              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."
