Goin' to Texas this weekend.
 

For the last official SCCA sanctioned rally. Rally De Paris is this weekend in Paris, Texas. I'll be down there helping crew for Mark Utecht. So I will be enjoying a little warmer temps for this weekend. More info can be found at this site ( www.rallyengr.com ). I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Awesome - have fun!!

I was over at Mike Wrays this morning and he is going down to crew for him as well. Good luck and have fun, I've heard they have the best parties at that rally.

Well, Mark took 1st overall out of 18 cars. The most we had to fix was the zip-ties on the bellypans. It was pretty cool. It was kind of a large scale rallycross. They ran the same stage twice in a row, then did them in reverse. They had a service between each stage. The stage was 7 1/2 miles long.

There was one corner where everyone was going off. The only difference between competitors was how bad. One car (a DSM) went about 150 yards offroad. They were able to get him back on to the road and according to the conversation on the net "He's under his own power and is running down the satge like a scared rabbit." Luckily he was able to make it to the finish before he was time barred. He then lost his turbo on stage 3 so he had to continue the rest of the rally NA. He had a Vein Controller so he could run that way. He just plugged the oil line to the turbo and away he went. He finished both rallies (both were only 4 stages long).

All in all, it was really fun. I can't wait for SNO*Drift rally this January.
