Competitor's Bulletin #2 September 27, 2007
 
This notice is to clarify the time for the license seminar, since it is currently scheduled at two different times. The New Competitor's Licensing Seminar will be held from 7 to 9 PM at the Fire Hall. Anyone who has not yet attended three of these needs to attend. Sorry for any confusion.


Competitor's Bulletin #1 September 12, 2007
 
For all competitors:

Please review and understand the following information. If you have any questions, please bring them to the organizers at Registration.

  1. Transit Mileage - To help the RallyMoto competitors, at the first stop sign after the Finish Time Control on all stages except the dead-ends going in (SS 1,3 and 11), we are re-zeroing the mileages.

  2. Arrows - We will be arrowing the special stages. The arrows will be placed on the right side of the road, 20-50 feet BEFORE the information point, depending on sight lines, entry speeds, etc. The arrows will closely depict the corner or intersection, with a down arrow indicating danger. Multiple arrows may be used together. For instance, at a left over crest, we would place a down arrow next to an arrow pointing left.

  3. Chicanes - On stage 6 (same as 8 and 10) to help control speeds, there will be two single-element chicanes. They will require you to drive onto the shoulder of the road, which will require a single digit speed. The apex will likely be a large hay bale, with the balance of the road blocked by tape. Spotters will be present to ensure everyone correctly negotiates the chicanes.

  4. Road Surface - The roads generally have a firmly packed surface, with a few exceptions. However, if it rains, where water collects on or runs across the road, there will likely be clay exposed.

  5. Food and Drink - In past years we've generally had food and beer left over. Let's not let that happen again! Everyone bring a DD, there isn't any taxi service in Harrisville.
