With this revelation and seeing the SlowTi ressurected (in person, even), I just got goose-bumps. And can't stop saying "Wow" over and over again... Ojibwe just keeps sounding better and better!
I was so excited to work on the car yesterday...it is awesome! Here are some of my random pics...from yesterday.
Congrats! Must have been a really convincing 250 words or less. What are the stipulations of the program? Do you have to return the car whole, or in a certain condition? If not, part out? :laugh:
If anyone is going to be up there thursday night til saturday night, and has room in their hotel. Can I crash on the couch? Ill be up there shooting for DirtyImpreza.com. I have a campsite, but id much rather be indoors with all my camera gear. 952 594 4473 either shoot me a text or a PM. -Adam
I'll vouch for adam. He'll have most of my camera gear so I'd also prefer it if it was inside lol. Our rooms are crammed otherwise you know we'd put you up
I'm bunking with Tim the Plumber all weekend starting Thursday. If I can save any money at all, and Tim is cool with it, maybe we can share our room and I'll bring my air matress! More money = more alcohol for Saturday!
More pics of the 2010 I will be running at Ojibwe can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=23329&id=1625770285&l=9b6bded691
So is it wrong that I have worked both of those corners.:ugh: Also, the truck at the end is Frank. He runs at the rallyx's. He always runs sweep at Ojibwe and the Nedmaji trail rallies. Russ
Weather is lookin not too shabby so far: http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=bemidji, mn&wuSelect=WEATHER
LOL This link allowed me to get into Facebook from work...that is almost impossible. YOu ROCK MARK! Thanks for keeping my addiction alive. :laugh:
Anyone leaving Friday and wants someone to ride with them or wants to ride with me? My buddy bailed on me so It would just be me.
so if for the most part for bannering and heading out to your marshal spot you take ur own car back.. would it be recommended to NOT have summer tires on the car and run the winters? or are the roads not that soft?
you'd be fine with summers, you do do a bit of highway driving as well going out to the stages and stuff too, so I don't know if you'd want to have the winters on for that.
what kind of car are you driving out to the stages? depending on the marshall point you may end up driving out on the stage road. that could mean some pretty rutted up roads. however, the OFR roads are pretty sandy and not too hard on cars IF you take it easy.
Packed and good to go! I did just think of something, though. It might be a cool idea to have some spotted cards on hand: http://mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33845 (can only view if you're a MNSOC member). I'll print off a few sheets and bring along, if anyone needs some. RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY rrrr...allll..yyyy.....y... RALLY!
i was going to drive my sti up im just leaving the summer on don't think it should be really a big deal as long as it doesn't rain.
We just came off the practice stage. The car is driving well, dave is transitioning to stage notes naturally and my nerves are minimal. Utechts mustang is sexy time! Anyway, off to finish registering and check into the hotel.
Just sent in my head shots for my media credentials... If you see a guy with a 1/2 sleeve (if the weather is decent) say hi... I'll have a vest (orange I'm assuming) on with a backpack and wielding a SLR. I haven't had a chance to cover a rally event yet. Should be interesting. Covered every other form of racing.
weathermen/weatherwomen and websites lie all the time...I was hoping for a real time description, but thank you
would this sway your decision? can someone please take the time up there from driving and working to provide this gentlemen a weather report??? haha, it'll be nice man. I trust the weather chanel.
^^ trying man. You'll know if Im at the hotel when you guys get out of the woods. I dont think the phones are working up there, I got cut off a couple of time with the plumber yesterday.
Weathers a bit cold and drizzling off and on. Looks like its gonna clear up. Forecast says it should be clear by 2. Should keep the dust down at least. First car at 430?
Still drizzling. Supposed to clear later. Hopefully the dust isn't bad but on the flip side it isn't so wet we need to cut our tires or swap to a different compound
yes word does travel fast block is out for weekend. get his autograph on a few things. Carl is doing what he does best....i hear the car is fine...in whoes book though? joking
got a few things signed by block and a photo with him. as for carl....he doing what he does best. i hear nothing to bad, but he set the bar high last time........ joke. at least its not as bad as block....
looks like utecth won the regional rally tonight and is second in max attack behind laughlin in the well sorted SRT-4 by around 2 minutes. sadly the results show carl as having crashed out on SS3. wonder if it is fixable for running the sat. regional? really cool to see so many 2wd cars out there running so well!
