North American Fall Rally Parking Team 2023

You knew it was going to happen. Just like the sun rises in the east, the spring follows the winter, and penguins taste like chicken, the inevitable is coming to Goshen. And I'm not talking about a bacon and avocado omelette at the Lux. We're talking about one of the most exclusive groups known to the mostly mid-northern central-eastern part of Indiana. Nothing comes close within hundreds of yards. If you're thinking of the MOC Rally 2023 Parking Team, you would be right on the money. (something I still haven't seen from last years participants but I can dream can't I)


And this year we have a special treat. Due to the fact that seven days is too few, and eight days still didn't cut it, we seem to have the vast majority of campers wanting to come in on the sixth. About three quarters last I heard. Good for us. And now for the treat. The WMs have arranged to get us ten camping sites in the 400 loop to allow early arrivals for parking volunteers. This means that those that will be available for parking duties on Wednesday can come and set up on Tuesday. You will have to pay the WMs cash money (30$, I think) for Tuesday night. You will also have to help out (a lot) on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be a breeze but until we can get more of our team on site we will be busy.


This is a one time good deal because we're only doing it once this year.


And now for something completely different. We're not using this thread for signups. There will be a link at the end of this post to click on for signing up. It is a new procedure that I haven't worked with yet. It may preclude my thanking those that sign up in an expeditious manner. Sorry about that. I'll see what I can do.



You can still ask questions on this thread, as far as I know. I will also post instructions, updates, and answers on this thread. Stand by for multiple cut and pastes.


As was done before, a few golf carts will be loaned to us from the WMs for parking duty. If you rent/have one you can use it and lower the per mile cost of it. Electric bikes also will help.


Please include in the notes portion of the sign up thingy your date of arrival and if AM or PM. I will allocate the first ten spots Tuesday based on time of sign up. I will also keep track of a standby list in case of cancellations. Naturally those coming in on Wednesday will have priority parking so we can put you to work.


Job descriptions and arrival instructions will be posted in a future post. So the post that will have the posted material will post separately.


Would the first or second person who uses the following link let me know if it works. I don't know if I did it right. I'm an analog guy in a digital age.
Funny though, center fire primers always work.

I knew that. Sometimes rock n rye can change perceptions. Like parallax only different. With a higher alcohol content.

Great response four hours into the listing. Here goes some replies. Sorry about the group thing but I'm not sure how to do it otherwise with the new format.


Clark and Peggy-welcome back and nine on Wed is great, we'll have you set up before brunch and working before lunch.


Wayne H- the fifth would work but you have to commit so we can work out camping sites.


Ron and Rhonda- you didn't waste any time this year. The fifth it is. Rhonda, you and Carrie play nice with the sign in sheet. You shouldn't have to move.



Butch L- the fifth it is. Remember, I need my coffee in the morning (and afternoon and evening) If I'm not there you can park yourself.


Larry P- I won't be there until the afternoon of the fifth. Unless I get lucky and can come in the fourth. Not likely as it is the holiday. So you and Butch L may be parking each other.


Steve L- got you down for the fifth.


Butch J- you too on the fifth


Donald G- I'm not sure what two days early is. I need a day or date.


For those planning on arriving the fifth, Once I get the full ten volunteers. (me included) I will let you know more of what to expect. I'll have to give your names to the WMs for site assignment. The good news is is that it is almost impossible to screw up in the 400 loop. And I said "almost".



Looks like another awesome year.

I knew I would screw this up.


Lee C-Whenever you can make it on the sixth. The earlier you arrive the sooner you can help. Also it will be much less crowded in the AM.

Donald, coming in on the sixth is no problem. Howsomever, if you want to come in on the fifth you have to commit. I've only got ten sites for the night of the fifth. You won't be able to get in without one. If you want to come in on the sixth but later change your mind, there are other places to camp nearby on the fifth and you could come in early on the sixth. Doing the opposite and saying the fifth but coming in on the sixth would cost us a Parking Team member for early on the sixth. And the sixth is going to be very busy. ps Welcome back.

Thanks Ed, something with mag wheels and tuck and roll seats would be great. Maybe a flame paint job.

Aw to heck with it all! This sounds like more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Spotting close to 150 rigs in one day - how hard can it be? No guts - no glory - Hooyah!
