Colin Armstrong / Jason Thain
1st Overall 2008 - VW Golf GTI
|
The rally will be run in the forestry and oil roads in the familiar Fallen Timber
forestry area. The timing of the rally provides road conditions that will be tricky and unpredictable.
Gravel, snow, and lots of ice are virtually guaranteed.
Gord Olsen / Kathy Olsen
2nd Overall 2008 - VW Golf GTI
|
Reconnaissance or 'Recce', gives 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 makes the event faster and safer for all participants.
With the level of interest in Rallying continuing to grow, the 2009 Cochrane Winter Rally is
expecting a large and competitive field at this years event.
Kris Schofield / Jaclyn Schofield
3rd Overall 2008 - 87 Toyota Corolla GTS
|
The 2009 Western Canada Rally Championship consists of Cochrane Winter Rally, The
Rocky Mountain Rally, Mountain Trials Rally, Bighorn Rally, Pacific Forest Rally, and the Kananaskis
Rally.

Volunteer Information
One of the best ways to get into rallying and learn how and what to do is to volunteer
to help out at an event.
There are many positions available, most not requiring any special knowledge (we'll
teach you anyway). From the registration table to timing controls and spectator
control.
Volunteers are needed:
- To help with competitor registration
- To help with technical inspection of rally cars
- To help with rally equipment for the event -signage, marking off stage areas, etc.
- To operate time controls - timing cars at stage starts, stage finishes and into
the service parks.
- To secure the roads - ensuring that roads leading onto the stages are secure. In
other words, the "best seats in the house to see the action"
- To host sponsor and media representatives
- To help with spectator safety - marshals who ensure that spectators remain in the
designated viewing locations and stay safe.
- To monitor service parks for safe practises and to ensure that spectators are not
too close to competitor cars during service.
Some positions need specialist skills. People with qualifications as amateur radio
operators, emergency medical technicians, and advanced first aid are critical for
event safety and security.

Medical History Form - Saturday, February 21, 2009 |
|
Participants at the Cochrane Winter Rally will be asked to complete Medical
History forms in order to assist emergency crews in the event of an
incident. The forms ask basic medical history information such as your age, known
medical issues, current medications, allergies and emergency contact
information.
Download Medical History Form Here (MedicalForm.pdf)
We ask that you collect these forms for as many of your crew as possible and
submit them in a SEALED 9x11 envelope to registration with your car number
and a list of people who's forms are included on the outside of the
envelope. It is acceptable for each crew member to individually seal their
forms in smaller envelopes, but they must also be labeled with the car
number and crew members name.
It is vital that the information is current and accurate, particularly for
your emergency contacts. The sealed envelopes will be returned to you with your logbooks.
