THE APPLE HILL RALLY SPRINT IS A DIVISIONAL PRO-RALLY
SANCTIONED BY THE SCCA. IT' S A SMALL COEFICCIENT 1 RALLY
BUT IT DOES COUNT FOR BOTH THE NEW YORK RALLY
CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE SCCA NORTH EAST DIVISION PRO
RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP. IT DOES TAKE PLACE IN PRIVATE 
PROPERTY BUT IT IT NOT AN AUTOCROSS ON SNOW OR GRAVEL.
I PARTICIPATED IN A COUPLE OF THE WORK WEEKENS THAT
KEN BURT AND CONSTANTINE MONTOPOULOS ORGANIZED
IN ORDER TO GET THE ROADS TO SUIT OUR SPORT. AT THESE
WORK WEEKENDS I GOT THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY DRIVE THE
ROADS AND SEE WHAT'S IN STORE FOR FUTURE RALLIES.
THE CONDITIONS WEREN'T PERFECT (IF THEY WERE IT WOULDN'T
BE CALLED RALLYING) BUT THE STAGES THAT I DROVE WERE
VERY INTRESTING. IT IS A VERY TECHNICAL RALLY, RATHER THAN
A FAST FLAT OUT EVENT. THE SPEEDS THE RACE CARS WILL 
REACH ON THE ROADS WONT BE VERY HIGH, BUT THE STAGES
ARE VERY TWISTY AND NARROW, WICH LEAVES NO ROOM FOR
MISTAKES ON THE DRIVER, CODRIVER SIDE. THIS WILL MAKE IT 
A VERY FUN AND ITRESTING RALLY TO SPECTATE AND IT ALSO 
HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE EASIEST RALLIES IN THE COUNTRY
TO SPECTATE. THE STAGES  ARE RAN SEVERAL TIMES IN DIFFERENT
DIRECTIONS, AND ARE VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. LAST YEARS
EVENT CONSISTED OF 18 STAGES AND WE GOT TO SEE ALL 18. WE
WERE EVEN ABLE TO SEE TWO PARTS OF SOME SATAGES. APPLE  
HILL IS ALSO CLOSE TO MANY POINTS IN THE NORTH EAST SO IT 
MAKES IT EASIER FOR CONPETITORS TO PARTICIPATE AND SINCE
SAND HILLS WAS REMOVED FROM THE RALLY CALENDAR THIS 
YEAR  AND BRIDGEHAMPTON NO LONGER EXISTS, THERE REALLY
 ISN'T MUCH GOING ON IN THE NORTH EAST AS FAR AS PRO RALLY
UNTIL SKI SAWMILL IN MAY.SO THERE SHOULD BE A PRETTY 
GOOD TURN OUT AS FAR AS BOTH COMPETITORS AND 
SPECTATORS. 
LOTS OF US IN THE AREA HAVE PUT IN CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNTS OF TIME AND EFFORT TO GET APPLE HILL GOING
AND LOTS OF WORK STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE, BUT THINGS ARE
LOOKING GOOD. WE NEED ALL THE  HELP AND SUPPORT WE CAN 
GET. WE ARE NOT ASKING THAT YOU GRAB A PICK AND SHOVLE
AND COME WORK ON THE ROADS (UNLESS YOU WANT TO).
WE JUST WANT YOU TO SUPPORT THE GRATEST SPORT IN THE
HISTORY OF HUMAN KIND. AFTER ALL AUDI REVOLUTIONAZED
RALLYING FOR EVER. AND THE SPORT IS WHAT IT IS TODAY
WORLD WIDE BECAUSE OF THE FOUR RINGS. SO BRIG YOUR
QUATTRO (OR NON-Q) AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR
A DAY OF FUN AND COMPETITIVE RACING.
