It’s Time to Enter The 2008 Coker Tire Challenge

Celebrate the last days of summer with the 2008 Coker Tire Challenge, a 3-day Great Race style rally throughout southeastern Tennessee, northern Georgia and Alabama. The 3rd annual Coker Tire Challenge is scheduled for September 19-21 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, home to Coker Tire’s international headquarters.

“Coker Tire is pleased to once again host our vintage rally friends who not only have great collector cars but get them out and drive them,” said Corky Coker, president of Coker Tire. “Besides … you can’t get the smiles unless you do the miles!”

Low score wins in this regional rally. Great Race’s world-class course designer, John Classen promises another unique and challenging rally through the region with a few surprises thrown in for the competitors.

The Coker Tire Challenge is based on the traditional Great Race competition format, a street-legal rally on public highways. Precision driving is required from the driver and navigator who follow a specific set of course instructions that indicate every turn, speed change, stop and start that the race teams make throughout the day.
