Oregon Trail Pro Rally 2007
Chasing rally cars, so this has been my activity as of late.
The weekend before last was the Oregon Trail Rally. I'm a member of a volunteer group referred to as Sweep. We are the team that handles emergency response on stage during the rally. When we get the call we race down course and respond. Pulling cars out of ditches, flipping them over, medical response (we have 1-2 EMT ride alongs in each vehicle), whatever needs to be done.
It's a volunteer based group, so its easy for me to be able to do with basically no budget for it, other than having to get a HAM radio license. It's quite a bit of fun.
Here's some pictures, they arent the best but its hard to get much when youre working. If anyone is a WA local, you might wanna check out the Olympus Rally coming up next month. Pretty fun to watch Travis Pastrana and Ken Block and the other pro's rip thru the woods at high speeds.

Rally racing has always looked fun as hell to me. Wish I had a lot of money to throw at a car so I can abuse it as much as possible and not care. The only rally racing I've seen here in alabama is neighbors racing their lawnmowers through ditches. I'd be happy with just riding with a rally racer.
Rally racing is on my list of things to do.

Right on man. I didn't get a chance to go to any of the stages, but I went to the closing ceremonies.
Looks like it was a lot of fun!
My pics aren't that fun, we've all seen rally cars before, but here are a few anyways...
EF represent!
