RALLY TRINIDAD 2009 - Can you really afford to miss it?

Postby **Mini** » February 16th, 2009, 5:43 pm

I'm not familiar with the new stages... but what is the transit time if we run one stage at a time?

with cars starting at 1 minute apart (assuming the dust clears fast) and say 30 cars... a 25 minute transit is workable

well in the spirit of togetherness and unity CARS will try to get as many of our members to assist in the marshalling. I will offer to help in anyway possible, although I would love to drive. (anyone have a rally car to lend?even if it is to drive car 0, lol)

I will help anyway you need me to. Ps the date on your web site has not been changed.

...cyar work. in Bronte, de Ultra/Stag evo was behind the Scotia subbie and even with 2 min. interval, they were one behind the other after the long straight.....and i was shooting the evo in dust.....and it had plenty breeze.....

....and that brings me to another point....in FIA, racing in the new season starts with the overall champion bearing the #1. and the rest of the field as they finished the season.....but we start the new season based on how they finished the last race......

....someone care to explain.....please.

Ryan, thanks for the offer, I am sure we have lots of work that you and a team can get involved with, one of the biggest challenges for Rally Trinidad is the committment of Marshalls, which starts with a great hype but after Saturday we suffer for the first runs on Sunday morning, I believe that marshalling is also one of the most important positions so I am glad for the committment and to see other motorsport bodies working together for the overall development of motorsport

Thank you, we certainly appreciate the offer as jusbitter said ... there are 3 <shifts> - Saturday day, Saturday night and Sunday .. if you can send me the names interested in marshalling and the shifts they can do, I'd appreciate that too .. you can call me at 735-7908 or 299-8475 .. thanks again ...

great.... how soon will route books be available to local teams?

Plus i think they not advertising it because they do not want any foreign competitors , s they can say they won their rally .

This is was posted on Zhaust.... :evil:

What is being done to promote the event, perhaps confimations of the foreign crews?

with one month to go we need much more hype!!!

www.rallytrinidad.com is not helping much either

Herein lies the main problem.

We are trying to please to many people and trying to make everyone happy.

Some of you may know and many will not know, but TTRC has constantly moved it dates many times for events to accomodate the "foreign" teams.
The courtesy they return to TTRC- "sorry, but we just cyar mek it".

So, wether they want to come or not, I say we continue to make the Locals happy and endeavour to have the best event we can have, with or without the "foreign" teams.

AT the end of the day, it is here in TnT we live, let's make it the best for us !!!

This is MY opinion, who don't like, LOG OFF

Postby **tr1ad** » February 25th, 2009, 12:40 pm

fo real yo....

imo continue as normal

rally trinidad ftw...

agreed... but even on the local front I think we could start hyping it a bit more, start building up a bit more of a buzz... see if we could start attract a bit more that family, friends and 'forumers'

jusbitter · Postby **jusbitter** » February 25th, 2009, 8:44 pm

whilst the executive will take the lead with the hype/promotion and general awareness of the event, I think all can give support and start promoting the event themselves or even volunteer to assist the present executive and stages sub-committee to promote and develop the awareness of not only Rally Trinidad but rallying overall.

^that was a breathy sentence. Maybe if there was a flyer to be distributed, that would be helpful.

ONE OOT · Postby **ONE OOT** » February 25th, 2009, 11:26 pm

We are making every effort to have the foriegn teams here for RT09
A lot of work is being done in the Background to make RT09 happen with foriegn participation
The Government is committed to the development of Rally Trinidad to allow TTRC to redevelop a Caribbean Championship, however its a learning process for both the Ministry and the TTRC executive to conclude a reasonable agreement workable on both sides for the funding and accounting of RT09.
We have being communicating with the appointed liason persons from Barbados and Jamaica to finalise the entries.
The executive is working to ensure we begin our advertising within the next few days , now that carnival is out of the way.

Hotel Space is at a premium in March and April so any of our tuners who may know of rental houses in a fairly safe location for our foriegn guest for the first week in April let me know OK.

FLYER will be up tomorrow.

Mini for your information the route will be online available for both foriegn and local competitors to peruse by 12th March after the approval by the executive, clerk of the course and the chief Marshall.

Chaguanas Superspecial is looking very promising and the planning for a safe and enjoyable Chaguanas Mayors Cup Rally is moving forward .

Bleachers and Concrete Barriers positioning etc is currently being finalised and the route will also be published with a spectator guide online all this pending the final approval by the Police and the Borough Council.

For our Friends on Zhaust all information on Rally Trinidad 09 will hopefully be uploaded to Rallytrinidad.com by friday.

I hope the foreign drivers come, i cant count the amount of times a big hype has been made of so many foreign drivers coming to compete and in the end less than a handful come
