2010 Ojibwe Forest Rally Weekend Competitor Registration Open

I'm pleased to announce that competitor registration is now open for the 2010 Ojibwe Forest Rally Weekend. You'll find the the two single-day, regional, Coefficient 3, events listed as Paul Bunyan's Ride and Headwaters at http://rally-america.com. Early entry is $350* per event, and will be available until 8/4 5PM. After that, the entry fees increase to $450* per event.

Stage Notes will be available, with one caveat. In order for us to offer Stage Notes at an affordable price, we must have 20 PAID entries, that have purchased Stage Notes, by the early entry cutoff of 8/4. Stage Notes cost $165 for both events, total. Sorry, there is no single event fee for Notes.

EDIT: There is no refund for Stage Notes, if we move forward with generating them. However, if we do not meet the minimum number of entries for Notes, and you did purchase them, you will be refunded.

*Entry fees reflect cash/check payment. There is a surcharge if you choose pay by credit card. Credit card entry fees are $361 before 8/4 and $464 after 8/4.

As always, we can't put on this event without the help of our amazing workers. That being said, worker registration is also open. Please visit http://www.rallymasterpro.com/workers/ and sign up to help with the event. Never worked a rally? That's okay. We'll tell you what you need to know.

The Ojibwe Forest Rally Weekend will, once again, be headquartered out of Bemidji, MN. Keep an eye on http://www.ojibweforestrally.com/ for more details, to be posted soon!

thanks breon!! As many of you know, Ojibwe is in a transitional year this year having been made regional only. We're looking to put on a really great event regardless. Please sign-up to volunteer as marshaling will be the best way to see the stages this year.

GET THE WORD OUT! Look forward to seeing you in the woods!

 

we're very excited to be able to race a 2 day rally that's close to home. After towing out to Atlanta, MI; Salem, MO; and Wellsboro, PA this year it will be nice to have a short drive!

 

Yes! Can't wait! I've been planning on taking half a week of vacation for this since I marshalled for the first time last year! Marshalling is definitely the best way to see it. You're not fighting crowds and you can chill in the woods with your buds while you wait for the rally cars to come around. Plus, you actually drive on the stages themselves to get to your marshal point.

I'm toying with the idea of working time controls and start or finish this time around.

 

Mark Larson and I checked out the roads today and I'm happy to report that they are in FANTASTIC condition. Let's hope that the DNR or Mother Nature don't muck them up in the next month and a half.

We're using a wide range of road types from scary fast to tight and technical. It's a pretty good mix. Plus, we're using one of my all-time favorite roads

looking forward to this really enjjoyed last year! coming down with a bunch guys from mb to help out.

This was one of the corners we were at last year:

 

Bannering!

For anyone looking ahead at taking time off to volunteer, if you have the time and want to help banner, I will be headed into the woods on Thursday, August 19th to banner and would really appreciate help. With enough help, we can have a leisurely day driving stages, hanging banner and get to sleep in on Friday/Saturday. Will be leaving Lincoln Gas and Bait in Cushing mid morning, I will pick a time as we get closer but I'm thinking 10 a.m. ish.

Thanks in advance for coming out to help.

Amy

 

Count me in.

 

Excellent! Should be another fun day in the woods.

I've updated my original post.

 

is it possible to get maps yet for the event? big plus would be gps coordinates.

 

What kind of maps and GPS coordinates are you looking for? We need to keep some of that info hush hush and out of the competitors' hands

 

just the spectator maps for this year if they had gps coordinates that would be awesome, if you havent made up the maps yet one suggestion is dont do them like last year where the text boxes were covering parts of the map.

 

We're bringing it back! The Ojibwe Forest Rally Weekend will now consist of the following rallies...

Paul Bunyan's Ride, Friday 8/20
Headwaters, Saturday 8/21

I've updated the original post.

 

and we already have 12 entries! whoopah!

 

so who's coming up to volunteer? You should be making your reservations if you haven't - hotels are filling up or full already!

 

Wish I could make it this year, but isn't going to happen. Hopefully can make it back up in 2011. Has been too long since I was there.

I crewed for Pablo in 2001 & 2003

Pay hotels are overrated. We camped out last year and that was half the fun!

 

Agreed, we stayed at the KOA. Sadly I won't be able to make it up there this year, my sister decided to have her wedding that weekend...

 

just an fyi for those who aren't as keen on camping. Camping is fun, we did a whole week for STPR. We'll be at rally hq though for convenience and because we're on the organizer committee. We hope to see many of you out there volunteering!

 

So you guys are camping it this year? Which campground? I'd be down for doing that instead this year to save on costs and it would be fun!

 

no we're staying at rally hq - holiday inn express

 

its fun working a start. and finish.

 

rally rally rally! we can always use more volunteers for rally rally rally, sign up!!

 

Signed-up. Most likely will be staying at the Holiday Inn as well!

 

will be signing up later on tonight and trying to get a few more from fargo to come w/

 

As much as I would love to be out in the woods for rally, I am going to be stuck here as my sister decided the weekend of OFR is the weekend she wants to get married...

 

bemidji is a nice wedding location!

 

This is probably a dumb question, but when is the rally?

 

august 20-21

 

like carl said it is aug. 20 & 21. i am for sure planning on being there for the saturday stages to volunteer. i hope to be there for friday too but cant be 100% sure.

 

Are there going to be any sponsored factory teams this year? Or no since its not a national event.

 

Travis Pastrana, Ken Block, Dave Mirra etc. will not be there, not sure if this answers your question but i think thats what you were gettin at

 

here is where the entry list is for the event:

Hey Greg, you're not goin up early to help with the banners are you? I'm kinda thinkin I'd like to help do that

 

i want to but i dont think i can afford to be gone for 3-4 days.

 

So this is going to be my first time working at a rally and will be brining a couple friends with. Do we all need to register to work or just myself?

 

you all need to register, just make sure to note the names of those you want to work with

 

Thanks carl. Any issues bringing a dog with or is that a no-go when working?

 

i don't see a problem as long as it doesn't get out on stage

 

Looks like Jim and I will be running as long as the truck is ready to go. With help from a few of the ZRT boys we should be good to go.

 

i was on the opposite side of the road! that was such a gnarly crash!

 

i was the marshall standing next to the ford camera guy for this roll. rear window glass pile at my feet kind of freaked me out a bit.

 

I bet dude! this was like 10 min after i showed up, talk about getting stoked right away. haha
