Rally in the 100 Acre Wood

As the rally fans may know, the next round of the Rally-America national championship is coming up Feb. 23-24 in and around Salem, MO. Salem is about 2hrs sw of StL.
I'm new around this board as I own one of those evil blue cars, but want to make sure the red car drivers are in the know too.
We always can use more volunteers to help out, whether it's one or both days, we'd appreciate the help. Road Marshals are always needed and no experience required. If you haven't been to a rally, a Marshal sits at intersecting roads to the rally route and keeps non-competitors/locals off of the route and ensures the safety that the road is closed. Plus they get their own spot in the forest to spectate from, free tshirt, lunch and invitation to the free after party Sat. night. Another job we could use help with is Control workers. They time the cars in and out of the stage and is good place to see the cars and drivers up close.

There will also be 4-5 spectator areas if you don't want to volunteer and want to check it out. Those areas will be posted on the website in a week or two and spectator guides will be available at the rally to assist in finding out.

Volunteers usually follow their stage captain out to their spot so you get to see a couple stages of the course.
The rally is held on public roads and when the rally is over they are open again. BUT we highly encourage you to use some sense if you do so. Many specators have ended up in ditches because they want to slide around and have some fun.
