Armadillo Rally Logistics or ARL was created in 2005 as a non-profit organization (501C4 according to the Feds) to conduct and support events such as Rallye de Paris. The directors are Juanita and Richard Miller and Steve Bartz. ARL was created to take the place of the Texas Region SCCA as the SCCA can no longer sanction performance rally. Not that we could take the place of SCCA but another organization was needed. And one difference between ARL and SCCA is that you don't have to be a member of ARL to work you rear off at a rally. Another organization you may hear of occasionally is Rally Engineering (TBPE firm #F-8663). This is a licensed professional engineering firm formed by Richard and Juanita Miller. Despite being an engineering firm as licensed by the state of Texas, Rally Engineering does not currently offer engineering services to the public. Rather, this is the company formed for Richard and Juanita to go play with cars But despite what this sounds like, ARL and Rallye de Paris are not the production of only Juanita and Richard. Biographies will be added as the individuals chose to reveal their inner selves. Mean while, here is a little about the core workers. Bob Benson: Chief of Controls for Rallye de Paris. Long time rallyist associated with Great Race, a TSD rally for vintage cars. Driving instructor for Porsche Club. John, N5GRE, & Phyllis Camp Chiefs of Scoring. Owns a 1970’s Orange Porsche 911 that you will see on many a gimmick rally in the area. And is a vital part of the Tour de Paris Bicycle Rally Logistics crew. Howard Hale KE5KGM Drove Car 00 in 2007 and radio marshal for Rallye de Paris in 2008. In 2009, Howard was the crew chief for Richard and Juanita at 100AW Rally in Salem Missouri and helped them win the 2008 G5 Regional Rally National Championship. Carrye Johnstone KD5RFB: Registrar and Chief of Communications for Rallye de Paris. Race worker for Dallas Grand Prix. Past RE of Texas Region SCCA. Rally Engineering service crew. When you leave your service crew in the woods together for long periods of time, strange things can happen. Ken and Carrye spent many long nights in the back of the Rally Engineering service truck so they had to get married. Ken Johnstone KE5CDO: Assist Rally Master which means he does all the work while the Rally Master takes the credit. Service crew for Rally Engineering. Long time rallyist. First rally in 1960 something. Collector of Datsun Z cars. Solo racer. Roger Jones KD5UJL: Worker Coordinator, Spectator Safety Marshal, Web Master, distributor of emails for Rallye de Paris. TSD rallyist since the ‘60’s. Autocrossing since the first TR 4 was purchased in the mid 60’s. Current Corvette driver. Service crew for Rally Engineering. Juanita Miller KD5PXN: Chairman of Rallye de Paris. Co-driver for Rally Engineering, Solo driver, race driver, Engine builder. Chemical engineer, soon to be environmental engineer. Southwest Division Group 2 and Group 5 champion co-driver. Richard Miller KD5PXM: Rally Master of Rallye de Paris. Driver for Rally Engineering, Solo driver, race driver, . Electrical engineer. Writer. Southwest Division Group 5 champion driver. All those funny letters and numbers after people's names? Those are ham radio call signs. Ham radio is used for the safety net at almost all performance rallies and almost every one of the core committee is a ham. And it can safely be said of the entire group, none will ever grow old in spirit. All still play with cars. |
