The G.O.A.T.S. are getting restless. They want to take to the road and have a fun drive through southern Wisconsin. That must mean 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, September 28. It starts at the Flying J Truck Stop in South Beloit, Ill., and ends in Monticello, Wis., at the Pink Heifer Saloon & Smokehouse, where we will get together and enjoy lunch.

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 120-mile route will provide an enjoyable day of driving, complete with twists, turns, elevation changes and rural scenery.

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 Sunday, September 22.

About our destination: In 2020, Lauren and Yo Fox moved from Southern California to Monticello. They purchased the Monticello House, built in 1895 as a hotel and tavern, in June 2021. With help from their family, they completed a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall renovation, creating the Pink Heifer Saloon & Smokehouse.

After lunch, if you're interested, the nearby town of New Glarus will be celebrating Oktoberfest that weekend. This event offers many spirited activities in downtown New Glarus, including live music, great food, local beer, wagon rides, chainsaw carving, plus plenty of family fun.

Check-in on September 28 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.
