Ararat Rally Is 25 Years Old
 Since 1987, Ararat Rally has been an exciting annual event organized by dedicated volunteers. Created in support of Homentemen Glendale Ararat Chapter, the rally's purpose is to raise funds and help the organization as it serves the community's youth in Scouting, athletics and cultural activities.
 Anywhere from 35 to 50 participating cars will leave the Ararat Center on San Fernando Road in Los Angeles, on a fall Saturday morning, to reach the finish line. The rally takes approximately nine hours to complete, as the participants follow the road-book instructions to the annually varying destination hundreds of miles away. Each car is manned by a driver and a navigator, with a limit of four passengers per car. Though the event's primary goal is charity, each team's goal is to reach all of the randomly selected checkpoints and the final destination at a precise time.
 Due to dedication and commitment of our volunteers and Rally masters throughout the years this event has become not only one of the most successful and exciting events we have, but has grown to become one of if not the most popular TSD amateur car Rally races in North America.
