    Hope to see some of you out there for what is arguably the best rally in the championship. Personally one of my favorites and this year looks to be epic. The entry list has already maxed out (66 entries, cap is 60). Also, we may need crew as most of our regulars can't make it.

    I'm considering taking some vacation days and heading out there. I'm worthless as a mechanic/engineer. I can, however, crack a beer like a champ.

    68 registrants now and only 1 Vermont Sportscar driver? Wounder who it will be? Also don't see a certain Fiesta on that list, I wounder if he's waiting for it to be filled up so he doesn't have to add another dnf to his list...

    Oh, there will be lots of pictures. There are so many spectators at this event, there are always a ton of pictures.


    If anyone is thinking of coming, start looking at lodging. At least one local hotel decided pretty last minute to close for the winter this year. And with this many teams coming.....yea

    Who are you thinking of, KB? Is he running R-A events this year? The only Fiestas I was expecting to see were DVW and Duplessis, and they're both on there.



    I do see an Open Light Celica.....

    Also, I'm excited to see Bill Caswell in an AWD car....

    Carl started 12th on stage 12 but i don't see his name on ANY of the results for any stage... not sure what's going on there, but he's steadily moving up. Higgins was winning most stages last I looked.

    We are regional. Rally-america lists regional and national entries separately.

    I was watching it on livestream, but their camera battery died. So either I missed ya before I got the stream working, or you guys went buy after the battery died. Either way, the livestream was pretty cool. I hope they do that for the rest of the rallies.

    Way to go Carl and Dave.

    Great job keeping it clean and getting on the podium. The conditions were so bad it was almost funny. I had Benny Hill music playing in my head the whole event. Congrats on the double second place. I will keep an eye out for pictures/videos of 171 for you, if you could possibly do the same for me.

    Are you planning to run 100AW?

    Planning on it, just a little short on cash like everyone else. I'll have to remember you were in a Subaru and not the Nissan lol.

    Yah, it was definitely a little strange. On the plus side, I think I finally understand why you guys love these cars so much. AWD is kind of fun. I would love to try it again some time. I am almost temped to build an open class car. Max Attach money is so tempting though. 239 was our number btw.
