This might be too early but I'm always looking forward to the RallyFest. Any word on possibly having a Rally Fest prior to the engagement for the weekend at one of the local dealerships? Its a great door opener for enthusiast like myself to get a up close opportunity to meet the drivers and cars. If no one knows I'm sure Scott Putnam does, I'll have to check if him of not.
I do not know about RallyFest. I talked to one of the organizers and it appears there will not be a display in downtown Mpls this year. That does cost money and the rally lost too much money last year. Here's hoping a big Max Attack field helps get the Ojibwe committee back on the correct side of the balance sheet.
like bubba said, we r planning on leaving thursday night. do you know what time they are flying in??? maybe i can try to get somethign to work out for these guys. and if for some reason i cant set up a ride for these guys, i maybe be able to try and get them a good deal on a rental if they want it, i have a freind that works at a car rental place!
i do know that there will be some of the car in the rally at the car show my work is putting on the week before in fargo
that's exactly the kind of stuff they need if they can't find a ride. I'll get in touch with Mitch (just ordered a bunch of new hankooks from him today)
i'm getting ready. just picked up some of my tires and wheels from the shop (had to get a few tubed). 4 new hankooks also ordered today oh yea, this is a good sign 6 new Braid Acropolis 15x6.5 wheels they look so pretty, almost feel bad about destroying them haha. I really like these wheels - will probably stick with these from now on when ordering new
Still need help for Saturday and or sunday? I should be able to make it up Friday AFTER work.... willing to help keep people back or what ever...
just shoot me a pm and let me know what's up and i will start trying to find a way to help a brotha out!
Well, the rally runs on Saturday, so if you can get up there in the morning, there will be corners for you to work on. Or if nothing else, you can ride along with someone that already has a assignment. As for sunday, it would just be Amy and the banner crew pulling down the banner tape and everyone else driving home.

hey I have work off this weekend. My cabin is right by the track, where can I sign up to work? I would like to be on the course somewhere. any help with this? edit: I think I figured it out.... i sign up on the website? is this correct?
I am also working on getting details for rallyfest. So far there will not be anything downtown like last year, but they will more than likely be some kind of show at Tonka. But like I said, the details are being worked out as we speak and hopefully by next week we will have something concrete. Russ
looking forward to the rally this year! we will be crewing for the mighty mayhem mustang! I am really looking forward to the party saturday night!
is anyone staying in the Park Rapids / Nevis area? I am not sure who all is going to be at my cabin but I am thinking a campfire and beer is always a good idea up north.
Yay! Kevin gets to drink................legally Are we referring to Ziptie? Mayhem? Both? I believe the answer is YES No, I believe that Kevin (or someone) will be pulling me in the red "I be drunken-vagon" wagon across the street to our hotel room.
THE ANSWER DEFINITELY IS YES :yumyum: GREEN SIDE UP!!! awesome - see you there Tim. don't forgot your camera!
Ziptie+Mayhem+Ojibwe afterparty=need for non-motorized wheeled conveyance from curling club to hotel. What do the Mayhem members think? Is it time to indoctrinate Ziptie into the order of the 1812? By the pitcher? This is the result of the last night of 1812s by the pitcher.
You have to keep people off of the road. Some corners you might have a random show up, some corners you will have wildlife show up, some corners you rattle off 1500-2000 pics. I think even with the years I ran sweep, I don't think I have come home with less than 1000 pics. So as long as you can keep people off the road (if anyone even shows up), you can take pics. If no one shows up, that is just that much more time taking pics. Russ
I know of the beer store, but haven't got the chance to go there... yet! I think samples should be in order!! :biggrin:
Oh I think we are all in for a treat because what I have brewing up in this little head of mine is something quite outrageous to celebrate a certain someone's 30th birthday...:laugh::laugh::biggrin:
I don't drink, if you guys can whistle up a big enough vehicle I will volunteer as a designated driver/EMT
The hotel is stumbling distance from the Curling club, but it sounds like we might need the EMT services for at least one of us.
lol..i was NOT referring to me! There's certain members of the ziptie crew that do strange things when they get...shall we say...tipsy. I on the otherhand get rowdy...then go into pass out mode
Are you saying that some members like to bend over with there pants around there ankles when they get drunk? meaning they turn ghey? lol the true person always comes out when you drink! i guess that says a lot about the ziptie guys.... lol
we could have him use one of our trucks and trailers. drunken rally hayride through downtown bemidji anyone?
