The second proof of concept event will be on November 11, 2023 in our series leading us towards the first World Rally in the US in 36 years. Our list of events building to the World Rally including rallies, conferences and training had grown a bit longer since our first demonstration event in April of this year!
Nevertheless, we are on our way.
Polk County, Tennessee will host the Copperhill Veterans Day Rally, a 50 mile one day Rally on the hills of the area’s former copper mine. We plan to honor our country’s veterans and reintroduce stage rally to the area as we march towards our ultimate goal…a World Rally event in Southeast Tennessee.
Stages will vary from very tight and technical to flowing with moderate elevation change. The RallyUSA team will use the event to test the roads, conduct World Rally-specific training and to develop high-capacity spectator viewing sites needed for the volume of WRC spectators later anticipated. The stages used here WILL appear in later test events and the World Rally lineup as well!
This private site will accommodate the HQ, service area, scrutineering, spectator parking and viewing, and all stages and transits. It has mountain vistas, rolling hills and former industrial backdrops. The town of Copperhill, a lovely mountain getaway, is only a few hundred yards away from the event site and will provide a perfect setting.
We are confident of a few things that this and later events will set the conditions for…
We will have a WRC event in the US again!
•The enthusiasm and volume of new workers will be outstanding
•The host communities will benefit from the endeavor
•Sponsors will see enormous value
•RALLY IN THE US WILL GROW and GROW and GROW
