2000 Pacific Forest Performance Rally
Western Canadian Rally Championship
Round 6
September 23, 2000
Cache Creek, BC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RALLY COMPETITORS HEAD BACK TO CACHE CREEK August
29, 2000
CACHE CREEK,
BC - On the weekend
of September 23rd the excitement of motor
sports returns to the interior of British Columbia
as competitors in the Pacific Forest Rally head
for the hills. This closed-access, high-speed
road rally will be contested by teams from across
BC, Alberta and the Pacific Northwest in their
specially prepared production-based street vehicles.
The Pacific
Forest Rally once held a special place in BC's
annual rally championship and was held off
and on in the 70's and 80's before returning
again this year. This major event marks another
step forward in the resurgence of rallying on
Canada's West Coast and it will be observed for
possible inclusion as a round in the Subaru Canadian
Rally Championship in 2002.
Organizers are certain that the roads
in the scenic Arrowstone Hills, east of Cache
Creek, will prove to be popular with both drivers
and spectators. "The route is sure to test the
abilities of the rally teams and their cars as
most of the 137 kilometers of special stages
feature steep elevation changes," said Rally
Master Dennis Wende. However, as past competitor
Peter Hill of Calgary puts it, "The roads (are)
totally excellent, challenging without being
frightening."
The Pacific Forest Rally is being hosted
by the West Coast Rally Association and generously
supported by Nokian Tyres, Specialty Subaru,
Western Driver and Wilkinson's Automobilia. If
