safety comes first S


Follow these guidelines to have fun and stay safe


ince performance rallies nor- mally take place on forest


roads in wilderness areas, per- sons attending the 2010 Rally of the Tall Pines do so entirely at their own risk. That being said, viewing the


sport of rallying can become an in- teresting adventure in itself. We suggest that you prepare as


if you were going for a walk in the woods. Take warm clothing and footwear, a camera, a watch, food, and a flashlight. By observing the precautions above, your day at the Rally of the Tall Pines should be


both memorable and enjoyable. The rally competitors will be


traveling over a wide geographical area throughout the day. The high- speed, timed stages are held on closed, forest access roads. The rally organizers have set up


specific spectator viewing areas along the rally route. Our spectator areas are among


some of the best in North America and are the prime places to catch all of the action. Please remember that the spec-


tator areas are on private property so please listen to the Marshals, do


not start camp fires or litter and help us to respect the land owners so that we may return in future years. Food vendors will be on-site at the spectator areas and will be providing hot food and beverages through the day. Rally merchandise will also be


on sale at the spectator areas. If you wish to purchase anything, please bring cash as debit and credit are typically not accepted. Please keep in mind that all local


authorities, and the Ontario Provincial Police, are very familiar with the route of the rally. Play it safe and stick to the


posted speeds! Please drive safely! Also, please note that no fires or


camping are permitted at any of the designated spectator areas. •


tall pines saFety tips


• Do not camp at any of the Spectator Areas. These areas are monitored and you WILL be re- moved by OPP.


• Do not stand too close to any of the roads.


• Do not block escape routes – Rally cars may need the runoff room and emergency vehicles need to have fast access to the road in case of an emergency.


• Never stand on the outside of any of the corners.


• Never stand in areas marked with red prohibited area tape.


• Stay behind all yellow caution tape and safety fences. They are there for a reason. Even though the area in front of the tape can look safe, it is not.


• Try to keep behind something solid, such as a large tree, and leave room to move quickly.


• Keep children under close su- pervision and dogs must be on a leash at all times.


• Please listen to the marshals’ insctructions.


• November weather in the Bancroft Area can change very quickly. Be prepared for sun, rain, snow and cold!


Fans can get closer to the action in rally than in any other form of motorsport, but be careful.
