The city of Knoxville recently announced that a three-day, 80-vehicle rally across a big chunk of the South, will have the starting line in none other than their own city.

The 2015 Smoky Mountain Rally commences at the Clinch Avenue Bridge and makes its way throughout the south, finally ending in Savannah, Georgia two days later. Throughout the total journey, it crosses through a total of 25 stops; including historical and scenic locations.

It costs $400 plus a $100 donation to Hope for the Warriors in order to register for the rally, stopping points at cities; such as: Hendersonville, North Carolina, Athens, Georgia and Savannah, Georgia. However, drivers will have to wait to find out what the stops will be, as they remain a secret until those participating depart from their initial starting point every morning.

In order to take part in this southern rally, drivers most have a sports car, muscle car, or another “unique ride”, along with a team of at least two people. In order to make the event more festive, teams oftentimes dress up on each day – some even go so far as to create team names and themes for themselves.

The Smoky Mountain Rally is done in the name of charity, specifically, non-profit Rally North America. A fundraiser for Hope for the Warriors, the event aims to fund assistance for 9/11 service members, along with the families of the fallen who have been wounded – physically or psychologically – in the line of duty.
