 1998 (Six Flags, Eureka, MO), 2001 (Pere Marquette State Park, Grafton, IL), 2005 (Fairview Heights, IL), and 2018 (Columbia, IL).

For 2026, St. Louis Region has chosen the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville, IL, across the river from the Gateway Arch, as its headquarters location, with the USRRC’s headquarters hotel to be determined early in 2026.

The weekend’s provisional schedule is as follows:

St. Louis Region last offered the Great River Road Tour as part of the 2001 USRRC. The Route 66 Ramble made its debut in 2016 as part of a Region Divisional weekend. As part of the 2026 USRRC, St. Louis Region will celebrate the centenary of Route 66 by again incorporating parts of the road’s historic route between Collinsville, IL, and Springfield, IL.

Also, as in 2016, the Route 66 Ramble will use a Monte Carlo format with tulip diagrams for route instructions. The Great River Road Tour, meanwhile, will use a conventional format for its route instructions.

Additional information and registration opportunities will be available early in 2026.
