Welcome

...... to the Sno*Drift Rally web site. The ’08 event is in the record books. This year’s event returned the winners’ trophy to Canada with Antoine L’Estage and Natalie Richard driving a Hyundai, taking top honors. In the last 7 years, Sno*Drift Rally was won 5 times by a Canadian. Last years winner, Travis Pastrana and Christian Edstrom of Maryland, driving a Subaru, did not finish the event as they encountered a deer on the next to last stage.

Sno*Drift was the first event of the 2008 Rally America National Championship series. Running concurrently were the Sno* and Drift Regional Rallies. Henry and Cindy Krolikowski of Wyandotte, Michigan, in a Subaru, were the winners of Fridays Sno Regional event and David Carapetyan and Robert Amato of Austin, Texas, in a Mitsubishi, were the winners of the Saturdays Drift Regional rally. For a complete list of winners and finishing positions of all competitors, click on the links elsewhere on the site.

This is the 42nd anniversary of the Sno*Drift Rally. Sno*Drift Rally was the first complete event ever held as a stage type or performance rally in 1973. The current series was restarted as a national event in Montmorency County in 1997.

Sno*Drift Rally is unique in several ways. Besides being the only winter rally on the Rally America circuit, it is fully contained within Montmorency County, Michigan. The residents, business owners, city, township and county officials, sheriff’s department, road commission, Tri-Township EMS, Atlanta Senior Center and Atlanta Community Schools are extremely generous and warmly welcome the rally racers, their crew and the volunteer workers. Without their cooperation we could not hold our event. We thank them all for their hospitality.

The practice stage on Friday morning was again used as a fundraiser by the rally. All proceeds from the runs will be divided between the Lewiston Community Sharing and the Atlanta Helping Hands organizations. We hope our contribution will help some of the disadvantaged county residents.

We would also like to thank our sponsors and advertisers. We had several spectator stages sponsored by local area businesses that awarded cash prizes for various competitors. The sponsored stages and winners for 2008 were:
