Team O'Neil Regional Rally 08

[katnip]

SAVE the date January 19, 2008

The 2nd Annual Team O'Neil Rally will be held January 19, 2008 in Dalton, New Hampshire. If you enjoyed the last event, this one looks to be even better. More roads, snow (providing mother nature cooperates) and some of the best back roads in New Hampshire will make this an event to remember.

Entry forms, supps, etc., will be online as soon as possible. There will be a limited number of entries.

This is only a note, refer to supps when posted for complete/official information:
DOT street legal studs will be allowed on 2wd vehicles only. Any other type of stud will not be permitted.

REMINDER!!!!!!
FFI 38-1 Licensed head and neck restraints will be required for both the driver and co-driver, NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Workers are need, please email either info@teamoneil.com or rallykat158@yahoo.com if you wish to participate in this event as a worker.

Thanks, Kathy

id love to work this....but at the same time id also love to shoot it....hmmmm...

[Blix666]

maybe you can get in as "press" and get some REALLY sweet shots

[BoostAddict5]

[Drew84]

From what I heard last years was pretty laid back, I'm sure you can work and shoot at the same time. Thats what I was going to do. I kind of want to see how a rally is run. I'm hoping to be involved in next years NEFR.

[BoostAddict5]

[Drew84]

I'm deffinatly down for it.

[409industries]

sounds like a ton of fun...

[lminette]

sounds like a ton of fun...
I agree. I watched Redline TV :oops: (yes I know) last night and they had a special on Team Oneil's rally school. Dave Mirra was attending the school, and then he got to drive Ken Blocks rally car. I'm finding it interesting that a lot of older extreme sports guys are looking into rally. I think that it is great. It will definately bring more attention to the sport :headbang: which is what we need!

[Blix666]

what's Redline TV?

[lminette]

It's a TV show on speed channel. Most of the times it can be pretty lame but they've featured rally a couple of times, as well as some othe grass roots racing. It's really hit or miss. But hey at least Tanner Foust is the narrator!

[james.c.obrien]

Woot - just booked the room (big pimpin at the Hampton Inn)! Will be four of us coming, and two of us working.

Has anyone heard from the volunteer coordinator? I volunteered for the 00 car, what with my badass RallyArmor flaps installed :headbang:, but haven't heard anything yet :)

This is a stage rally not a rally-x, its only open to people with a log booked
rally car. I'm pretty sure about the latter.

[james.c.obrien]

Yeah - by "rocking the wagon" I meant "driving it to the race to work/spectate".

[james.c.obrien]

Don't worry - I'll be repping the DI wagon style, fo-shizzle.

[/ghetto]

Ah, well, you're gonna get dirty at the BMG show, only instead of ice, mud, and slush, you'll get paint, confetti, and who the hell knows what else.

Drew, you still on? Sounds like the MA representation is all on you now.

[Drew84]

Yeah I'm still down for it.

[BoostAddict5]

[katnip]

I have turned over volunteer names to L. Mark Stone our Clerk of Course, he will probably be in touch with you all soon.

The worker meeting is now Friday night from 7-8, it was too hectic doing it Saturday morning.

[Drew84]

Hope I'm not working I need to get the new schedule for work.

[BoostAddict5]

i gotta put in for it off this week....

[Drew84]

I got it off, I need to find a Hotel and I was planning on Skiing Cannon on Sunday.

[james.c.obrien]

Info on new safety system rental assistance here:

http://www.specialstage.com/?p=207

They need a total of 15 entries by Monday (1/7), and they're hoping that by helping offset the cost of the safety stuff, they'll remove what may be the biggest barrier for people wanting to run the rally.

[BoostAddict5]

any info on the times that everything is getting underway and stuff?..i gotta 2 hour drive saturday morning so i wanna make sure im there in time....also meeting places and shenanegans?

EDIT:...scratch that...found it...lol....http://rally-america.com/event.ONEIL.2008.php

do we know of spectator areas?...or is it just find a place in the woods

[Blix666]

I got it off, I need to find a Hotel and I was planning on Skiing Cannon on Sunday.

cannon's good! i'm jealous

[james.c.obrien]

Pay very close attention to whether or not they get the 15 total entries. Sucks to say, but if they don't get the 15, the rally will have to be canceled.

We'll know by Monday evening, Tuesday morning at the latest.

[BoostAddict5]

make sure you let us know....i dont wanna drive up there for nothing...lol

[Drew84]

cannon's good! i'm jealous

Don' fret, the jerk I work with switched the schedules on me, I have to work now. However I have both days for Stafford off now.

[Blix666]

oh cool...so, you down to share hotel room?

[Drew84]

^ Yes, and only that. No spooning.

[katnip]

we didn't get the 15 entries, but we are racing just the same!!!!!!!''

thanks, kat

[Blix666]

^ Yes, and only that. No spooning.
