D&N BANK LAKE SUPERIOR PRO RALLY
This year marks the 5th anniversary of the Lake Superior PRO Rally as organized by the Lake Superior Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) In 1994, this small region embarked on continuing a national PRO Rally in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In 1996, the event garnered recognition as "PRO Rally of the Year". For 1998, we are back to our roots: two-day format, Dee Stadium and the Keweenaw Peninsula. Some time honored stages have been selected again because of dramatic road improvements. The time schedule indicates many more daytime special stages than previous years, because we are also hosting the SCCA PRO Rally Year-End Awards Banquet on Saturday evening,
