Attention East coast autocrossers/rally-people
The Pine Barrens express is a legendary rally and is in danger of never
being held again
We need all the support we can get so anyone interested in a medium to high
speed
Rally read the letter below. I'll be there in a Subaru 2.5 RS (blue of
course) on rally tires
And I challenge anyone out there to beat me in the SOP (seat of pants) class
PLEASE come out and keep the legend of the PBX alive. The website is

Subject: [phax] Pine Barrens Express Rally
This was just received from Rene Ruel, NEDiv Rally Steward:
Here are more details from the rallymaster of the Pine Barrens
Express. The rally will be held on Nov 18 in the Pine Barrens region
of New Jersey. PBX is the last NEDiv Road Rally Series event of the
season.
Here's the story.......
Time is fast running out to pre-register for the 2000 PBX Rally. The
event is on. It will be run rain, or shine or snow.... We have all the
permits, everyone has been given proper notification and the Route
Instructions are finalized. Preregistration closes November 6th, and
after that the price goes up. We have two more route checks planned in
the next 10 days... November 18th is just around the corner......
About the event itself - it's about 170 miles, approximately 90%
unpaved. The road surfaces are sand (no large rocks - no boulders).
Part of the event will run through the world famous cranberry bogs -
twice !! The first time will be in the light (to familiarize you with
the area) and the second time in the dark. We will be using lower
speeds this year, especially in the bogs. There will be two odometer
legs; one unpaved, the other paved. We will use the same tulip format
as previously, and will be using a no-penalty time allowance (bought
time) system. Unlike the '98 PBX we will not be visiting any military
bases. We will, however be running in two new forests (new to us).
Safety will be a primary feature with add times for crossing over all
through paved roads, or turning onto any State or County routes (these
same State & County routes will be free zones). We will be the only
"activity" in the Forests that evening, and there should be no hunters
after darkness. But the roads are open to the public. The roads are all
suitable for the event, the speeds likewise. There is some loose sand,
that's why we recommend a minimum of 5 inches road clearance, but
nothing that will cause a car to get stuck.
The rally will start & end at the same place (Firehouse in Whiting,
N.J.) and there will be food and refreshments at the end of the rally.
NOTE: Registration opens at 2 PM, and First Car Off at 3:01 PM.
Contestants will be given two gallon bottles of Ocean Spray 100%
Cranberry juice at registration (the roads may be dusty and you might
work up a thirst). There will be two rest breaks (both near facilities
for food, gas and restrooms for ladies & gents). You can download the
Flyer, general info and General Instructions from our website. The
address is: HTPP://HOME.ATT.NET./~PBXRALLY. Our E-mail address is:
TAKKO@WORLDNET.ATT.NET. Our fax number is 1-732-469-6246. To speak to
someone live call (days & nights) 1-732-271-5185, or 1-908-281-7846.
Support the sport. We've invested $1500 in this year's event and when
you figure what we spent last year, this is one expensive Rally for our
Club. Don't put off 'til next year what you can do this year.
Remember, without you running, our Club board members may think twice
about financing an event like this again.
Sincerely,
Fred Cochran
