Does anyone know how many cars are entered in the rally? the web site says 10, but it hasent been updated for a while.

thanks in advance

So far I remember it was 14 cars confirmed.
May be I' am wrong.

Don't think I don't appreciate the effort put in by all those involved. The clarity and detail of the results page, and the speed at which it was put up, is testament to the dedication of the people in charge of the web site.

I was able to find all the information I needed eventually, but I was also telling non-rally people about the rally and suggesting they come out. I would have liked to tell them to check the web site for spectator info, but the spectator page seemed to be lacking basic spectator information, like where to go and at what time. Having a user friendly (idiot proof) web page is important if you want to attract non-rally people to the event.

AlanO did a superb job of supplying the relevant information in a clear and concise manner once the oversight was corrected. Thank-you for that.

Norman

Thanks for the kind words.

The club's website (including the Black Bear webpage) is my responsibility and I apologise that more detailed spectator information was not available.  I was out of the country for most of May and June and spectator info was one of the things on the to-do list before I left.  Unfortunately I forgot to post it and compounded this error by forgetting to tell Alex (who did a great job in my absence - thanks!) that it needed to be added.

I hope everyone enjoyed the rally.  Thanks for supporting the event!

Yup, we all know how "far gone" Craig is!   But he has a reasonable amount of company there. As for the "local MCO cell", I think we have one member in the TO area . . . don't make us call on him for help.  

Hope all those new to the sport enjoyed spectating at Black Bear. For sure, for us workers, it was a blast!!

I think that you will find in Europe that the rules related to liability are quite different.

Therefore NA rallies are having to be quite careful about where they let people go. I believe that the two deaths at the Ski Sawmill Club Rally in the US last year, has had a big effect on spectating and the expectations of organizers with regards to crowd control. It is a pain, because those of us who do crowd control are constantly dealing with people that say, "I was allowed to go there last year!". However, if we don't do it we either won't have spectating or we won't have rallies

Ah, I have indeed succumbed to the dark side. I was thinking only of the rally guys . . . er, rally guy.

For those not inclined to check the link, here is what the driver of the Jamaican team said on the MCO Rally forum:


Thanks everyone for your kind words.....I must say that the reception was very warm from the Canadians to cancel out the cool weather conditions. Even though it was not a big event, the organization was one of the best we have experienced. Congrats to the organizers and marshalls on a wonderful event.

Special thanks to Stewart Hoo and the Can-Jam Motorsport crew for getting the car prepared on time and the excellent service on the rally.
