Rally History
Each June, a weekend celebration of historic automobiles and a spirited competition make the Gering/Scottsbluff area the center of antique auto enthusiasts. The Sugar Valley Rally is a precision timed event covering about 400 miles of the scenic North Platte Valley in Western Nebraska. Drivers and navigators steer their 50 year old (or older) vehicles on a predetermined course, trying to match a perfect time. The endurance of the machine, the knowledge of mechanics and timing skills are tested as the competitors challenge each other for a cash purse.
Organized in 1989, the Sugar Valley Rally has grown to become the second largest rally of its kind. Sanctioned by the Vintage Car Rally Association, our success is attributed to the hospitable nature of Nebraskans, plus the hosts' ability to stage a clean, competitive, fun event. Spectators enjoy seeing history drive down the highways. The event is popular with all ages and free to spectators.
The Sugar Valley Rally is held the first weekend of June. For more information please see the Rules on the Registration page or contact Sugar Valley Rally, PO Box 214, Scottsbluff, NE 69363 ph: 308-632-3381 e-mail: sugarvalleyrally@gmail.com
