So ya, good VW turnout Robert. Was the 122 a really clean old grey one that I just logged?

looked blue to me



does that mean there's another one out there?

Oh, I see. What is sounds like is maybe the general call didn't actually get to Net Control until after the Tabors got there. That would indeed be kind of a problem.

Yes, from what I understand that's how it went down. The marshall that stopped us was on the radio with the marshall on scene. There wasn't a HAM at that location. He didn't have any relevant information for me other then a car hit a tree. We would not have left if I we we're told to hold so sweep could get by.

Several years back at Black river stages I ended up center punching another competitor 3miles or so in after a double crest downhill L3 or 4 as they were blocking the stage diagonally with no lights, triangles or signs roughly at midnight as there were delays and gotta say was the scariest shit i experienced in a rally car (had a couple of offs, ran into a tree with brake failure etc...) I hit them so hard, punted them into a ditch. My sister who was codriving ran up the hill with triangles and OK sign as i attended the driver and codriver. They were both still in the car, thankfully belted and apparently stalled the car but couldnt restart it. Driver was shaken up and dazed and codriver took a while to respond but was fine. I was beyond pissed off as these competitors always disregarded rules etc... A couple years later they got DQed at an event and I believe eventually put on probation and stopped running.
If there will not be harsh punishment/suspension etc of some sort all is a waste until someone really gets hurt/killed.
I have to say I have stopped and checked on competitors while several cars in front have not at some events as well. Once even stopped to check on a competitor that had no signs or triangles -turns out they were working on car. Without given me a heads up they put hood down and took off in front of me and had to follow them while they limped out of stage...

At that time I don't believe they even Knew what was going on. It was a Marshall with a FRS Radio that stopped us. EMT's weren't dispatched for another 20 minutes of us arriving on scene.

I know the EMT was dispatched as within a minute or two of the time the red cross was announced on the radio. The ambulance wasn't dispatched until later, but the EMT was on the move pretty quickly.

Now, I don't know how long it took news to get to Net Control, or where the EMT was stationed or what route they took, but they were definitely dispatched promptly.

I wasn't at the scene, but one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is that there was a radio control right there. The instruction was: "Cr into !R4- o.c. /Cr lg (RC)". Did this radio control call it in? How did the worker with an FRS know to stop Joel?

There wasn't a radio control there. The worker that stopped us only knew about the red cross from talking to the worker on scene which also only had an FRS.

a few of the pics my friend took, the rest are on fb
