My Wednesday morning breakfast is still in the toaster man was a crazy busy week but I am so glad I got to wrap it up with the zip tie team had a great time crewing. By the way All systems nominal rally mazda is still flapping away
incredible event! 100 Acre Wood rally was a blast. The road conditions and weather were absolutely perfect. Big congrats to Carl for driving like a professional mad man! He attacked every stage with confidence and showed some pretty impressive car control skills. The difference between last year and this year is mind numbing. To the point that even when we were flying into some tight corners or hammering it out through kinks I found myself saying "he's going to nail this section!" Congrats Carl, you have really come along way and I'm honored to be able to experience every second of it with you! In closing...Yeah, too bad we had the fire saturday, but we were so satisified with our results throughout the weekend neither of us were too upset. Typical rally highs and lows.....but we're getting really good at rolling with the punches. I'm looking forward to beefing up the car and getting ready for the rest of the season... Press on...
Nice work Zip Ties! Did you do the recce? If so, what were your thoughts? Worth the extra time/cost for you? J Cox #558

Love it Tim. You did a good job. I really like the "Oh No" paint arrow and the paint flames. A classic.
driving through a river - there are low water bridges in MO, the one we hit prior to that pic was maybe 30' wide and 2' deep

^^yeah...ya that's us for sure! The Trunk Monkey is now the official mascot for the team and will remain with us until the end....or until his arms are ripped off Big thanks to Martin (Dynapar) for saving that little monkey from a gas station in Iowa. One look in his eyes you could see the relief that someone was finally saving him and taking him home...lol! Little did he know that he was soon to be taken for a ride of his life!:biggrin:
