Sun Valley Road Rally July 31st

Sheriff Walt Femling lets Dave Stone put the pedal to the metal, ticket-free, at the Sun Valley Road Rally.

For a few glorious hours every commuter's dream will come true:  Highway 75 will transform into a “no speed limit” zone.  Drivers will pin the needle right past the County Sheriff in search of their cars’ top speeds, all for a good cause.  Drivers have a two mile straightaway to hit their top speed, and another mile to cool it down.   In 2009 the cars participating included, among others, Ferraris, Bentleys, Ford GTs, Porsches, and they pushed speeds of 190 m.p.h.

The Sun Valley Road Rally will take place on July 31st from 11:00 to 3:00 between the SNRA and the Baker Creek parking lot north of Ketchum.   A viewing area for spectators on the course will offer refreshments, chairs, an announcer and a digital speed display as the drivers pass the speed trap.  Parking for the event will be at the Baker Creek parking lot 18 miles north of Ketchum.

The event raises money for the Blaine County Drug Coalition which funds programs that improve the health and safety of Blaine County by decreasing alcohol and other drug use among youth.

Spectator tickets are available for a suggested tax-deductible donation of $20 ($50 for families) to the Blaine County Drug Coalition.  For information on participating as a driver or a spectator, please go to www.sunvalleyroadrally.com or call (208)726-2777.
