The rally is a joint venture between Canossa Events and the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival.

Entrants may also donate an additional $1.00 per mile, for as many miles as they choose, to increase their support.
“This is going to be a fabulous event,” said Byron DeFoor, founder of the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival. “It gives car owners a wonderful opportunity to enjoy their cars on twisting and undulating roads, rolling hills, driving past dramatic rock formations and waterfalls. It will also benefit a great cause close to our hearts."
“First-class dining will enhance the experience while participants enjoy the historic sites of Tennessee and Georgia. I recently traveled to Tuscany in Italy to enjoy a spectacular rally. Canossa Events will bring an Italian flair to Chattanooga to make this an experience to be remembered for a lifetime."
“We are excited to support Byron and his dedicated team with this amazing cause and moving our traditional ‘Fall Rally’ from New England to the South this year. The backyards of Chattanooga offer a perfect playground for our passionate car collectors,” said Luigi Orlandini, Chairman and CEO, Canossa.
