The Great American Mountain Rally Revival
Gary Hamilton, the Rally-master for the Great American Mountain Rally Revival, sent us a request for volunteers to man checkpoints when the rally passes through CT on Friday October 12th.
No experience is required, and they will have a quick checkpoint class to show folks how to man the clocks and time cars. The route is shown below, and you will see they are running through the Western portion of Ct from the Danbury area up to the MA border.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Gary directly by email ghamilton.2007@gmail.com or by phone 978-500-8039. Also if you are interested in any other days, they will also be running the 13th-14 in VT & NH.
