Title: Tall Pines Congratulations
Post by Doug_Woods on 12/01/5 at 13:18:51

For the past three years, I have worked at the Tall Pines as a Steward. I have had the opportunity to see some of the incredibly detailed work that goes into the organization of this event.

The organizers of the rally and all members of the MLRC should be extremely proud of what has been achieved with the Tall Pines.

In almost every facet of the rally organization, the Tall Pines continues to set the standard for all other events in the Canadian Rally Championship.

Congratulations to everyone involved.

Doug Woods

A friend of mine that works rallies, road and stage, but never worked Pines before called me last night and told me how totally amazed he was at the level of organisation and knowledge. He said he'll be back next year for sure. He was totally blown away by it. Well done to Rich, Donna, Ross, and the army of volunteers. I'll be back next year, too. And this year was 'classic' for weather. Totally brilliant.

I'd like to thank the organisers as well.
This was my first Tall Pines as a competitor, and it sure was a memorable one. I'll never forget it.
They even managed to organise the perfect weather, well done!

We sent this message to Richard at the Tall Pines Website at the conclusion of the competition, but thought we should post it here.

"Pass on our congratulations to JB
(but he is too darn old for this stuff)

A great job by MLRC, makes us proud of what we started.

Watched the results stage by stage (so many familiar stage names!) and found it quite entertaining.

We are in AZ with our RV and will be out on the Rally USA Dec 9 -11 for some nostalgic fun.

Our best to all the old & new MLRC members". ;)

BTW:

Will someone please tell Terry Epp and CARS that it is the "The RALLY of the TALL PINES" and NOT the "Tall Pines Rally" The "TPR" name was the choice of the City of Brampton, the first year sponsor.

When the rally was moved to Orillia for the second and successive years, we changed it to "RTP" and, to our knowledge, and judging by the event publicity material, the name remains the same.

Seems only TE & CARS can't get it right! >:(
