Jacob Literal first began volunteering in rally around 2011–2012, working ATC one year and spectator control another on Fir Mountain.

A member of Cowbell Rally, Jacob has been involved across nearly every aspect of the sport—progressing from road marshal and spectator control to stage captain, advance, and since 2022, serving as Chief of Controls and Advance.

In Jacob's own words

"Every rally seems to a memorable event, in its own way. Which is why everyone should volunteer for one!"

"I feel after so many years of volunteering, it starts to become a commitment. Every rally I learn something new. I always enjoy sharing that knowledge with other, and new volunteers."

Volunteering at rally allows Jacob "to be able to provide a great event for spectators and for competitors. To share the love of the sport with fellow volunteers. To teach anyone willing on how to become a volunteer. Fast cars and fast roads. OTR does have very scenic stages."
