They had that at Cherokee in 2002. What a wild ride that was! I can't believe that nobody fell off the truck there! I like the idea of having spectator areas further in the stages at Maine. Would even like to see some routes setup for people to come and watch at an intersection at an access road. Pack up the grandstands from the local highschool football field and set them up at the crossroads!!

I totally agree. I've probably bumped into you many times. Same with other locals. We should go through with that plan to get us Boston area rally folk together at F1 Boston or something. Hell, I'm having a poker nite this Wednesday (7/23) if you or others wish to show up.
Anyhoo, I'm staying at Sunday River (Thurs thru Sun). 617-281-4012 is my cell #. I'm game for meeting wherever in Maine, or even before. Will be at the banquet too. Shoot me a phone call or e-mail if you wish. We'll definately have to work on meeting somewhere up there.
Pete
