oh yes! registration, checkpoints and Rally HQ workers are needed. workers get free food/beer (checkpoint workers need to wait till they are done) and man the offical cell phone. help people get to the finish if they get lost.

If you want to. put out an email there were a few people that wanted to drive looking for Navagators.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

each checkpoint will require 2 people since you need to navagate to and from the checkpoint setup write times ect. if you have a friend we can get you trained quickly

Rumor has it that this event is run without helmets, is that true?

Did you ever answer the question whether there will be cars coming from the other direction on these stages?

I'm a novice, can I use a GPS?

As far as credentials, All we'll need is a drivers license?

1: This is a road rally, there is no special saftey equipment needed.

2: the roads are all open to public traffic, you may come across somone using the road but the roads used are rather remote. there is one section where the course backs over itself but it's on a paved road with plenty of space to get by each other.

3. you can, the novice class is indexed by equipment level so you will just be novice-equipped.

4. yes Drivers license and an insured car, and common sense, there is most likley not going to be a huge police presence although they will be informed we are running the rally, but not on which roads.
