Fort St. John, British Columbia is a little north of the center of the province and on the eastern edge, parked along the Alaska Highway at Mile 47. Other than being a transportation hub of sorts, most people wouldn’t look at it as a bastion of racing. That’s because it ain’t. Most of the fast-movers in this part of Canada are hauling heavy, running up and down the Alaska Highway or headed out to other locations in Western Canada. But would it surprise you to know that there is a little racing series that is unique to Fort St. John? Since 2009, an off-road rallycross style race has been run at the Haab farm, which is situated northeast of North Peace Regional Airport. Originally known as the Father’s Day Rally Race, the now nameless event was started by Steve Haab as a get-together on land that was a former drilling site. The cars have to be $200 beaters, you can’t straight-up hit someone (though rubbing is alright) and races are run in heats so long as the track conditions hold up.

This footage is from the 2010 running and features a couple of Fox Mustangs, a Ford wagon that’s been cut down into an improv four-door truck, a front-driver Oldsmobile and one of the most decrepit Lincoln Town Cars we’ve seen in quite some time. Forget LeMons or any of the other cheap-car racing series, this is as simple as it gets!
