Rim of the World Rally and Subaru is really putting on the dog, and all
the local I-Club people are warmly invited to come out and watch.
We will be offering a printed program at the Holiday Inn with detailed info
about the spectator opportunities. We have worked hard to greatly
expand the number of spectator locations. We have so many you could
not visit them all. This is to try to create a big more elbow room and
lessen the parking problems. When you get to the hotel, you will find
public parking in a larger dirt lot on the far side of the super-stage
area. It is a short walk back to the hotel. Just follow the signs.
Once you have landed you will want to buy a program for a buck to
get all the detailed maps of each area. Then you need to develop
a stradegy for viewing, like I said, you can't go everywhere. We have
four sites Friday night and four more on saturday. Some of the viewing
will require cutting out early from the superstages, so be warned.
Many of the stages are being sponsored by your local Sube dealers,
who are helping out to allow us to make your rally experenice safe,
fun and comfortable. Those porta-potties aren't free! There is one
more possible fee involved. To park in the National Forest you everyone
needs a NFS pass. If you have an annual pass that will work fine. We
will have the boy scouts selling daily passes at each area as well as at
the hotel. So don't forget to bring your annual or be prepared for a $5
daily fee.
When you head into the mountians you should be prepared for heat, cold,
precipitation, wind, dust, etc. So bring a hat, sunscreen, water, maybe
both long and short pants and shirts, a jacket, water and maybe some
food. We will have concessions at some sites. You should also wear
sturdy shoes, because there is some rugged terrain in spots.
Looking forward to meeting as many people as possible.
And thank your local Sube dealer who helped to keep our costs low.

For a real treat be sure to see Petter Solberg's run at the superstage,
and hang out at the north end of the course. Beyond that my lips are
sealed!
