Thumbs up Pacific Forest Rally - call for volunteers

West Coast Rally Association are looking for a few good volunteers to work either the Pacific Forest Rally,on Saturday, June 8th or the Merritt Challenge RallyX the following day---or both!

The performance event requires about 45 volunteers. Whether there are 9 cars or 30 cars entered, it takes almost the same number of people to put on a rally. The rallyx requires fewer workers, the day is shorter, from 9 am until 2 pm and there are bathrooms conveniently located on the site.

You don't need any previous experience, novice workers are teamed with more experienced volunteers. Working the event is really an adventure--a chance to meet some new people,to learn some new skills and hang out with others with similar interests. It's also a chance to see the rally up close and support the club's activities and rallysport in general. You will be part of the final dress rehearsal for an event that next year will have national status for the 2003 Subaru Canadian Rally Championship. Next year, high profile national teams will travel beyond Alberta to complete the Canadian Rally Championship, there will helicopters overhead and television crews on the ground.

Whether your personal interest lies in Time/Speed/Distance events, rallyx or performance events, I am inviting you to promote rallysport in general and specifically, the WCRA's acitivities by volunteering on the June 8th weekend. Be part of the action, come see it close up: work an event.

Please contact Betty Third ([email protected]) if you are curious, or if you have questions. The club helps out with accommodation and the awards banquet on Saturday night is a gift to the workers.

Some of you have done this before, so maybe you can post your thoughts and experiences.

I'm going... but my 4Runner is dead so I'm renting a car for the weekend because I have to be back in Vancouver by Sunday morning.

I'll be a radio operator in the chase truck.

Thanks for posting, it helps to keep track of who's going and when. As you know, radio operators are always welcome.

Have you contacted Betty?

Alex,

Drop Betty an email. Maybe you can marshal the spectator point as you'll probably be there anyway

Your loss Mark.
It would have been great to see you again.
You'll miss the rallycross too.

Just so you know... Schumi will win and Kelo gets second.

Peter,

Yes, it would have been fun to hang with you VIC'ers again. I miss my trips to Vancouver.

However, I spoke with "The Boss" after the last rallycross that you had in Merritt and she said she'd be all for it, as long as the family went along and she could visit with her sister. That's part of the reason why I'm bummed because I had PERMISSION to go.

Oh well, next time.

BTW, I just think its criminal that Rubens always has to play second fiddle. He's such a great driver in his own right and shouldn't have to let Michael pass just because of team orders.

Cheers,
MB

Merritt was near to flooding downtown on Saturday. The river just kept rising. They have had a lot of rainfall recently - see other post of road damage.

The stages are ok and I am praying for the rallyx site.
