We are so excited to be back in the woods for the 30th running of this great stage rally. After taking last year off, we are confident that we can put on a great event that will be both exciting and safe for our competitors, volunteers, and fans. This year, we will have a great field of made up of both the top names we all know as well as your local heroes. Also, for the first time at NEFR, we will have the exciting R5 cars competing. We are working to make NEFR even better for both competitors and fans! Newer, improved electronic car tracking and timing will make following the action and scoring faster and more accurate than ever. Make sure to follow along in the RallySafe app or at americanrallyassociation.org. Putting NEFR on each year is a huge undertaking and I want to thank our landowners (Seven Islands Land Co, Wagner Forest Management, Northeast Timberlands, the towns of Peru, Woodstock, Andover, & Errol, and the Maine Department of Conservation), local businesses, sponsors, and especially the volunteers who make the rally possible. Without all of you, none of this could happen. Thanks also to our host venues, Sunday River Resort and JML Trucking. And, of course, to all the competitors, crews, families, and fans for helping make the New England Forest Rally one of the best races in the US. The two goals of NEFR are to put on a great rally and to help grow the sport as a whole. Want to help? Be respectful of our landowners, patronize our sponsors and local businesses and mention NEFR wherever you stop. Be smart, be safe, share us on social media, and most of all – have fun!
