That's right, the 100 Acre Wood ClubRally is back for another year! It's taking place February 24-25th this year and the presenters are already looking for people interested in working or helping out.

For those who haven't been to a Rally or helped out, it is a definite blast.

PRESS RELEASE
The premiere United States national rally series is coming to the Ozark foothills of Missouri. The 2006 Rally-America calendar will now include two new events, one of which is the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood, to be held on February 24 – 25, 2006. This year the rally now stands as the second event of the calendar year, taking place in late winter. The rally will also be host to the regional rally national championship. Top drivers out of five different classes of competition vehicles will come from regions across the United States to crown a 2005 Regional National Champion.

For any newcomers to rallying, a rally consists of "transit zones" and "special stages". A transit zone has the rally teams on the roads with the general public following the rules of the road and merely gets the competitors from one special stage to another. Special stages are temporarily closed-to-the-public sections of roads where competitors are allowed to travel as fast as they safely can, started one minute apart, between the start and the finish of the stage. Trained, expert volunteers ensure the safety of the public and the competitors and provide a timing mechanism to score the event on the heavily manned special stages. The total elapsed times for each team over all the special stages will determine both individual class and overall victories in the event. The composite times for both rallies will crown a winner for five nationally recognized classes.

Trespassers Wil is a Coefficient 2 rally. (The Coefficient level is determined by the number of special stage miles in the event. A Coefficient 2 has 30 to 65 stage miles.) This event will begin on Friday afternoon in downtown Steelville. The 100 Acre Wood is a Coefficient 3 rally (which has 65 to100 stage miles). Contestants, a driver and a co-driver per car, will start in downtown Salem on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and race throughout the day, passing multiple spectator points, before returning to Salem that evening.

Anyone interested in helping with this event may contact Curt Faigle at 314-839-2701 or curt@100aw.org to volunteer. Your help is greatly needed as well over 200 volunteers will be required to staff the courses on February 24 and 25. Additional information may be obtained by visiting the http://www.100aw.org website.
