Social Update and First Fling notes

Monday, April 28 2008 @ 09:35 AM CDT
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 25

As I sit here today (Monday) I'm upset that the article penned on Saturday didn't save to the site. It was a better article than the one I can write today. (You'll understand shortly).

As for the pre-season social, the attendee count was into the 30's and I know I had a great time and I heard from others that they did as well. It will be different not having to go to calls, and sitting here at home today I am hearing the pager trip (3rd time) and still having a hard time unlearning the "go to the fire station" drill.

For those of you that check here occasionally I'd like to offer the wishes for a Happy and successful new year. I hope "Santa" was good to you as well.

I have also been able in the last few months to get down to Texas to visit Laurie. Larry and the "kids"on a couple of occasions. Bear, Sammy and Koda are doing well but could use a much larger yard to play in. (Stay tuned for details on that from the Eckmans)

The business items can be found under the "more" tab. There are a couple of items there as of this writing. in the meantime have a safe off season and see you all in late March.

Hello from Fort Hood

Well hey yall. It has been awhile I know and it has been a crazy year that is for sure. Sorry it has been such a long time since I have said hi. There is so much going on that it just crazy. Anyway hope everyone is doing well. I had have back surgery last year and I am doing great. Six screws and a plate later in my back does wonders. Larry is doing ok. We hope to get up that way soon. We both miss the snow and the Northern Lights. Texas for the most part sucks. We miss it up there and miss you guys. Hope to see you soon and until then stay safe and have a wonderful New Year.

Poll update and Race events info

Sunday, November 11 2007 @ 01:13 PM CST
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 146

I have cleared the poll results. I'd like you to vote on the 3 poll questions for this coming year. Follow the left edge down and vote. (you'll need to be registered on the site to do that)

I have also been told that not all of the RLR staff is on the e-mail lists for the rally info not generated by RLR, I'll start forwarding event info to the news articles here with the note that if you are interested in the event to e-mail or call. Some of the party info and other data is not suitable for public knowledge so the articles will be edited for data private/'non-disclosure outside rally' info.

I have also visited a number of race group websites and have added any posted 2008 dates from these websites into the Red Light Calendar. Start your planning early...

Season end thoughts and notes

Friday, November 02 2007 @ 06:58 PM CDT
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 162

For BIR, the season when out quietly with no major incidents at the BMW/Quattro event. Paul spent the weekend in control working with Laura (Happy Birthday Laura) and the rest of the rescues (Jim and Robert) were left to deal with the track stuff. Both got their share of fun, but nothing much more than a couple of flat tows.

As for the track, the paving crews got started on Friday and had the first layer down for the short course by the end of the day. (sans pit area) Saturday, Jed led the interested parties (I think that translated into everyone with a car) around the new track surface.

Watch the calendar as I already have dates for the '08 rallies and a couple of EMS conferences. Any other schedules that you come across feel free to let me know that they are available. We'll get them posted as soon as we can.

LSPR on the other hand provided a much more rowdy and really fun time....

Final Fling "Rolls" itself into the history books.

Monday, October 01 2007 @ 11:04 AM CDT
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 201

Well, the Final Fling folks decided that they would not be outdone by the last event. They started the weekend with a rollover at 8. After a quiet morning things go going in the afternoon. The rollover was a result of a driver fighting for control at 8 with the right front tire dropping off the pavement into the new track depression. the driver not knowing that he had a tire off kept trying to recover and when the tire finally returned to the asphalt, the 3-4" jump sent the car a rolling. The left front bead broke in this process so the bottom and top of the left rim pulled a couple of chunks out of the pavement. the car eventually landed on it's wheels. Picture pulling up to a car in the middle of the track between 8 and 9 with a glass debris field covering 100% of the track and about 50 feet long with the Porsche in the middle of it. Wow, what a mess.

The only other items of note were the two vehicles Friday that drivers forgot about rule number 3 - "They run better with 'go' juice in the tanks." Jim got the first one and pulled it to the pumps, and Paul took the second one to the pumps. (note to self: New corvettes really suck for front end hook points)

Saturday and Sunday were tempered by rain but the rest of the folks behaved and kept the cars off of the walls. All things considered an good weekend for NS-PCA and a great season for them.

SSAC Double Regional/BIR-PDS events

Saturday, September 15 2007 @ 02:54 PM CDT
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 215

Well the best word to describe these three events was "MAYDAY" or "ALERT". With 3 between the three events in one weekend Rescue was kept busy.

The first mayday came Saturday afternoon at the SSAC event with a car getting sideways at 8 and then barrel rolling into the trees drivers left at 8. The car ended up facing oncoming and sitting at a 45 degree angle with the drivers door pinned by the ground and the passenger door pinned by the tree. the 4 door hatch allowed for right rear entry into the passenger area where the uninjured passenger exited thru the rear hatch. This driver required a little more help exiting....

Ojibwe Update

Well I finally got a breather to get caught up on news articles. First things first: Ojibwe Forests Rally.

The Ojib this year was still pretty dry, but despite this Gene did manage to find the most mud with the new Rescue 12. (no pictures yet as of this writing) so he takes the "most mud" award for this event. With CRA playing at BIR and the debannering crews already in the woods there was little to do on the way home but go visit the track. This was in contract to the rally as there was excitement both nights.
