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!

Chairman of the Rally

1.2
Sandblast Rally History
The event was first organized by Greg Healey in the early nineties. 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

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.

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.

6 Reconnaissance
There will be no reconnaissance.
7 Shakedown
7.1
Participation
Competitors who have completed registration, scrutineering, and the Novice Competitor
Orientation (if required) may run the shakedown stage. 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.

13 Import of Vehicles & Spare
Parts
13.1 Importing into America
The following is an excerpt from a U.S. government publication entitled “Importing A
Car”:
Nonresidents may import an automobile or motorcycle and its usual equipment
free of duty for a temporary stay to take part in races or other specific purposes.
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.

If you would like the operator to look up a number for you, dial 411. This number is valid

Cellular Coverage
Opinion from the local firms is that Alltel has the best coverage for the area. US Cellular
is ok, and Cingular coverage is spotty. Sprint loses coverage at the NC/SC state line, and
will not pick up a signal on the stages, although it occasionally does get digital roam.
Nextel has fair coverage within Cheraw, but spotty on the stages.
