I just got a packet in the mail today from New England Performance Rally.In it is detailed info on 1) contacts for volunteering and the breakdown of the various crews/tasks available 2) Worker sign up sheet. 3) Discounted Lodging rates at Sunday River, in Bethel ME, which is now their base on operations for the N.E.F.R. event. I couldn't make NEFR last year but did volunteer for an event in PA and it was a total BLAST!!! Theres no other form of car racing where you can so easily interact with the drivers / pit crews and have the best front row seats only a couple of feet from rally cars blasting through the forest at >90-100mph. I can scan a couple copies of the forms at work Friday if anyone is interested. Does anyone plan on going and or volunteering this year? P.S. ...I thought of Dmitry & Noah when I saw this 1st shot from last year : )

I'm going, but Noah won't able to make it I'm not volunteering, I rather try to catch all the different stages rather than spend all day at one volunteering. Sean/skimobile are you going?

Matt and I and two friends will be going but just to watch. We make this trip every year and have done it for almost 10 years. We usually leave home on Thu morning to have enough time to check tech inspections and the get together before the rally and come home on Sun night. We'll be staying at Sunday River so I hope to see you at the Phoenix house or the Brewery for a cold one. Go to www.gorally.net (bottom left corner) to see last year's pictures.

CHeck this out! In the interest of training up new workers for core positions at rallies, Team O'Neil is setting the Sunday before New England Forest Rally aside as a worker training day. But to make it a true "training" day, we need rally teams to run the route!
TEAMS: If there are teams interested in "testing" before the rally, this is your shot. We will not be charging for this "testing" but we do ask that at the end of the day each team participating provide "spank me" rides to the workers who have been training all day. Here's the deal.
We will try to run the "testing" like a real rally. This will give you a chance to shake down your equipment (both machine and human) before the event and help us train workers, so rallies can continue. Teams will be running a route that is contained wholely on the Team O'Neil facility and should be around 3 miles long. There will be no "going hot" we are trying to maintain a rally format for training purposes, while allowing some teams some free time to test equipment. You will be running at speed and the only format we have for the facility are routebook style!
You will be allowed to bring a crew should there be bugs to work out while "testing".
WORKERS: We will be training all aspects, starts, finishes, MTC's marshaling, radio. If you are an experienced workers and wish to come out to help train, please feel free, the more the better.
