Second round of ten for the 2001 season. The event marks the much-anticipated return of FIA Internationally listed rallying to the SCCA ProRally Championship. All events in the SCCA ProRally Championship consist of flat-out racing, in any weather, on challenging forest, mountain or desert roads. SCCA Performance Rally events follow a format similar to that used around the globe.
Competitors generally see the course for the first time as they race it.
The International Cherokee Trails Rally is the first recced and pacenoted SCCA ProRally Championship event in over a decade. SCCA Performance Rally vehicles are production-based cars and trucks from manufacturers around the world. They compete both for the overall victory and wins within a class structure that groups together vehicles with similar performance capabilities. This role is as critical as the driver's skill, since the team is traveling at full racing speeds over roads they have not seen, in any type of weather. Subaru Impreza WRX-Sti.
