Rocky Mountain Rally

Comments

In 1991, Rocky Mountain Rally celebrates her 18th anniversary as a Canadian National Rally Championship event and her 12th year as a qualifying event in the North American Rally Cup.

Truly a rally of firsts: the Rocky, the people who have nurtured her and rallysport through good times and bad, and the competitors who have challenged Rocky are all part of the Canadian rally story.

The initial Rocky was cooperatively organized by the Edmonton Light Car Club, the Northern Alberta Sports Car Club and the present sanctioning club, the Calgary Sports Car Club.

Under the direction of organizer-routemaster, Ian McArthur of the Edmonton Light Car Club, the inaugeral 1973 Rocky Mountain Rally spanned 3 days and nearly 2000 kilometers.

Seventeen teams started the navigational-selective event at the Jasper Park Lodge and twelve finished 7,820 feet up Mount Nelson at a mine site, near Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia.
