100 Acre Wood Rally: #212, Ecker-Hardin (Show-Me Rally)

#212, Ecker-Hardin, Rally Racing Team

Sanctioned by the ARA, the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood, with its record 80 entries, will cover almost 125 racing miles that will test rally teams from all across the country (and several foreign countries) on a variety of gravel road surfaces. Set in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, this rally contains some of the most scenic and technical rally roads on the ARA calendar. Each day will begin with a rally car show and opening ceremony. The public is invited to join in on the festivities, see the cars up close, pose for photos, get autographs, and meet the teams at the start of each day, beginning in Potosi on Friday at Lion’s Club Park, continuing at the service area at Huzzah Valley Resort that afternoon, Downtown Salem on Saturday morning, and Saturday night at the Dent County Commons for the ceremonial finish celebration. Teams will compete throughout each day, passing multiple spectator points along the way.

The Show-Me Rally will consist of multiple stages, run over gravel roads through wonderful Washington County Missouri. Located in Eastern Missouri in the great Mark Twain forest, you will enjoy rolling country side views, and great roads through the forests. The City of Potosi welcomes all competitors and volunteers to the area and hope you enjoy your stay while you are here for the rally. Show-Me Rally is a performance rally car race, using street legal vehicles, which have additional safety gear and full roll cages. For any newcomers to rallying, a rally consists of “transit zones” and “special stages”. A transit has the rally teams on the roads with the general public following all traffic rules and merely gets the competitors from one special stage to the next. A special stage is a closed to-the-public section of road(s) where teams are allowed to travel from the start to the finish as fast as they can. Teams are started one minute apart, so there is no wheel-to-wheel racing. The total elapsed times for each team over all of the special stages will determine both individual class and overall victories of the event. In addition, Show-Me Rally is run “blind”, where the teams have not seen the roads ahead of time. For the past few months, the Show-Me Rally Committee has again been working with the local government officials economic partners, to ensure a well organized and safe event. Show-Me Rally aims to help give the area an economic boost by bringing in multiple teams, their service crews, officials, and hundreds of volunteers from outside the area. The Washington County road commissioners have given the organizers of Show-Me Rally permission to temporarily close a few county roads for short periods of time on Saturday. Saturday will begin with a rally car show (Expose) and opening ceremony. Teams will compete throughout the afternoon.
