History- While not every good idea begins on the back of a cocktail
napkin, sometimes the best do…the idea of the Tourist Trophy of
America (TTOA) has one such origin. Taking form while sitting at
breakfast under the Georgia sun at the Audi Club 2016 National Event,
the idea of an organized drive as a lead-in to this year’s National
Event was first discussed. Since then two more TTOA have run across
the Nation. In 2017, Tarrytown NY was our destination where we
visited historical locations in/about the Hudson Valley, including a
famous cemetery. In 2018, an EPIC adventure cross-country fol;lowed
the Oregon Trail and Mormon Trail, and culminated in The Run to
Rainier. Along the way we visited scenic and historical sites related
to the great migration, speed on the Salt Lake, and technologies
that built the Columbia River Parkway. A total of 20 cars ran,
intercepted, or otherwise participated in that lifetime experience.
This year we plan to venture into some little- and well-known
historical sites that mark some of our culture, our struggle to be a
Nation, and scenic vistas off the beaten path. Come with us as we run
Headlong into History. Join us! And see the registration for the Audi
Club National HERE!
