To All......I would like to have some sort of Rally informational meeting in Masonville sometime in the next two weeks! I will do my best to bring an actual Rally car for people to look at and hear run, often seeing something in person is worth thousands of words. I would like the users of this message board (no matter if you're for or against the event) to spread the word and let me know when the best date, time, and location would be. I am a firm believer in the idea that "information is good and accurate information is even better"! I will have printed info, videos, and photos, again people will have the opportunity to look over all the personal and environmental safety equipment that is a part of every Rally car. Please help me out with this and I hope everyone has a wonderful Independence Day........Happy Birthday America!...............Rich |

Mr. Dnys - In any discussion the wisest person is the one who agrees with you. Right? |

Mine are more blue-green. Berti's posts have much wisdom in them if you take the time too look. Masonville is full of folks from many different walks of life. I consider this one of our strongest attributes. HAPPY 4TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Bertimouse - In what way have I insulted any individual in the town of Masonville? I spoke in a general sense of the prevailing attitude of the town; not any individual. I have discovered since the time I moved here and by reading accounts and attending meetings that the prevailing attitude in the area is just what I described. This does not apply to any ONE individual. You are a cheerleader for anything Masonville and that is good. Keep it up. But, not all of us view things through the same rose colored glasses. |

Thank you Masonville Town Board & all the residents that attended last evenings meeting! I was given ample "floor time" to give an updated progress report regarding the application for a Special Use Road Permit by Rally New York. We would like to bring the "final round" of the United States Rally Championship 2009 season to Masonville this fall. For those of you that may not be familiar with this National Motorsport event, if approved modified "street legal" automobiles will compete against the "clock" (not wheel to wheel racing) on select sections of sparsely populated Town roads (which will be closed by permit to normal traffic for 3- two hour periods with breaks in between closures). Masonville will see between 30 & 40 competitive teams from all corners of the United States, at the end of the day the years points will be added up and the National Champion in both All Wheel Drive & 2 Wheel Drive will be crowned. Please support this exciting & significant Motorsport event which will have a positive economic impact on the Town of Masonville!.......If anyone has questions please contact me 845-344-2720; 845-649-8112; 845-794-4096; email n2zkx@hvc.rr.com; Eurorally@aol.com; or visit www.RallyNewYork.com ............................Thanks, I wish everyone a safe & DRY July 4th!...........Rich |

Oh&BTW to All Here?
[Here's a little OK unasked-for-but-your-getting-it-here-now-for-just-this-once-local marketing-advice-from-Bertimouse]-Don't laugh,or maybe DO laugh, whatever: but the "Burma-Shave-like" signs along the sides of your roads REALLY DO WORK!-We've used them most successfully to get rid of 5 free kittens one year&roosters&eggs for allot of years now. -The more signs that rhyme; the quicker product sells. Been there done that & it's always fun to involve the family to make up new signs!

Dear Laughing: While we here agree with your positive comments regarding the proposed Road Rally we DO NOT support & are somewhat discouraged by the negative & insulting ways you have chosen to make publicly about the folks here who happen to have a difference in opinion about it. Dear Laughing; it serves you NO PURPOSE, makes you look bad&it is only wasted energy.. Why do you do that? Cannot you get your point across without attacking&insulting? p.s.My Grandma taught us that but in College we learned that all good folks & leaders knew that;it's like rule #1 when you are dealing with "the public." Dear Laughing: Forgive us we don't mean to preach it's just that there is so much Pain In The World right now we hate to read it on our own hometown Message Board...we here try to reflect God's Light & Hopefulness whenever we can LOL can't you tell?-There MAYBE a RACE here if people would just go online elsewhere&educate themselves about these kinds of road races...they're just too busy(we think at the moment)responding negatively to what's said here. Laughing: the Clear Fact To Us Here is that most folks here are against it because they haven't ever been exposed to this kind of Road Rally(?)& CUDOS to Rich Otis in his Volunteer Efforts to try & bring everyone up to "speed"(pun intended)about all the details.The guy deserves a medal for that. :) Again;we really believe that folks should first "google" stuff online about road rallies in Central NY & talk to people who have experienced it first,to Educate themselves more before they Annihilate something they have never experienced,Eh?OK Nuff Said. |

Hey CrzyFlea: See now,there's another great idea on a way a property owner could make some money: If you DO&CAN pick up cellphone service somewhere on your property; Why not put up some "Burma-Shave-like" signs out front by your road that say something like; Sign#1)Need to make a cellphone call? Sign#2)We'll tell you where right here. Sign#3)Small Fee required. Sign#4)Helps the owner who's retired! :) :) :)
Heck, even we could get in on that deal;there's a spot up on our hill to make calls;gotta get outta your car to make it but in a pinch it's there. |

Rich - the "Phone Booth" is a stretch of road between the farm by Herring road through to the start of the woods when you're heading towards the crossover to Mormon Hollow, right along the top of the Gifford fields. If you get to the A frame cabin, you're gone past it. In that length of road anyone with an AT&T Verizon T-mobile or Virgin Mobile phone gets reasonably good service. At least your spectators won't be totally cut off from the outside world. Come to think of it, depending on who owns the old Gifford farm, perhaps you'll be able to get access on the downhill side up through the field for spectators along that stretch too, not just along the road. Maybe someone here knows who you should contact regarding that. |

Laughing...........I will address the "oil spill", On April 4th during Rally New York USA 2009, a Ford Escort punctured his oil pan and leaked 3 quarts of oil over a 2 mile stretch of Beers Brook Rd, the team was unaware of the leak until the engine stopped running from lack of oil. The remaining 1 quart of oil that was leaked when the car stopped was handled with the spill kit that all competitors carry to avoid damage to the environment. The Walton VFD spill team was called to help with the clean up of the 3 quarts of oil that were distributed over the 2 mile stretch of road, however they explained that less than 4 quarts of oil over that area is not considered a spill. Remember this is on an asphalt petroleum based road! The driver was issued two tickets by a DEC Officer, both tickets were dismissed in court. The Rally, and the competitor took the proper measures to protect the environment!.................Thanks..............Rich |

tcr - I would imagine that the sort of race being discussed is much like the racing this old man was involved in many years ago. Dirt track oval racing was not looked at as a money maker but rather just the sport and love of it. I do not know about others but in all the years I was involved I never made enough money to cover even 10% of the expense of maintaining a car and entrance fees. How much these guys will make? I do not know but I suspect that the only money makers in this endeavor will be the organizations insurance company and lawyers <Grin>. I do not think the "town" is set to make much money but rather this is an opportunity for the town to host something that is rarely seen in our area. A neverending event is not being discussed but rather a one day deal. |

Rich Otis - I do not know if anyone is going around the area trying to scare people about a road rally but I do know there are a lot of horror stories going around about other races by your organization. I have heard stories about damage to private property that was not reported. Injuries that were not reported. Oil spills and environmental damage not reported. BUT, all of these are a "he said. she said, they said" situation. None, that I have tried to track down could be varified or authenticated. I find it difficult to believe that any of these things could occour with 8 or 9 hundred people watching and the happenings not be a matter of public knowledge almost immediately. AND to tcr - So, what is wrong with anyone making money off such an endeavor? Are you saying if you were to make some money you would be for it? |

This has got to be the most closed minded, provincial, dog-in-the-manger town in Delaware County. "I don't want it and you can't have it" prevails. "If I did not think of it or if I am not in charge then by George it is not going to happen" mentality. This is the predominate attitude from the Town Board on down. |

Have you -traveled- those roads (especially the mormon hollow cross to herring road) in anything lower than a truck? I'd hate to see tax dollars go to fixing the ruts, and craters just so your rally could have a better race-way. I know I don't bring my car when I plan to go out on those roads. The roadways aren't made for speed - which is fine by me! -- The way it sounds to me though, you'll be cutting off the "Phone Booth" on Steam Mill Rd. with some of the proposed routes. -- And it also sounds like the Masonville end of the road will be an egress from the race area. ---FYI, you've got a _board member_, _the town judge_, _the webmaster_, _the town clerk_, and _the court clerk_ all living on that end of the road. ---

To amend my previous post regarding contracts, we will bring our proposed contract, it would be improper to distribute a copy of a contract with another Township. So to be clear we will provide the Masonville Board with a proposed contract which is fashioned after contracts we have executed with other Towns, as well as an insurance certificate from our previous event, which provides coverage limits................Thanks..............Rich |

Manny.....There is common to alter the routes so that competitors don't become to familiar with the same roads over & over. Some towns love it, others don't, some of it depends on the current "make up" of the Town Boards. We do have multi year contracts with the Town of Wawarsing, Town of Thompson, and Ten Mile River Scout Camp. The Town of Walton issued a single event permit last year, after a very successful event last fall entered into a three event contract with Rally New York Ltd. for the 2009 season. Board member George Denys requested contact information for officials from Towns we have Rallied in, the information was sent to him last week. I will have copies of the Wawarsing contract and a sample insurance certificate for the Board members at the meeting on Wednesday..........Thanks for your interest!..........Rich |

I wanted to share answers to some questions I received from Rich Otis regarding the rally. I received your request in the mail and was wondering what route the cars will be taking?
The actual route has not been determined yet (we have to see what roads we get permits for), however I can give you the potential routes if we get the roads requested;
1.Start at the Town of Tompkins/Masonville line on Mormon Hollow Rd - turn left onto Mormon Hollow Cross Rd. - turn left at the intersection of Steam Mill Rd - Finish on Steam Mill Rd. at the Masonville/Tompkins Town line.
2.The reverse of # 1
3.Start at the Town of Tompkins/Masonville line on Mormon Hollow Rd - turn left onto Mormon Hollow Cross Rd. - turn right at the intersection of Steam Mill Rd - Finish on Steam Mill Rd. just before the farm on left near Herring Rd.
4.Reverse of # 3
The cars will take a continuous route by traveling over connecting roads to get from the finish of one "Special Stage" (closed competitive section of road) to the start of the next "Special Stage", this part of the Rally is called "transit". The cars are all licensed, inspected, and insured just like your "daily driver", during transit the competitors must and do adhere to all posted speed limits, traffic control devices, and rules of the road.
If this is the area you are speaking of how would that generate income for local businesses?
After every 2 or 3 "Special Stages" competitors must go to a mandatory 20 minute "Service" (where they make adjustments, change tires, clean windows, etc.), this is where their "service crew" is set up and ready to spring into action (like pit stops in NASCAR). We will arrange with the Town or a local property owner (with a suitable area) in the village to rent an area for this. This brings all of the teams into town where they will buy food, fuel, and other stuff, also during the lunch break all volunteers need a place to get food and stuff. In the Walton "Service" was done at the Delaware County Fair Grounds which we rented for the day, you are welcome to check with the Fair Board for a reference, we always leave the area as good if not better than we found it (clean).
As I state in the letter, this is an opportunity for towns people to have yard sales, or "community service groups" like the Fire Company, Rescue Squad, Church groups, or Scouts to sell food or crafts to earn money for their group. Just the Teams and volunteers will add up to 500 people not counting spectators, these are people that would most likely not be in Masonville if not for the Rally and they will be hungry.
Does this Rally generate a lot of road side by standers?
Outside spectators are only permitted in designated spectator areas, these areas require an egress road so that spectators do not have to travel on the "closed sections" of road, the most likely place for this would be on the DEC road at the intersection of Mormon Hollow Rd. and Mormon Hollow Cross Rd, (that is for choice # 1 above), when the course is run in reverse this area would be unacceptable for obvious reasons. The reverse would have spectators on Mormon Hollow Rd. North of the 4 way intersection, spectators can be on State land or land owned by a private individual that has given written permission, again parking would be restricted to only one side. We can not (or would want to) prohibit residents or property owners from viewing (and inviting guests to view) the Rally from their property, the course safety team will advise residents if they feel they are in an unsafe location and recommend a better place to view from. If at any time the safety team feels that anyone is in an unsafe location (and it can not be corrected) the Special Stage will be cancelled!
note: RNY has not had to cancel a stage in 3 years, safety for all is the number one priority!
Will they be in need of parking?
Spectators are directed and required to park only on one side of the egress road (not on the course), this allows for emergency vehicle traffic.

I thought my question was relatively straight forward, but unless I missed it in one of those long replies, it seems to have gone unanswered. My question was...: "If the other communities were so thrilled with having your event there, why not return to their town???? Did they refuse?? Was there opposition before during or after??". If yes, then why?
------ So, maybe you can share with us the exact names and numbers of the Towns you were at previously so the elected officials of Masonville can call the elected officials of those towns and get their sentiments on of having experienced this Rally event in their respective municipality. Thank you. |

It is shocking that you folks are so taken up over a few hour timed race. Folks please note that the Cable News is running 24 hour coverage of things that are important. "Will Jon and Kate (whoever Jon and Kate are) keep their reality show?" Michael Jackson kicked the bucket. This is the greatest loss to the world since the demise of the Dear Lord Himself.

Yes, of course I remember you. Before I forget I want to thank you for allowing me to use your message board as a way to answer questions and get feedback. I appreciate you overlooking the message rules for awhile, I feel it is important to be completely "up front & honest with everyone"......I understand what you are saying but I'd like you to consider putting this aside for a few hours and consider this an opportunity for the whole town.......Please remember that I have complete control over the competitors & volunteers with regards to routes & speeds, and I can strongly recommend to spectators to "keep a lid on their enthusiasm". Other than residents & guests of property owners, spectators are only permitted in designated areas. The most likely location would be the intersection of Mormon Hollow Rd. & Mormon Hollow Cross Rd. (spectator areas can not be "locked within the course" without an egress route), spectators would be required to use Mormon Hollow Rd. north of the intersection or the extension through the park land. If we do not use the section of Steam Mill Rd. from Mormon Hollow Cross Rd. to Herring Rd. (I didn't check but I'm guessing you live between Herring Rd. & Town) the section you are concerned about would not even be used for transit. These type of things can be worked out as part of the contract with the Town in the form of stipulations, of course this should be a give & take process not totally one sided.
We have been very successful having a resident or two as part of the contract process. Please believe me the last thing I want is an angry resident (they can be very problematic), I will make any reasonable concessions to attempt to keep everyone happy and I hope residents will bend a little also.....for the good of the whole town. Give this thing a chance and you will be pleasantly surprised at how un-intrusive it really is..........Thanks

Hello, Rich Otis! You may remember me from the last Town Council Meeting. I told you then that as a resident of Steam Mill Road, I opposed this event. The rally/race course is not by my home, but ALL will have to pass by in order to get there! That's competitors, organizers, and the thousand or so spectators! OK, perhaps some of them will come by way of Mormon Hollow, but that way is not as convenient. I too am a "newcomer" here, having bought my property only about ten years ago. Yet I feel a bonafide Masonvillain! Before I signed on the dotted line to commit to the purchase of my land, I sat on the front stoop for an hour and timed the traffic. Six vehicles passed, coming and going. Obviously, this is not going to be the case on October 24, when I can expect perhaps THOUSANDS to pass my place. Oh yeah, my two cats also cross Steam Mill Road to reach the other side of my property. As I told you at the meeting: "No thanks, Rich! I like to keep Masonville quiet." |

Hello Mr Otis, Would you please provide contact information for the local officials that you dealt with in the Town of Wawarsing or Forestburg so I may follow up with them myself? Allot of comments are posted here with no names to go along with them. Folks, please contact me directly to let me know how you feel about this. I have had two residents from the proposed race area contact me and both were negative. I cannot accept anonymous postings here as credible input to base a decision on. I will keep your names confidential however I need to be certian that you are a Town resident. I have contacted an attorney with a battery of questions and am waiting to hear back from him. Liability and the opinion of the folks who live in that portion of the town are paramount to me. It is my job to protect the infrastructure and monetary resources of the Town. That being said, It's your town folks, tell me what you want. 607-265-3493 |

CUDO'S for all the positive folks' comments & CUDO'S for all the folks playing Devil's Advocate too because their Opinion Counts as a balance in any Town Government,but we here feel that they are outnumbered because of all the benefit for the good this Event will bring.(Remember how the folks in Walton rent out their yards for $5 a spot just to park for the Fair!)-Those folks along the route could do the same if they wanted to...Please this is such an opportunity for those on the route;all you have to do is imagine the possibilities not only for yourselves but for your Town & your Taxes!)Anyway,we think that the Town of Masonville should have a special Citizen VOTE on this-since it affects not just a Few Residents but the whole of Masonville, Sidney and the County of Delaware. OK Nuff said. |
