Lincoln Electric Rally of the Tall Pines, Bancroft Ontario

Tall Pines returns again to Bancroft, with great roads and warm hospitality. The organizers are working hard on a route that incorporates all your favourite roads (and doesn't include the rough ones!).

We would like to welcome CARFAX Canada and Peterborough and Kawartha Association of Realtors (PKAR) as new sponsors to this year's rally. Please check out the live link to their websites on our sponsors list.

PKAR now represents over 800+ members across Central Ontario. They are the leader in providing support to the professional REALTOR® through knowledge, communication, service and advocacy.

Lincoln Electric returns as our title sponsor for the fifth year; their support is truly appreciated. Along with support and sponsorship from the Town of Bancroft, and sponsorship from Pirelli, we are pleased to have Kawartha Metals join us with the sponsorship of the safety tracking technology.

The Lincoln Electric Rally of the Tall Pines is part of three series - CRC, OPRC and ECRC. The OPRC series is supported by Ontario Motor Sales, Clarington Hyundai, and Enercare/Martin Air Heating. These sponsors are providing a prize pool of $10,000 for the series. Details can be found on the OPRC.online website.

The 50th edition of the Lincoln Electric Rally of the Tall Pines, Bancroft, ON was the most memorable in many years. Sponsored by the Town of Bancroft, Lincoln Electric, and Pirelli, the rally saw 29 teams face many challenges throughout the day. The organizers, too, had their own trials and tribulations, from power outages at headquarters, to blocked roads, from competitor injuries (thankfully not too serious) to cancelled stages. In the end, André and Rene Leblanc were the overall winners in their 2005 Subaru WRX. Gary Sutherland and David Koiter took the top step on the 2 Wheel Drive podium with their 2000 Ford Focus.
