Sandblast Rally 2007 Rally Guide
Sandblast Rally 2007 Sandblast Rally 2007 Rally Guide February 17th 2007 1 Introduction This document has no regulatory power and is to be used for information only. Sections 1 through 21 and the appendices conform to FIA WRC Appendix 3 regulations for Rally Guides. 1.1 Welcome Kicking off the NASA rally season, Sandblast Rally continues to be a cornerstone of the East Coast Rally Championship. As event chairman, I’m honored to welcome competitors from many states to South Carolina. This year we increased the stage mileage. The organizing committee realizes that the competitor is looking for the most possible miles for the dollar. We continue to work toward getting permissions for more roads for 2008, and more political work in that area seems to be paying off. Additionally, we are working toward making Sandblast Rally even more friendly to novice and seasoned rallyists. To this end we have chosen to pattern all our documentation after the FIA World Rally Championship regulations. We hope that including information about the local resources both helps you enjoy your visit to South Carolina and increases the economic impact on the area around Cheraw and Patrick. I look forward to seeing you in February!

In only the second year of running, the event was tapped to become part of the national championship. Healey moved north to Pennsylvania in the mid-nineties and the rally lay dormant for several years. These first rallies differed from the current setup in that they started at noon and ran well into the night, using three or four stages run in complete darkness. In 2001 Charles Sherrill resurrected the event and ran similar stages as before. One of the busiest years was 2003 when the event ran twice in one year, spring and fall. The fall event was the second event sanctioned by the newly formed NASA Rally Sport organization. Rally Guide 5 Sandblast Rally 2007 The summer of 2005 saw Sherrill looking west and thinking of starting another rally. Thus the reigns of the rally were passed to the current organizer, Anders Green. The official rally name was simplified to “Sandblast Rally” at that time. In a strange six-degrees scenario, Green, purchased his first rally vehicle from Greg Healey, the original Sandblast Rally organizer. Two years before Sherrill resurrected Sandblast Rally, Green met and crewed for Sherrill in a rally that was near Healey’s new hometown in Pennsylvania. 1.3 2006 Sandblast Rally Summary The 2006 event was clearly dominated by four time winner Seamus Burke. Setting blazing stage times from the very start had Burke in the lead, and he stayed there all day. Running just behind Burke and steadily getting closer to him each stage, was Patrick Farrell. Unfortunately, the tough nature of the sand took a serious toll on Farrell’s gearbox, forcing withdrawal after four stages. That opened the door for Jeremy Drislane to move up to second place, and for Charles Sherrill, former event organizer, to demonstrate his excellent memory of these roads and jump into a podium position for the first time. 1.4 Past Sandblast Winners 2006 2005 2004 2003 Fall 2003 Spring 2002 2001 1996 1995 1994 Seamus Burke and Brian Sharkey Seamus Burke and Charles Bradley Seamus Burke and Charles Bradley Seamus Burke and Charles Bradley Seamus Burke and Emma Burke John Drislane and Ronan Burke Thomas Lawless and Cathal McCaire Paul Choiniere and Jeff Becker Paul Choiniere and Jeff Becker Paul Choiniere and Jeff Becker 1.5 Resident South Carolina Competitors 2007 • 2006 2005 2004 Driver Robert Maunz of Gaston, SC, with navigator Mark Sackett of Taylors, SC • Driver Tibor Von Denes of Charleston, SC • Driver Jason King of Goosecreek, SC and navigator Dennis Barfield of Goosecreek, SC • RallyMoto™ rider Brian Shaver of Cheraw, SC • Driver Robert Maunz of Gaston, with navigator Mark Sackett of Taylors, SC • Driver Jason King of Goosecreek, SC and navigator Dennis Barfield of Goosecreek, SC Navigator Dwain Cromer of Rockhill, SC Driver Jeff Field of Greenville, SC Rally Guide 6 1.6 Sandblast Rally 2007 East Coast Rally Championship History The East Coast Rally Champion began in 2004. That year, Sandblast Rally had the honor of being the first event of the first rally championship organized by NASA Rally Sport. Three other events followed, with the series traveling to Tennessee and New York. Again in 2005 the Sandblast Rally kicked off the season. This second year of the championship saw the series expand to five events. The series culminated with the well received International Rally New York which took place in northern New York. The year 2006 saw the ESRC grow even further with the addition of Rally West Virginia. This roads in West Virginia proved to be technical and popular and further increased the varied types terrain that competitors fight to conquer the ESRC. 2 Organizers Contact Details 2.1 Permanent Contact Details Sandblast Rally Anders Green 217 Caniff Lane Cary, NC 27519 Voice: 919.303.0218 Fax: 603.309.0218 [email protected] 2.2 Rally Headquarters Contact Details Inn Cheraw Hotel telephone: 800.535.8709 321 2nd Street Hotel Fax: 843.537.0227 Cheraw, SC 29520 Registration will not be at the hotel, but in downtown historic Cheraw, across from the Town Hall. 2.3 Media Contact Details Media personnel should contact Anders Green using the information in Section 2.1 Rally Guide 7 Sandblast Rally 2007 3 Rally Program and Critical Deadlines 3.1 Rally Program – Prior to Rally Week Friday, December 1, 2006 Opening date for early entry Saturday, January 20, 2007 Beginning of regular entry Saturday, February 10, 2007 Paperwork Completion Deadline 3.2 Rally Program – Rally Week Friday February 16, 2007 10:00am – 10:00pm Opening of Rally Office 10:00am – 1:00pm Novice Competitor Orientation 11:00am – 1:00pm Competitor / Worker Registration Open 2:00pm – 6:00pm Competitor / Worker Registration Open 6:00pm Close of Entries 7:00pm – 9:00pm Competitor / Worker Registration Open 11:30am – 6:30pm Scrutineering 7:00pm – 9:00pm Scrutineering 4:00pm – 6:00pm Shakedown Post shakedown 20-minute Parc Expose 9:00pm – 10:00pm Worker’s Meeting 9:00pm – 10:30pm First Steward’s Meeting 10:30pm Start Order posted 6:45am 8:00am 8:15am 8:31am 5:10pm 5:10pm 7:30pm – 9:30pm 7:45pm 8:15pm 9:30pm – 1:00am Saturday February 17, 2007 Stage teams meet for deployment Saturday Parc Expose Driver’s Meeting Start, first car departs TC0 Finish, first car arrives at final control Final Scrutineering Awards Party Provisional Scores Posted Final Scores Posted After-party Rally Guide Market Hall Cheraw Community Center Market Hall Market Hall Market Hall Ford Dealer, Route 9 Ford Dealer, Route 9 McBee Chesterfield Theatre on the Green Inn Cheraw Market Hall Cheraw High School Oslo’s Oslo’s Oslo’s Cheraw High School Cheraw High School Gilligan’s Gilligan’s Gilligan’s Oslo’s 8 3.3 Sandblast Rally 2007 Stewards Meetings The first Stewards Meeting will be at the Inn Cheraw on Friday, February 16th, at 9:00pm. 4 Entry Details 4.1 Titles for Which the Rally Counts Sandblast Rally will count toward the NASA Rally Sport Eastern States Rally Championship for Drivers and Co-Drivers. 4.2 Criteria for Acceptance of Entries All car classes defined by the NASA Rally Sport General Regulations for Rallies will be allowed to enter. 4.3 Entry Dates Early Entry begins Regular Entry begins Paperwork Completion Deadline Entry closes 4.4 List of Entry Fees Early Entry Fee Regular Entry Fee Late Paperwork Fee 4.5 Friday December 1, 2006 10:00 AM Saturday January 20, 6:00 PM Saturday February 10, 6:00 PM Friday February 176, 6:00 PM Cars $495 $595 $20 Motorcycles $250 $300 $20 Entry Packages Each team will receive: • Road book • Stage note book for cars or strip road books for bikes • Rally Guide • Scrutineering Form • Identification stickers for Service Vehicles (place on windshield, passenger top corner) • Numbers for the sides of cars (delivered in the evening) 4.6 Stage Notes Stage notes prepared by Pete Lahm of P-Sport will be issued to each team.

Helmets and suits are required. 7.2 Location The shakedown will be in a new location for 2007. The location is Winery Road between Chesterfield, SC and McBee, SC. The shakedown stage is curvy and approximately 1.7 miles long. Using this road will prevent us from putting ruts in stages that will be used the following day. After completing the stage, it is roughly 5.1 miles to drive around and back to the start. Overall transit distance is about 22 miles from registration, 7 miles closer than last year. All servicing must be done in downtown Chesterfield. Competitors servicing elsewhere will receive a one minute penalty. Service vehicles are not allowed at the head or tail of the shakedown stage. If you wish to trailer your car to the shakedown, there is room for your rig and trailer. Maps and directions will be provided at registration. When each team is finished participating in the shakedown, their rally vehicle must attend a 15 minute Parc Expose on Chesterfield Main street. Teams will be checked in and out of this Parc Expose. Failure to attend will result in a one minute penalty. 7.3 Times Friday, February 16, 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM After completing the shakedown, the competitor must report to main street in downtown Chesterfield for Parc Expose. The Parc Expose time begins when the competitor arrives, and lasts 20 minutes. 7.4 Participants No service crew members or spectators may participate by riding in a vehicle at the shakedown stage. Please note that the shakedown stage is used for publicity: rides in rally cars are sometimes arranged for event sponsors and town officials. Some teams will be approached and asked to provide rides for the mayor, police chief, or a sponsor. Please understand that this sort of activity is paramount for continued close relations with the town and forest that allows us use of their roads. These riders may need to borrow helmets. The ride with a sponsor should be at 60-70 percent of testing speeds, and viewed as a ride, not an opportunity to test. Rally Guide 14 7.5 Cost Sandblast Rally 2007 Each run through the shakedown stage cost five dollars. When carrying a sponsor or official the run will be free of charge. 7.6 Spectating at the Shakedown One spectating area will be available at the Shakedown stage.

However, prior written approval from the EPA is required and such approval is granted only to those racing vehicles that EPA deems not capable of safe or practical use on streets and highways. If the contests are for other than money purposes, the vehicle may be admitted for 90 days without formal entry or bond if the Customs officer is satisfied as to the importer’s identify and good faith. The vehicle becomes subject to forfeiture if it is not exported or if a bond is not given within 90 days of its importation. Prior written approval must be obtained from DOT. A vehicle may be temporarily imported for testing, demonstration, or racing purposes. With rally cars being capable of “safe and practical use streets and highways” this complicates matters, and we recommend that you research the matter carefully. Another encouraging part of the document states “These vehicles may be operated on public roads or highways provided the operations are an integral part of the test.” Also, Sandblast Rally, giving no prize money, does fulfill the “contest for other than money purposes” clause. The Supplemental Regulations explicitly state that no prize money will be awarded. The full document is available on the official government importation web site: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacation/kbyg/prohibited_restricted.xml For the forms to import a car, you must deal with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, available here: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/Racing/ You may submit these forms yourself, or have a customs broker (in the U.S., in a port near where the car will land) do it for you. You do not need to have a NHTSA “Registered Broker” process this paperwork, as those businesses deal with cars that are imported for sale. 14 Hotel Accommodation Rally Headquarters Inn Cheraw 321 2nd St. Cheraw, SC 29520 800.535.8709 GPS: N34* 42.077 W79* 53.226’ Rally Guide 18 Sandblast Rally 2007 Spears Guest House 228 Huger St. Cheraw, SC 29520 843.537.7733 Jameson Inn 885 Chesterfield Highway (Route 9) Cheraw, SC 29520 843.537.5625 Camping at Cooper Black Sand Hills State Forest P.O.
