Looks like it was a good event....just a shame their were no evo's :(
My feelings exactly. :( I went to another rallycross event this weekend up in Vermont and there were two Galant VR4's though. :thumbsup:
Here's another great opportunity for us northeastern rally fans. I am signed up as a worker and it's the best way to enjoy a big time stage rally on the cheap.

On September 29th to October 1st, the biggest rally event in NY history will take place in and around Monticello in beautiful Sullivan County. One of the best ways to spectate the event up close and personal is to be a volunteer worker. You get complimentary meals, [the firehouse breakfast is awesome], put up in a motel overnight, in other words really appreciated as a volunteer worker. You need no prior experience. First time workers are usually spectator control marshals. You basically put on a supplied orange vest and keep an eye out for spectator safety by making sure spectators stay in designated areas. I'm working on my fifth year there and have moved on to start and finish timing control positions. Much more responsibility, but I like the challenge. In any case, this year's event will be the largest and most exciting ever, with two "Super Special" stages to start and end the rally in front of the air conditioned grandstands at Monticello Raceway with fireworks, etc.
The following is a copy of the worker invite I got today from the organizers.
