Big White Host Venue Details and Event Summary
Happy Valley Day Lodge and Lot will be the host venues for the rally weekend!
From the Big White event summary:
Winter action sports are in full swing in the early season at Big White! Organized by the West Coast Rally Association, the second annual Big White Rally Weekend is scheduled for the opening weekend of December 4-6, 2009. Performance rally teams will be testing the limits of speed and snow on the nearby forest roads, and registered entrants will have the chance to test their daily drivers against the rally cars. This year’s event features a full regional stage competition that will be scored as part of the Western Canadian Rally Championship, and a SnowX for regular production vehicles.
On Friday, rally teams, snowXers and volunteers will be gathering at the resort to register and organize for Saturday’s regional rally. Friday is also reconnaissance, where drivers and codrivers explore the stage roads and make detailed pacenotes for the following day. Friday evening concludes with a casual social event.
On Saturday, the fun begins. Rally teams with fully caged production cars will be competing in the first ever Big White Winter Regional Rally on closed snowy forest roads near the resort. The service park will be at Happy Valley, which will be accessible to spectators interested in seeing rally teams in action. Happy Valley will also be the location for a tight, technical autoX style course that the rally cars will run as a super special stage. While the rally cars are out on the forest stages, the super special will be open to local drivers in regular production cars as part of a SnowX competition.
Spectators will be able to view the SnowX competition from the back of the skating rink at Happy Valley. For more adventurous newcomers or seasoned rally spectators, designated spectator areas will be accessible on the forest stages. The event concludes on Saturday night with an awards party at Happy Valley. On Sunday, local rally driver Mark Jennings-Bates will have the Prescribed Burn Rally Team car in the village for a closer look and to talk about his bid to compete in the 2011 Dakar International Rally.
Volunteers are needed for the Big White Rally Weekend, and spectators will be welcome in designated areas. Contact organizer Jennifer Daly (jennifer@rallybc.com) for more information, or check out the following links:
