This may be a rumor, but I think that the delay is caused by Vance and his team wanting to "go the extra mile" in map detail. An example would be the topo overlay to help us find a level campsite. Another would be the GPS locations of the major event centers to help us create routes (for example, beer tent to restroom and back, assuming you can still read the screen).
I wonder if there are any other rumored upgrades?

Whats taking so long
I heard that they have inset little BMW Roundels in the road asphalt that will direct us to all the great BBQ places within a ten mile radius! Any truth to that?

But the roundels would be on almost every road.

The Rally Site layout will appear on the Web site this coming week. And it will run in the July issue.
Sorry Bud, it is not in the June issue.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Level is a relative thing. My lawn makes it look as flat as a table top.
Found it, http://www.bmwmoa.org/rally09//the_2009_rally_site_getting_there_from_i_26
It might be easier to find if this was under the International Rally tab with a viewable link.
Thanks for the links but none show where you can pick up your shipped packages, where vendor buildings are, security, beer garden, country store, car parking, camping and no camping areas, rest rooms, showers, seminar buildings, bike wash, what gates are open or one way, etc....I have some info, but I volunteer for registration every year and try to figure out where a lot of the stuff is in order to answer questions from rally participants. Many have already left home before they get the July issue of the News...most do not want to read the rally book before they get on the grounds and get set up....we get a lot of these questions at the registration area. I did find the fairground layout with the fairground labels in the vendor packet but it did not have our overlay on it to show our use for the buildings....I already have directions to Walmart....Is it July yet???

Bev,
There is a diagram of the rally site on page 11 of the Vendor Packet that can be downloaded from the International Rally part of this web site. I believe the diagram is oriented South Up.

Thanks Karl....already downloaded that diagram....it does not show the BMW overlay....ie....Beer Garden, Vendors, Seminars, etc...it did show how many buildings there are at least. So far as I know Bldg 9 will be Country Store, Bldg 10 will be Vendor #2, Bldg 13 will be Vendor #1.

we are working on the layout map now for the rally program. we will have this posted as soon as possible but be sure we will be able to brief you prior to the opening of registration. Certain things required relocation late in the game thus any previous maps would be incorrect. It is not a hard place to navigate once there and I think all will be pleased wit hthe layout. It is coming quickly now....can you feel the magic????

I have posted the preliminary 2009 Rally grounds map on the BMW MOA homepage. A more detailed map will be available at Registration at the Rally. Hope this helps.
