The Issue

The Cherokee National Forest is not a racetrack.

All who enjoy the natural wonders of this national treasure will be victimized by the roar of engines, the screeching of tires, and the aftermath of damaged roads and trails through our beloved forest, all in the name of entertainment.

On March 16, 2023, it was announced that the World Rally Championship is to be held on the backroads of the Cherokee National Forest in 2024.  Local residents remember the last occurrence of such an event in 2002, and strongly urge all who enjoy the natural splendor of the Cherokee to speak up in opposition of such blatant disregard for the people and wildlife that call the Cherokee our home.

Your signature will let our elected officials know you oppose this event in our backyard.

The time is now.  Planning is already underway for practice events, as early as April 7-8 2023.
