good to see suggestions being considered. I agree that the new cedar hill stage provides easy viewing points for late-comers, but as Crix said, I didn't even bother to come to the 2nd run, although I also live a short 2mins drive away, partly because I knew all the other photographers would have also been at the one jump spot. I have no problems with the pit and start remaining the same, but if the course could be altered to include some faster 90's with looser material, or some tight S's, would be nice. That's what I meant by changing route, not moving to a different stage altogether.

Sounds to me we all on the same page.

So i'll tell you what...photographers aside - we need at least 30 marshals to run an extended Cedar Hill (more in line with the older more exciting 8-10km stage). We will secure the money somehow to get the material requirements.

Any takers - i believe we have a solid contingent of 15 marshals thus far.

This is not meant as sarcastic but more a reality check. Guys we need help....Plotting the route is the easy part.

i could help....but i tend to move around (most of times) to a different point in the stage

Guys in all seriousness having photographers on the stage is great for added supervision but seriously if someone is flipping and rolling and spinning into a culvert, we want you guys shooting and not running to help (to a point). Remember First Aid, Fire Extinguishers, Radios, Flags. Marshalling is more than just manning a location.

well if the logistics improve and i have the time i may be willing to get back into marshalling

Guys let me also throw a couple things into the mix.....

RT10
- It is not secret that our gravel stages in South are simply the best that the Caribbean has to offer. Although Jamaica has great stages, the logistics and distance between stages in Jamaica make the event a bit tougher to spectate, PIT, etc etc etc.
- The stages provide a huge attraction for the increasing WRC lineup in the Caribbean. We talk a lot of talk leading up to RT every year about who is interested and this time we have the benefit of actual testimonials from RT09.
- Mr. Powell is rumoured to be debuting his S12 Suby in Jamaica this year and will more than likely bring his car to Trini for RT10 in a bid to attract the 4 WRC out of B'dos and the other 2 out of Jamaica. Imagine if you will this line up screaming around Saith Park. Oh my.com
- Imagine an event where you have 4-6 WRC, and a fully subscribed Grp A / N, followed by a great compliment of 2WD cars in the mix.

- Its no secret WE HAVE EVERYTHING IT TAKES. From the stages, to the ability to cover the event on film. This is where we all must strive to be.

Gerry, Dewayne, Devi, imagine you guys perched in your little bush patch on Bronte and having the pleasure of seeing (and hearing) '06 WRC Subies x 2, '02 and '07 Focus, and the very able '04 S9. Not to mention Lochan, Mckenzie, Betts, Gill, Wee Wee attempting to run them down with balls to the wall driving.

This is where the sport can get to but for that we need:
Money - Yes this is and always will be an issue (Current EXCO doing our best to secure)
Management - We have a long way to go but within the last 2-3 years i think the quality of events speaks volumes on our progress to date.
Volunteers - Marshals, Marshals, Marshals, an event with 35 cars on such a grand scale cannot be achieved without major manpower. You would need easily 2 crews of 30 marshals minimum, 2 x timing systems, etc etc.

Now let me ask you is this at all impossible. The other islands have achieved it with a little hardwork and planning.

Folks lets start to think big - its the only way we will move forward....
