    Thumbs up Rally de Paris

    Looks like the Rally de Paris is back on for this year.

    Rally Site

    I worked the Rally a couple of years ago, and it was a blast. They are running on Saturday after Thanksgiving, they are looking for volunteers, and they are a great bunch of people.

    Here's a link to pics I took

    From THIS link, it looks like the answer would be YES. I read references to full roll cages, extinguishers, drivers' and competitors' licensing and FIA classing equivalents

    Seeing as that is the busiest weekend in retail sales, and I work in retail (target) I'll probably have to work. Looks like a ton of fun though.

    Except the races will be going all day and into the night. I'd suggest supper instead of lunch. When I worked it a couple of years ago, there were hot dogs being cooked onsite for lunch IIRC.
