Just got back from WRC Rally Mexico

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Spent the last few days driving a crappy 1.6l Nissan around on dead dog ridden highways and so called dirt "roads" in Mexico.

Here are a few pictures from the rally.

Panizzi waiting by his Lancer to go into service. It was missing a few parts of the body on the rear and passenger front.

Kind of a slideshow pic of one of the Lancers flying by us after hitting a jump.

Damn you :)

I hate you! I completly forgot about that event. Thanks for the pics!

[Jana]

I'm so jealous! Thanks for sharing the pictures!! Did you have fun?

How did you get so lucky with your hotel basically on top of the podium? Must have been a blast. I would love to see the rest of the photos. If Alan doesnt have space here I do elsewhere.

Planning a trip next year to go down for a 30th b-day. Right now we have 8 people so far. Cant wait.

Looks like fun man!

Nice pics

[AJ]

Yeah, name of hotel for reservations is needed! I have plenty of space for pics so that's not a concern. Jana and I want to go to a WRC so bad and this one woud be the simplest to go see but the New Zealand and Austraila races would be my fist choice.

There are more pics and stuff here : http://www.rallymexico.com/gallery.asp

ROADTRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so mad when i wasn't able to go this year. I am definately setting time aside next year. Even if it lands on a rallycross!!!

[Jana]

Just curious, if you don't mind sharing, how much did your trip roughly cost (hotel, etc)?
