Tim O'Neil is correct.

You have to go back to 1973 for the other two.  I was co-driving for one of them

Did you folks know that this weekend marks the 34th anniversary of a World Championship Rally right here in Lanark Highlands (and north)?

Doug will get this one with no problem:   the final page of the program is a full-page Toyota ad, with the headline reading: "Walter, Doug and Toyota just won the Canadian Rally Championship again."

Answer: The 1974 World Championship Rally of the Rideau Lakes ran from October 16-20, 1974, and Rally HQ was in Smiths Falls.

I don't know where Jim got his hands on a photocopy of the program, but it came in handy when Darryl and I were pitching our proposal to the Lanark Highlands committee.

As the MCO Rally Group is busy preparing for our stage rally next May, I didn't want to let this anniversary go by without mention!
