Postby **Monk BANzai** » May 29th, 2007, 1:30 pm

came back yesterday.....got LOADS of video footage..including some EXCLUSIVE in feild stuff at the last stage which was a Rally Cross setup....imagine two ralyl cars doign a "drag/circuit" type racing....over tarmac and gravel.....some amazing stuff....also got some Raly drifting between two competitors at "duck pond" ...yah an actua l pond with ducks that are not disturbed or hunted for food....some of our team was only licking thier chops at the sight of nearly 300 ducks just "liming" around....

hadda congrat Ainsley and Scott for succesfully completing his first rally in Bados....the boys did well....(and in some circles some wud say that they were cheated)...they became instant heros. driftign thier Evo in are4as that only the Escorts and Datsun wud have dared to pelt it broad......they became local favorites among the bajans...and Bajans are a tough crowd to please.

all in all we took about 4,000 pics and about 4 hours of video footage. The trinidad "media" team was most present in all of the stages at key points..

We also formed soem alliances with wheelsjamiaca.com, who was over there shooting the rally for a reality series they're doing.

With some more planning wand crowd control....Rally Barvados can actually become a WRC Rally event stop. They ara very methodical in thier stage prep. If the stage starts at 9:00am, then they lock it down at 8:00am....and i mean lock it down..we had a offical press car and press passes and cundnt get past a stage becuz it was locked down.....then they make a "sweep"....four passes....the Track Marshall passes with his PRado....then you have the car called "triple zero" pass thru with their sirens blazing..signalling that the stage is locked....then you have car "double zero" do a pass normally with the Stage Commander drivging .....after thatn Car "Zero" runs through...and trust me...its a Group N rally SScooby that is blazzign thru the course..almost at the speed of th actual rally cars...

once Car Zero runs through..thats it.....they ran the cars in 30 Second intervals.....really quick movments....at most you had at least 4 cars on the stage at any one time.....each stage had 3 to 4 emergencey and evac type vehicels posted for quck extraction should a car run off or crash.

After the last car passes....the "close of stage" car runs through, signalling the end of the stage.

One thing to nite..t.hey cancelled at least 3 of the stages due to crowd control. They not joking with that...even though they paid for access through private land and state land..they still cancelled stages if they thought it was unsafe.

was a great experience, and we wer guaranteed an "exclusive press package" for the 2008 event...and with more trini cars going up, you can expect better coeverage. Was alos a learning curve for Narend, myself, Devi, WagonR and otther who learned from soem international media guys that covered the event. That sort of thing you cant trade for anythign esle.....was an OJT type thing with them teaching us proper Panning techniques and photo guides....

ah sick liek a dog now...meh kidneys hurting meh from walkng two miles to and from locations to get coverage, but it was worth it.

Maserati · Postby **Maserati** » May 29th, 2007, 2:08 pm

cant wait to see the coverage up on the homepage.
