Laughlin, Nevada -- The organizing committee of the 19th annual Prescott Rally is gearing up for this two day performance rally in the high desert rangelands of central Arizona. Prescott has a storied history in mining, ranching and more recently, tourism and the Prescott Rally shares in this history. Competitors will transit through the historic mining town of Jerome and race across ranching land used for decades. Old narrow gauge railroad beds also are a part of the route as well as the historic farming community of Chino Valley.

This year's event will feature 111 stage miles over the two day format with activities based at the Yavapai County Fairgrounds in Prescott Valley, Arizona. A spectator friendly stage has been set up at the fairgrounds and competitors will have four opportunities to run this "Fairgrounds Sprint" over the course of the weekend. Jeff Hendricks, Assistant Clerk of the Course, has laid out this stage to be challenging for the competitor while fun for spectators to view.

Sponsors for this mainstay southwestern event include Scott Roofing of Phoenix, Lamb Subaru of Prescott along with the Subaru Western Region, The Prescottonian Hotel and Whiskey Row Screen Printing. Timing and Scoring will be provided by the California Rally Series.
