Since the events of the 9-11 2001, many changes have affected all that relates to the insurances and the risk management. The rally does not have escaped with this measurement and the insurance companies which agree to ensure the rallys in Canada increased their requirements in matter of security.The Canadian Association of Rally Sport had to create a plan of safety which must apply in all the events of rally in Canada.
The new standards imposing a perfect control of all the spectators along the timed tests, it became impossible for our organization, taking into account its financial and human resources, to ensure the safety in an adequate way in all locations in special stage.
For these reasons, we adopted a very new approach which, we hope for it, will be able to offer a spectacle to you more spectacular in a practical and safe way. Thus, the public is invited to used the buses to reach the spectators zones. Why trying to fool around the organization by passing over the security system. Instead of trying to find a place to park close from the stage area, walk for 10, 15 or 30 minutes to get into a “good spot”, try our bus system. Park your car on Friday night at the Canadian Tire or on Saturday morning at the “Quad Club” in Duhamel, save gas, time, walking and go directly to the good sports in the stage. We will have spectators zones on Friday night and on Saturday in Duhamel. All spectators location will be described in the special edition (spectators guide) of Pole-Position magazine or under “Spectators / MAPS” in this website.
Ladies, listen to this from Mrs Gabrielle Fortin, spouse of Sylvain Erickson, wellknown rally driver: “ For many years, I’am following Sylvain around the country when he is rallying. Last two year at Defi, I was able to park safely my car at the parking lot in Duhamel, use the free bus system to go directly to the best spots in the stages. As a bonus, there was a “Johnny-on-the-spot” at each location installed by the rally committee. I really appreciated my weekend in Duhamel!”
At the time of the presentation of these special stage, we ask you to respect all the security instructions, in particular not to go in the prohibed to spectators areas. You hold in a good distance from the road to be certain that a vehicle in loss of control cannot reach you. Stay courteous with thoses people in charge of safety. They are voluntary people which has the duty to take care of your safety. The center of coordination of the rally will be in radio communication with all the helpers on the site. If our observers judge that part of crowd does not behave in a safe way, the clerk ofthe course will order the cancellation of the special stage. We know that you are responsible rally amateurs and that you will help us to present the best spectacle possible.
Rally organizers cannot figure it out what can happened in a special stage, especially for the safety of your kids. Rally drivers are over qualified, having driving skills over the average, but a mecanical faluire can occured anytime. PLEASE always keep an eye (or both of them) on your kid!
When you attend a special stage of rally, you will do it by holding you on the property of a third. These owners accept that their grounds are taken by a many crowd. We count on your acute direction of good citizenship to protect the physical integrity from all the objects like the trees and shrubs and the traffic signs or other. We hold so that the owners of these grounds and objects are satisfied of the behavior of crowd. Then, we invite you collect all your rebus at the time of your departure of one or the other of the sites so that with the snow melt, the owners do not find vestiges of our event.
