Rally of the Tall Pines to mark 55th year in Bancroft

The Rally of the Tall Pines is returning next weekend to Bancroft.

Since 1971, it has run through classic rally roads, including Old Hastings and the Iron Bridge.

The seasonal transition between fall and winter adds an element of unpredictability to the course.

Last year, Ricardo Cordero and Marco Hernandez finished in first place.

Tall Pines is part of the North American Rally Cup, the Eastern Canadian Rally Championship and the Ontario Performance Rally Championship.

Spectators can have a look at the vehicles participating at the 55th annual Nov. 21 at the Dungannon Recreation Centre before the ceremonial start.

The first pass of cars is anticipated to reach the Iron Bridge by about 9:17 a.m.

The grand finale is anticipated to take place at about 9:40 p.m. as cars make their final turns and passes back to the centre.
