Wild West Rally is running Plan B

PlanB

2006 Wild West rally plan B

Simpson/Green Diamond has pulled the road use permit for the rally. The
first notification of this decision came Monday and as you can imagine,
the committee has been scrambling to find alternative roads while our
appeal was pending, with unfortunately no success. We don't yet know if
our 11th hour appeal to the President of the company will succeed. This
message is being sent with the assumption that our appeal will not be
successful.

I will send a e-mail to all if we get the roads. If so go to your
originally assigned Rendezvous point. If you do not receive such notice
or if you were not already assigned to a stage captain/rendezvous, meet
at the ORV at 7:30 AM. You can be deployed to the woods from there in
the events the woods are available.

Unless you hear differently, we will be implementing the following Plan
B.

Friday events will proceed as scheduled. The press stage will be held on
Rick Schmelling’s property located on SE Ellis Rd.(directions below).

Saturday, all stages will be at the ORV park. All workers will be
admitted to the park for free, but are encouraged to bring a toy for
“Toys for Tots” who will be collecting toys at the Park. Workers may
enter the park and sign the waivers and get your wristbands and T-shirts
beginning at 07:30 AM. Enter through the service crew gate.

Sunday, all stages will be at the Pacific Raceways in Kent. The schedule
of events for Sunday will be announced Saturday at the ORV park.
