New England Forest Rally 2007

The New England Forest Rally descended upon the Bethel-Mexico-Berlin-Errol area once again, and 38 competitors started this year's rally, some of them competing for a wildcard spot to the X Games in August.

The 15.3-mile Middle Dam Out stage featured a route included in prior Maine Forest Rallies but not in recent years; as the result of recent logging activity, a normally-open culvert was bridged and racers were treated to a return of this stage.
