Entry List - there are now 28 paid entries in hand with more expected to arrive in the next few days. This is the most entries at any event in BC since the early 1980's! A healthy spread of competitors from BC, Alberta, Washington and Oregon will face stiff competition from a few of the best eastern Canadian teams who have elected to make the journey westward. http://www.pacificforestrally.com/archives/2003/2003EntryList.htm
