After Eric and I measured the GPTPR route yesterday we have some exciting details about the rally to announce! The new Field Stage is a little less than a mile long, very smooth and twisty with interesting elevation changes and should be very fast. The whole stage is a lot like last year's field portion of the rally- if you liked that, you'll love this stage. Because of the new Field Stage, the Park Stage is now .40 mile shorter than the last two years, much smoother and more like a continuos stage road than before- there should be no course-following confusion. With substantial grading and filling by our gracious host Bob Schneider the stage will be much easier to negotiate than the previous two years. That said, there will still be a few places where caution must be observed to be successful, but there's no doubt this will be the most enjoyable Park Stage yet. Because the two stages together total 2.5 miles, we will run each stage twice in each direction for a total of 8 stages per rally. There will be a Main Service in the middle of each rally and time for servicing in the transits after the second and sixth stages. As before, our CRO, Dennis Martin, will be available in the Service Area to counsel teams throughout the event. The Supp. Reg.'s and a detailed Stage Schedule will be posted on the RA and WAG websites early this week.
So get your entries in asap and help make this the best GPTPR yet!
Please pass this on to anyone you think interested.
Press on,
Dave.
