Southern Ohio Forest Rally Preview

It's been more than 20 years, but rally cars have returned to Chillicothe. Brent Short and Jeremiah Johnson tell us what to expect with the Southern Ohio Forest Rally this weekend. Johnson says the cars are street legal so they can travel to the roadways to the designated courses, but once they're ready to race, they pack a punch. Some of the cars resemble those seen in the "Fast & Furious" movie series. The Rally will take to the course in Zaleski State Forest Friday and through Scioto Trails State Forest Saturday, culminating in side-by-side competition at the Ross County Fairgrounds, something not done here before. The only admission price is at the fairgrounds, $5 per person, but ages 12 and under are admitted free. There will be designated stations for spectator viewing in the State Forests, simply follow the signs. The cars and drivers will also be in downtown McArthur Friday afternoon and front of The Majestic Theater on East Second Street Saturday morning. Visit www.southernohioforestrally.com to learn more.
