The Rover-Landers of BC

There is a need for about 20 more VOLUNTEERS at the rally in MERRITT. oct 1 and 2. here is the link for the form and info\
I am sure they need more HAM RADIO OPPERATORS. its a lot of fun and great radio work, if the room is shared some of the cost is repaid.
It will be my 6th RACE to help at.
Hope to see some ROVERLANDERS there.

After all the fun at the NWC I decided to help out again at the Pacific Forest Rally and signed up today.

Are there others holding back?????

I see there is also a WCRA rally in Hope on 26th September.

What is the difference between the Canadian Rally Championship (in Merrit) and the West Coast Rally Association (in Hope)? Different associations? Same group? Anyone have any info to share?

Cheers,
Andy

No idea what the difference is Andy, but if you are keen to bring your boys up to the Hope event we could meet you there. You could come by the house for a barbq later too.

Hey Andy.
The PACIFIC FOREST RALLY. is the BIG one for the west for canadian points.,
the one in hope IS a great place to come out and play, with a car. get some good photos. and learn some things. I think there is a session on what is involved in VOLUNTEERING.
I hope to make it if i am not working.
The upcoming races in MERRITT. will involve about 30 teams/. very exciting racing. races at night are a hoot to watch or work.
hope you get the bug. it takes so much work. volunteers are aporeciated.
all the best

From the RallyBC site this description applies to the Rallycross event in Hope.

"Rally Sprints are competition events where participants compete, one at a time, against the clock and total time taken over the competitive sections of the event determines placing. Rally Sprints are both a level of competitive event on their own and a development even preparing competitors for participation in performance rally events. Rally Sprints are meant to be designed to accent the development of vehicle handling skills while limiting both top and average speeds attainable by competitors.
Rally Sprints are tow basic types: (a) single course at a single venue (hereafter called Rally Cross) or (b) multiple courses at either a single venue or multiple venues which follow a rally format of stage and transit (hereafter called Rally Sprint)."

The Forest Rally is a full stage rally, where among other things all competitors will be on the course at the same time.

I'll be heading up to the PFR to help out on the Saturday with a buddy... I've been to watch rallyX in Hope, and it was a good time... I think they will also be talking to PFR volunteers at that event.
