Rocky Mountain Rally coming to valley
The Calgary Sports Car Club is hosting the Rocky Mountain Rally, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
This year’s pre and post race events are being held in Invermere, Radium Hot Springs and Panorama Mountain Village.
Actual racing will place along Hawke Road (off Westside Road, south of Invermere and west of Fairmont Hot Springs) and Torrent Road, southwest of Canal Flats (running north-south toward Skoomuchuck) on Oct. 31. And on Saturday, Nov. 1 the final legs of the rally will begin at Radium Hot Springs and head up Forster and Westside Roads.
The roads offer a picturesque setting nestled along the benches of the Purcell Mountains.
The course provides some of the best on and off-road driving available in North America, event organizers promote.
“The event will provide a larger service park for the competitors as well as exciting Spectator points on all the stages for people to come out and watch the action,” states Rockymountainrally.com.
Perhaps the most exciting and unique form of motorsports, rallysport challenges competitors on closed roads in all conditions.
Rally has been widely popular across Europe with the sport rivaling soccer for its fan following. With exposure in the X Games and the involvement of a number of extreme athletes, the sport is gaining popularity all across North America.
