    In case you haven't noticed the banner ads, we're looking for volunteers to help staff Rally Minnesota in Park Rapids, May 20th ans 21st.

    We need folks to help along the course, at intersections and ATV trails, at Spectator Areas, to help keep spectators safe, at start and finish controls, and even at the service area! We'll even need a few folks to put up and take down banner tape along the course.

    If you would to volunteer, please visit www.rallymasterpro.com to register, and visit www.RallyMinnesota.com for more information. We need lots of help!

    Nice vid! If we didn't have other plans already, we'd totally be there to work it.

    Yes! Please come out and help out with our rally season opener near Park Rapids. Definitely some of my favorite rally roads in the nation...

    If you are interested in helping banner, please send me a PM or text or catch me on Facebook. I'm hoping to have a leisurely day of bannering in the woods on Thursday, May 19th. Meet up around 10:30 South of Motley, MN and caravan to the woods, if you live up there we can meet you along the way. This is how I got my start in rally volunteering and I've never regretted it.

    If you aren't sure what all volunteering involves, check out this link to a summary I wrote a few years ago.

    I'm also looking for a codriver for both days for Advance 1, checking banners ahead of the competitor cars. Let me know if you're interested in that as well.

    I wish this didn't start in northwest bumblef#$% on a Friday morning. That effectively requires volunteers to take 1-2 days off so they can donate time and effort.

    Hopefully I'll make it up there for some spectating on Saturday. Maybe I can lend a hand with tear down or something.

    No different than a typical 2 day rally (friday - saturday, no where near a population center). Being involved in rally in any degree takes some dedication and it is appreciated!

    Cars won't start until after 3 PM on Friday. When we get closer to the date, we will have more information for working the event. But if you can only help Saturday, we get it. And we will take whatever we can get! :)

    Stay tuned to: http://rallyminnesota.com/workers/worker-info/ for more information!

    Hard to believe that Rally Minnesota is only a week away. Volunteering is an essential part of putting on a rally and the best seat in the house!

    For anyone who wants to get out on the roads, at a reasonable pace, before the competitors. Please come help banner the side roads and trails either Thursday and/or Friday.

    I will be going up on Thursday midday to start bannering and then again Friday morning. Please let me know if you are available and wish to help on Thursday and/or Friday. Thursday we will meet up around 10 a.m. in Lincoln, MN, about 8 miles South of Motley on Hwy 10 (@ the BP station). Friday meet up will be at the Worker Registraion at the Rally Headquarters, the C’mon Inn in Park Rapids at 9:30 a.m.

    Please let me know (pm, txt, facebook) if you're planning on coming up Thursday so I wait for you before heading to Park Rapids.

    See you next week,

    p.s. don't forget we also debanner on Sunday before heading home if you wan't another chance to get out in the woods. Meet up or debannering will again be at Rally Headquarters, the C’mon Inn in Park Rapids.
