ROUTE

SHAKEDOWN STAGE

Directions: From the junction of US Route 2 and Route 26 (Newry), take Route 26; in 15.0 miles, turn LEFT on dirt; the stage starts here.

YOU MAY NOT PARK SERVICE VEHICLES ON ROUTE 26. There are pulloff areas within 2 miles in either direction of this stage start and those may be used. Also just after turning off the main road onto the 'stage' road, there is an area to the right which will accommodate several cars and service vehicles.

SERVICE

Information in the service routebook will contain locations, time available and any other pertinent information. For 2003 we will retain Oquossoc for the long lunch break on Saturday; we feel that the friendly nature of the people and services in Oquossoc override the small and spread-out nature of the service area. Due to the rural nature of Maine, there are no large, suitable service locations, thus we will have to move between Oquossoc and the DOT Lot in Wilson Mills for services on Saturday.

Please fill out the Service Crew Registration Form and bring it with you to Registration.

Service work on rally cars in the Sunday River Resort area may only be accomplished in LOT 8, which is the large dirt parking lot on the left just before entering the Grand Summit parking area.

FRIDAY REGROUP

FRIDAY FINAL "FLEXI" SERVICE/OVERNIGHT PARC FERME

Upon completion of SS #4, the cars will return to the Thurston Lot and enter MTC 3. The Time Card Book will be collected; a single time card will be issued and the cars will be directed once again to a Parc Ferme. From here, either the driver or his representative may immediately check into final service via MTC 4. The car is then due back into Overnight Parc Ferme within 60 minutes (MTC 5). However, if desired, the car may be left in the Parc Ferme location until a later time when it may be removed for its 60 minute service. All cars must be returned to the Overnight Parc Ferme before 11:00 pm, at which time MTC 5 will close.

MTC 5 will close at 11 pm; therefore all cars must be checked into that control before 11:00 pm or they will be considered to have missed a control and therefore DNF.

There will be a guard at the Overnight Parc Ferme.

Distances between Services:

FRIDAY:
Start to F-1	16 mi SS; 64 mi transit
F-1 to F-2	6 mi SS; 28 mi transit
SATURDAY:
Restart to S-1	10 mi SS; 58 mi transit
S-1 to S-2	33 mi SS; 18 mi transit
S-2 to S-3	18 mi SS; 22 mi transit
S-3 to End	35 mi SS; 17 mi transit

FUEL TRUCK

SATURDAY MORNING RESTART

Club rallyists DO NOT need to enter the overnight Parc Ferme; on Saturday morning they should proceed to a 'holding area' behind the Parc Ferme. From here they may enter MTC 6 OUT at their correct start time.

RESTART TIMES WILL BE POSTED AT BOTH THE PAVILION AND SUNDAY RIVER GRAND SUMMIT AT 11 PM FRIDAY NIGHT.

OQUOSSOC MID-DAY SATURDAY

CONTROL INFORMATION

• A YELLOW "clock" board replaces the "open gate" sign.
• A RED "clock" board replaces the "clock" sign.
• A RED "furled flag" board replaces the "furled flag" sign.
• A YELLOW "checkered flag" board is now positioned about 100 yards before the actual Flying Finish at the end of a Special Stage.
• A RED "checkered flag" board replaces the "checkered flag" sign.
• A RED "STOP" board replaces the "clock" sign at the timing car at the Finish Timing Control.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

On the two longest stages (SS #7 and SS #10), we have established an auxiliary timing point approximately 5 miles before the end of the stage. The exact timing point will be the apex of the intersection at Page # 45, Line # 4 and Page # 66, Line 2. DO NOT STOP HERE. We will only use this if the spectators near the finish force us to stop the stage by their behavior. If this is necessary, all competitors will be assigned their "new" stage time at the earliest opportunity.

MISC

1. We are unsure if a Driver's Meeting is going to be required by SCCA; information will be made available as we receive it.
2. All personnel connected with the rally MUST sign the WAIVER at Registration.
3. NO practice or testing (NPRR 7.1.B) will be allowed on any dirt road within 60 miles of Rumford before the rally, unless permission is obtained in advance from the Rallymaster. Thursday's Grafton Shakedown Stage is obviously exempt.
4. We expect that all personnel associated with the competing cars will respect Rule NPRR 7.10.F which restricts them to following the service route. An exception has been granted to allow all personnel to spectate at the Rec Park (SS #1); we don't expect to see team personnel further north than the Rec Park on Friday.
5. TRAILERS: DO NOT park them on the asphalt at the Madison or the Linnell! We need the space for cars. They may be parked in the field just west of the Madison (to the right as you enter the Madison). At the Linnell, ask the front desk; don't park them in front of the Pavilion. At Sunday River you should park them in LOT 8, which is on the left as you enter the Grand Summit parking lot. Trailers are NOT allowed in the Oquossoc area; if you bring your trailer north, you may be able to leave it at the intersection of Routes 16 and 4, just east of Oquossoc. Thank you.
6. Scrutineering FORMS are available at Scrutineering - a map (Rumford Area Map) is posted on the web site and is in the routebook. You MAY go to Scrutineering before Registration.
7. The RALLY PLATE should be screwed or taped on your car's hood.
8. ODOMETER CHECK: The distance between the MADISON MOTEL sign and the CITGO sign on Route 2, east of the Madison, is 3.62 miles.
9. The NOTICE BOARD will be posted in the Registration room at the Pavilion on Friday; any updates will be handed out as bulletins at MTCs/RGCs during Saturday's competition.
10. The STARTING ORDER will be determined on the basis of the entries received by July 18, using the latest speed factor list; the results will be posted on the web site. An OVERALL reseed is planned for Saturday morning. The FIA Open Class cars will be started in the order drawn on Thursday night.
11. All cars must be positioned in PARC EXPOSE between NOON - 1 PM Friday afternoon. Arrival after 1 PM will result in a penalty (NPRR). This Parc will be located in downtown Rumford. A map (Downtown Rumford Map) is posted on the website and will be in the routebook; you must enter by using the bridge on the south side of downtown Rumford.
12. Timing will be in seconds.
13. CONTROLS, with penalties, will operate per NPRR.
14. Lateness at ATCs, MTCs, etc., will be penalized 12 seconds/minute (see NPRR).
15. TIME CARDS and official time will be available at MTCs and at Registration on Friday.
16. Friday night there will be a 78 mile loop between services; only 16 miles of this is special stage. Be prepared!
17. The un-posted SPEED LIMIT on gravel roads is 35 mph.
18. QUIET ZONES are to be traversed 5 mph below the speed limit, low beams, and 'being quiet'.
19. ARROWS will supplement the route book, one being located AT (20 feet before) all major intersections which require a significant change of direction. Downward facing arrows indicate cautions.
20. Senior officials of the event will wear green vests; they will be in charge of various aspects of the event. They should be consulted when questions concerning the event arise.
21. All INCIDENTS/ACCIDENTS must be reported on the appropriate forms; forms are printed in the routebook. It is the responsibility of the competitor to hand the completed form to the SAFETY STEWARD or mail it to Kansas within 14 days.
22. The buffet/awards will be at Sunday River in a ballroom that will accommodate 450 people. The buffet will be served first, with only ticket holders being allowed in the room. When the buffet is finished, the doors will open for the awards ceremony. Scoring and the bar will NOT be located in the ballroom.
