Update on Rally School
As we completed the planning process for the
school, we found that there was more material that really needed to be
presented. We've adjusted the schedule to finish up at 4pm on 7/29, the Thursday
preceding Maine Forest.
School participants intending to run Maine Forest as National ProRally
competitors are advised to submit their license applications to Denver by 7/16,
otherwise SCCA will require an additional $25 expediting fee. A note should be
included indicating that the applicant will be attending the Pro Rally school on
7/29. Denver will fax a list of license holders to Maine Forest on Friday 7/30.
There are still openings for the school but we already have a number of paid
entries and over 15 students indicating that they will attend. Spots will be
held as a courtesy but checks must be received by 7/16
If you are in need of an application, please contact Holly O'Neil,
registrar, at:
