For starters I'm the first person to respond
Apart from that I'm really interested in getting a ride. I've been hooked on rallying since May 2005 when I went to the Barbados Rally Carnival.
Maybe in the near future I'll bring out my own ride but until then give a brother a ride pleeeeeaaaaaaaaase

ohhhhh myyy!

can hardly believe that this is for real
*takes deep breath* ok, I too have been hooked on the Rallying scene after being at the 2005 Rally Carnival in B'dos. Since then, my friend and I have been tryna work out options of all kinds, ways of getting into the sport. In daily driving, I'd call out pace notes and stuff; even hooked up some Colin McRae 2005 and started ripping through stages.
CHOOSE MEEE!

I've attended most of our rallies as schedule permitted so I'm a 100% supporter and think our drivers have nuff skill. Still to choose which stage I like most but I like Presal. At the 06 Rally Carnival, I saw Ainsley, Barry and crew and wondered why they were not competing. I think they should enter next yr and do it to the Bajans and others there and also give Seegobin and Powell more support on da track!

I really love this sport! Soon enough, I'll get a car (not sure how, but I will)

My interest in the sport is really growing! (anyone needs a crew member?? I'll even wipe windscreens after each run!)
So all this to say:
CHOOSE MEEE!

I have been supporting rallying in Trinidad since 2005 .This year I decided to get a car ready for 2007.I have been tirelessly researching and talking to as much people as I can. I am presently awaiting MINI to send me a TTRC membership form. I think rallying is the only real motor sport in the world! I want to see Rally Trinidad become the best in the Caribbean I wana see Trinidad and our drivers features in the WRC magazine. I hope this gives an idea of my dedication. Experiencing a ride in a Rally Car, seeing what has to be done, feeling how it feels too really rally………..words cannot describe how great that would be. We do not have a rally school per say in Trinidad so I hope to learn as much as I could in my two runs. I don’t know if learning would be possible with all that adrenaline rushing into my brain:twisted:

. I hope this gets my chosen.

I have braved the hot sun, dust, rain, mud and not to mention the wrath of my significant other at many times to be on hand as an avid spectator fan. Reform, Chagaramas, Cedar Hill, Bronte, Waterloo, Preysal and Basta Hall been to all.
I have seen co-drivers become drivers, drivers come and go, drivers changed their cars to get the ideal flow.
The Salt factory as a rally park, the shed, the silos at Chagaramas, the cane hills at Cedar Hill to get the best vantage point. The food, the drinks not to mention the lime- yes truly, yuh know it's RALLY TIME.
Favorite driver- Ainsley(The Psycho)Lochan.

I Have Been a rally fan since the Boodram/Williams days, I was probably about 8 back then. I have been following the local motorsports especially rally, circuit and go kart racing for the last for the last few years. I am currently building my mini to compete one day in the the Front wheel drive class and hope one day to get a WRX or Evo 4 ( a guy can dream !!!). I believe rallying to be the ULTIMATE form of motorsports requiring the agility, fitness and reflexes of Formula1 and the BALLS of Russian Roulette.Combine that with the level of concentration and attentiveness required to take the navigators directions at speed and its......'HHHOOOOOLLLLY CRAP IN MY PANTS BATMAN!! Colin McRae5 is as close as I have gotten (without the crappin in the pants). Please give me this opportunity ( on my knees begging)......I will forever remain a diehard supporter of local motorsports and find such ways to promote and uplift it now (as it is much needed!) more than ever.

on the TTRC entry form if you're under 18 you'd have to have the consent of a parent or guardian. in terms of the other end of the scale... as long as you're healthy and don't suffer from any medical condition (and sign something saying that you don't) then you're free to go.

I'm must say I'm really glad that you all (TTRC) are giving all of us this opportunity. I think we should do stuff like this more often. It can go a long way in raising interest in and awareness of the sport. I long for the day when rallying could be as big here as it is in Barbados and as a result, I must say that I am a bit dissapointed in the lack of responses thus far.
ah mean... I'm glad that my odds are good

but come on ppl!
lets help make T&T the next rally capital of the caribbean

I love rallying, whether sitting in de sun or rain watching, or on my couch studying vids of Carlos Sainz or Tommy Makinen. Sitting beside one of our Caribbean drivers (who I really respect) in one of these cars, would definitely be the ride of my life! Favourite driver > "Penti"

I think we should win a chance to Co-Drive because we have entered every Navigational rally for 2006,including Tobago and the 1000k Navigationall with 95% podium finishes.We have also marshalled for every Stages Rally this year.We also crashed in Blanchisseuse in the 1000k and was able to still finish with another car.We have shown the spirit the sport requires.

I recently became a rallying enthusiast mainly because my other half was so much in love with the sport. After going to quite a few stages I realized how powerful a person's mind has to be to concentrate on high speed driving along insane courses with adrenaline pumping at the same time. To view this in action was truly amazing, we have alot of talent in Trinidad and the Caribbean! I would like to win this experience since it would be challenging and adventurous which are both that I love. So there u go..a lady has spoken. btw..I promise not to scream to much..lol

you don't have to call pace notes, the stage is a simple one that the drivers more or less know

I believe that we should win this chance to co-drive since we have not only shown and proven the true "rally spirit" but we have really been begging for an opportunity like this. It would also give us the chance to experience what we would be in for next year since we are planning to have our car ready for next year stages.
