2005 Cochrane Rally of the Ranchlands

Starting in the picturesque town of Cochrane, the 2005 Rally of the Ranchlands will kick off the Western Canadian Rally Championship.

The rally will show off the cars and drivers with a Car display Sunday morning right in downtown Cochrane, followed by four in-town stages for the spectators. The competitors will then head north to the forestry and oil roads in the familiar Fallen Timber forestry area. The timing of the rally – once known as ‘The Winter Rally’ – provides road conditions that will be tricky and unpredictable. Gravel, snow, and lots of ice are virtually guaranteed.

2005 will be the second year that competitors will be allowed to take to the roads with studded tires. Normal street studs will greatly improve traction on the ice, perhaps replacing some of the ‘show; with some ‘go’.

Following the success of reconnaissance and Pace Notes in the Western Canada Rally Championship in 2004, the format will continue in 2005.

This will give teams a chance to see the roads on the day before the event and make their own description of the stage. The ability to mark hazards and make a knowledgeable tire choice should make the event faster and safer, and will definitely be a learning experience for most of the crews.

New for 2005 is the McCue Creek road, a continuation of the well known Hunter Valley Road and a new service park at the Mountain Aire Lodge and campground which has fuel, a convenience store and a restarant.

With the growth of interest in Rallying, the Cochrane Rally of the Ranchlands is drawing a great level of interest and we are looking at record breaking participation. The competition looks fierce, with a number of old favorites returning to the field and a number of brand new competitors kicking off their careers.

The Rally is on Sunday March 13th and will have spectator areas in the town of Cochrane and on the McCue Creek road. Competition is open to any CARS or SCCA legal car and crew.

The Western Canadian Rally Championship consists of The Cochrane Rally of the Ranchlands, The Rocky Mountain Rally, Mountain Trials Rally, Pacific Forest Rally, The Bighorn Rally, and the Kananaskis Rally.
