Nemadji Trail Rally 1A/1B June 23rd 2012 Location: Duquette, MN The regional rallies we've all come to love and appreciate are back in 2012 with competitor written notes and a two pass recce! Each Course Total course distance: 26.76 miles Number of special stages: 2 Number of gravel stages: 2 Total distance of Special Stages: 16.58 miles Type of road surface: Hard packed class 5 gravel, occasionally rocky, tight and twisty. Word on notes: You are NOT required to use the competitor written notes. The notes will be provided to all competitors at NO ADDITIONAL COST and are 100% optional. You still have the option to use tulips. During registration you will make your selection. If you elect notes you will be required to complete a two pass recce. Mandatory recce: Each team that elects to run notes during the rally MUST successfully complete a 2 pass recce before the event. The recce will take place the morning of the event and conducted in a parade formation. You may use your competition vehicle. Any violations during recce may result in immediate disqualification from the rally. No refunds if disqualified. Novice school: There will be a mandatory novice school the morning of the event. If you elect to use notes for the first time you are required to attend. If you have not participated in an event with recce you are required to attend. Word from the Chairman: Offering competitor written notes at Nemadji Trail 1A/1B is only a trial. If we have a positive experience providing notes we will consider offering them at Nemadji 2 in July. The notes provided to you will include basic instruction information such as mileage, corners, and crests and must not be compared to the stage notes offered at other Rally America events.

wooooo! Tentatively in for working. That's the weekend after I get back from Redmond so it might be a little tight, but I'm all over this if I can swing it. I'm still need my fix after last summer's shenanigans.
The Swift is nearly ready to go. Can't wait to hit the stages for the first time in the drivers seat.
I might come up with my kid for a day. There is no way I'm getting away with heading up for the weekend after only being home one day. Marriage fail. I think I can swing showing up and watching for a couple hours if I take my son though. Pretty sure he'd dig it. He was all kinds of pissed off last time he saw the old Ziptie car at a Morries event and I had to explain we just got to look at the cars and they wouldn't actually be racing that day.
nemadji is a no spectator event (meaning you can't just show up anytime, watch and then leave). The only way to actually see the cars racing is to volunteer as a stage marshal. It's really the same thing except you have a better view than a spectator point but you're committed to being there for the entire race. (still doable as a 1 day) http://nemadjitrail.com/volunteers/
Ah, bummer. I wouldn't be comfortable having my five year old with me while marshaling. Thanks for the heads up.
