New England Forest Rally 2014 Coverage: Action Photos From Deep In The Woods Of Maine

(Photos by Joe Staska) – When Joe Staska told us that he was heading to the Rally America produced New England Forest Rally, we were excited. After all, Joe had produced some awesome images from the Mt. Washington Hill Climb event just a few weeks ago and we could only imagine what he’d show up with after a trip into the woods of Maine with some of the best rally drivers in the USA. The results are shown below in the gallery and they are fantastic.

Joe related a cool story to us about shooting the event and having some help in navigating around to see the different stages, areas of the course, etc. Having never shot a big rally like this, the advice and guidance was really well received because by his own admission if he didn’t have the help he’d have been wandering around the woods trying to figure out where to go to shoot the next stage! He had a great time and the resulting images from his prime positions on corners and other interesting parts of the track are great.

Joe had this to add about his experience:

The New England Forest Rally is something that you should check out for yourself if you are a race fan. Any type of race fan. This rally has such a great vibe, too. Everyone is so friendly to each other. Walking through a service area and looking around, I was offered BBQ’d chicken by a team that was working on their car, working frantically to get it out of the service in the regulated time. They were as busy as a ten pecker’d hound dog and they are offered ME food. I’m from the Boston area. I’m not used to hospitality like this. That team was Bangor, Maine’s local favorite John Cassidy and Dave Getchell who run the Last Ditch Racing, 2003 Subaru WRX STI. Thank you guys!

Check the Rally America website for some broadcast information for this rally and watch it for yourself on NBC Sports Network. The broadcast of the Climb To The Clouds on Mt. Washington is on this Saturday 8/2/14 at 12:30 p.m.. Watch the New England Forrest Rally on TV in a few weeks and then plan for it next year. Take the family for a great weekend that they will all remember. Watch the race up close and personal and taste the fine dust of the great states of Maine and New Hampshire.  Staged rally racing is sick! Rally America runs it very well. We have a truly awesome rally race here in New England.
