2011 New England Forest Rally

I got the mirror off blocks car when he flipped it, I was literally watching from 100 yds down the road.

 
I am not the volunteer person this year, but I'm still gonna tell folks to VOLUNTEER, its just as much fun as spectating and if there aren't enough volunteers the rally won't happen and there will be nothing to spectate. SIGN UP KIDS!!!!!!!!

I can't wash it...more bits will fall off than usual. Dirt is the glue that holds poor ol' RallyJeep together.

 
I'm going. Have whole week off. Filled out signup form on net . Haven't heard didly back from nefr yet.

 
Yup. And the rubber bumpy things. I need something to keep the spectators out of my grille

 
Yup, back from the dead, er, Dad. Kids is busy stuff.

Assistant captaining a few stages. It's a blast, and Dan will tell you I'm not too much of a dick. Ask to be on the McKelvie/O'Brien team if you're volunteering. It's where all the cool kids will be.

Hell, you put up with me all weekend last summer... Team Jimbo is the best Team.

 
Jim,

Get your ham license.

or if there are any ham operators on here, we always need radio people. And the spots you get put in are great.

I know I need to...no time. MBA classes, dad-ness, and trying to get two businesses off the ground (my wife's photography is taking off like a mofo, and I've got a little sumpin' sumpin' in development as well.)

 
If I do sign up for team Jimbo, what kinda work would I be doing?

Are you going up and staying overnight or driving each day?

Our team will be in charge of several stages across the two days. This work will be completely different from "spectator marshals," whose job it is to hang near spectator areas and make sure the drunks don't try for a high-speed autograph.

No, our team will be checking cars into the start area, they'll be handed the race card by the codriver, they'll do some quick writing on it, they'll be checking harnesses/helmets/windows, they'll be at the start line counting down to the start, they'll be at the flying finish lines with FRS radios - radioing in when cars pass in front of them (for remote timing purposes).

There will be some folks we'll actually send up the stage (well before it starts) to sit at intersections and keep folks from accidentally driving onto a hot stage.

Long story short, if you want to get close to the action, but don't have your own rally car, this is how to do it.

I'll be going up Monday night and staying through. Last year we were here, and it worked well. I'm treating myself to a day of downhill on Tuesday, and all are invited to come with.
