LSPR!

Posted by Running Chick in

Last weekend, Josh and I worked radio for the Lake Superior Pro Rally. We were assigned two stages, 7 & 10.

Our pickup was 5:00 at the Kenton wayside on Forest Highway 16. Everybody working stage 7 met at the same time. Here we are checking in with our stage captain (in the blue jacket). I’ll refrain from making comments about how disorganized and frazzled she was.

We all head out to the stage to get laid out. Here are the cars in front of us.

And more cars behind us.

Kenton residents have put up some interesting Halloween displays. At least I think that’s for Halloween.

We hit the gravel on the way to the start of the stage. The dust would cause some issues with the drivers later on in the evening.

Here’s the start of the stage, workers were dropped off in order of job assignment, so these guys were ahead of us.

We get dropped off at our stage and the rest of the workers continue.

Our position. We had to string up banner tape in front & behind the car so no spectators could get onto the stage. We were in position by 5:30.

By the time the cars got going, it was pretty dark. This was the only decent shot I could get, and it’s not really all that decent.

The cars entered the stage at one-minute intervals, but because of the dust, that changed to two-minute intervals for the final stage. Our job was to document the car numbers and times as they went by our position and report this information to Net Control at the beginning and end of the stage. Bonus, we had a really good spot for watching the cars zoom by.

By the time all was said & done, we rolled into the driveway at 2:30 with a bag of Taco Bell (Thank you, Taco Bell for staying open late) and a car full of dust. Fun times!
