looks like they (the organizers) lost the use of the angeles forest roads.

all they are gonna do is the stadium type racing... sigh... cant blame them i guess.

used to volunteer for this event but since this year, it's all concentrated in one place, they wont need jobs like i volunteered for... (too bad, i was gonna use the RIM as an excuse to buy a new radio... lol).

I'm there again, just can't seem to stay away.

At least my job is generally all going to be within sight this year, but I'll miss those roads!

 

were you the one that told me that theyre looking for a new park for this, or x games?

anyways that sucks, ive always wanted to go to this. i want to see the crossover races

 

wow that blows looks like service wont be as busy with the rallymoto format seems kinda lame, its turned into a big air contest I like the hdnet brodcast thats kinda cool

 

where does this take place?

 

It takes place in Lancaster, CA. I don't know if I'm going to go this year. It'll be the first time I missed it in three years. Last year was an absolute riot. So much so, that one of the attendeesdoes not drink to this day. I'm really bummed about that J. With the format being what it is this year, it just takes sooo mouch out of the event. Sucks really. The worst part about it, the promoters couldn't permit the use of the Forest but the forest is being used as an ORV park. NO high speeds allowed.

 

Same here...

 

There is going to be a Magellon adventure rally, If I weren't in charge of the SS that's what I'd be doing....

 

I saw that mentioned on the RIM website, but I haven't been able to find any other info on it. Oh well, we'll probably stick with the one in Laughlin later this year.

 

I believe Neil and I are entered although I have a couple of schedule conflicts to work out.

Mike

 

Schedule conflicts? wtf mate? I guess I can strap a blow-up sheep into the navvie seat and it'll be just as good.

Yes, we're entered.

 

Maybe even a bit faster? certainly easier to have your way with during the after event celebration!


I just got an e-mail saying they still need volunteers for bannering and set up on Friday, as well as for various facilities and support functions on Saturday and Sunday, if we can get 4 more volunteers from BAIC we can get listed as a supporting club....

gonna be at Cochella that weekend in Palm Springs, maybe swing by on the way back north to pick up any hungover stragglers

 

Didn't you just sell your rally car? You guys still runnin'?

 

yes, we're still running. I'll be offically turning the car over to the new owner at the end of the rally, providing I don't wreck the car.
