Hello, it’s rally time again in Missouri. The 100AW takes place this Feb. 27-28 in and around Salem, MO.
I am the volunteer coordinator for the rally and we can always use more help during the event. Most people end up as marshals or control workers. We have other jobs, but they require some sort of experience, such as HAM radio, medical, or Sweep. Anybody can be a marshal or control worker, but we really need HAM operators and medical personnel. If you fit the bill or know of somebody like that, do everything you can to get them to come and you can work with them if you want.

As mentioned, no experience is needed to be a marshal or control worker. We'll do our best to make sure you know what to do. Marshals sit at intersecting roads to the stage and keep non-rally traffic or specators off of the stage. Control workers are at the start or finish of the stage to time the cars. Both are fun jobs and you can try both if you want.

To sign up to work, go to www.100aw.org and look for the worker tab. There is other info there you can read, including the registration times and locations. Please sign up online if you can so I can get an early count on how many to expect. You will still need to come to registration one time to sign the waiver and get all your free stuff. We'll have t-shirts and lapel pins for sure and maybe some other stuff.
Then when the rally is over, all the workers are invited to the after-party and awards presentation at the Eagles Lodge in Salem. It's free food and drinks for everyone.

If you just want to come out and spectate, that's fine too.

If you have any questions, post em here or email me.

 

Here's an update on fuel for all the high octane users. There used to be a station in Viburnum that sold 91, but they don't sell it anymore and the Casey's in town will be closed for remodelling that weekend. 87 and maybe diesel only in Vib.
But 93 is for sure available in Salem and probably Potosi, Steelville, and of course Rolla.

As always at rallies, make sure you fill up before you head out to the woods as gas availabilty of any octane is slim, let alone 91 and up.

 

I will be there =)

I know alotta people from stlsubaru.com going and I just started a thread on MWE to see how many of them will show

What will the HAM radio volunteers do? Do they get posted at various spot in the course?

 

Word is that Tanner Foust will debut his new EVO X at this event. I like Subies and all, but am really excited to see this car.

We're up to 25 entries but have ten more days to enter.

We should have the spectator info up soon.

We can always use more volunteers, so feel free to sign up online or just come to registration either day. HAM operators are still a priority.

Soon, I'll be sending out some more info to those who signed up online.
If you did, you still need to come to registration one time to sign the waiver, get your assignments, and get all your free stuff.

As usual, motel rooms are becoming scarce, but can still be had within 30 miles or so of Salem. If you think you need one, get it soon.

The HAM operators are at starts and finishes for sure and IF we have enough, along the course at certain spots too. Also need them at service, spectator areas and with all the medical personnel.
We operate on 2m using local repeaters. If you wanna know more on this subject, email mike@100aw.org. He's the HAM guy.

 

If you can't/don't want to volunteer, the spectator info is now up on the website. Here's a link http://100aw.org/spectating_locations.html
Up to 37 entries, with more expected.
