running of the Rally of the Tall Pines. Once again we have worked extensively with our partners to bring the competitors a great rally on great roads and to provide an interesting route. Besides providing a wide variety
of potential road conditions, our route provides competitors with se- rious technical challenges. Expect to see good competition on these incredible roads. Once again the battle for the
Canadian Rally Championship will be decided here at the Tall Pines, so look for an exciting duel be- tween Antoine L’Estage, the current championship leader in the Mit- subishi Evo and last year’s winner, Pat Richard in the Subaru Impreza. Antoine has already won the North American and Rally America Championships. Rally of the Tall Pines is an excel-

VIP ticket. This well-developed program offers guests comfortable warm coaches, private tented viewing areas, lunch, gourmet din- ner and a grab bag of Tall Pines goodies, all the while rubbing shoulders with some of Canada’s up and coming young rallyists. For 2010, we will continue to
provide our two traditional specta- tor areas. The Iron Bridge stage will be run three times during the day. The Golton Spectator stage, brought to you by Tim Hortons, will be run twice after dark as usual. This stage has been length- ened, improved, and a jump has been added to make the venue even more exciting. A new viewing area, Tait Farm, has been added to the Iron Bridge Stage. Regular Tall Pines hands will recognize this lo- cation. We also plan to establish a twitter network to get news and re- sults out faster than ever before. Rally of the Tall Pines was the
first major stage rally in North America to offer an award for the highest placed hybrid car to finish the rally. This year we continue to
ers of this National Event. Whether a first time visitor,
repeat visitor or a resident, we are sure that you will find, the Town of Bancroft to be an ex- ceptional environment for nurturing all kinds of talent and healthy lifestyles. Businesses thrive, wilder-
ness begs to be explored and the creative economy booms. Come back to see us again! •

We also cooperate with Bancroft on other green projects and recy- cling, and encourage you to recy- cle this Spectator Guide and other rally related products to the maxi- mum extent possible. We continue to be grateful to
the Town of Bancroft, the Town- ships of Wollaston, Limerick, Tudor-Cashel, the Municipalities of Highlands East, Marmora and Lake and the Ministry of Natural Re- sources for granting us permission to use their roads. We'd also like to thank Leonard
and Lee Watters, the Tait family, the Golton family and Power Wall Systems for allowing us the use of their own property for portions of the event. I hope you will join us this year and enjoy our unique and challenging rally. •
