2009 Season complete

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I’ve been more than a little lax in team updates, but we finished up the 2009 season at LSPR this weekend.
It was a fun weekend, with plenty of problems. Hoping to get an update posted soon.
Until then, here’s a bit of in-car:
SS9 - Menge Creek. This corner caught out over half the field [...]

back from NEFR!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I finally made it back, surprised that Chad didn’t updated anything here yet.  Hopefully he’ll do a full recap soon with in-car.
The big news for the weekend was we came in 3rd in 2wd for the weekend in the Max-Attack event, winning a prize of $1000!  It was a tough battle that was tougher on [...]

We set up a twitter profile just for the team that I plan on updating at the rallies we’re at this year.  It should end up being the best way to keep up stage by stage with what we’re up to (if we have cell coverage!)

Do you know this 100AW volunteer?

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

It looks like he was holding a camera. I’d love to see what pictures and/or video he took.
This was “the corner” on Stage 3. I think it was about 9 miles into the stage, just a mile and a half from the finish.
P.S. Thanks to all the workers, organizers and volunteers for making [...]

Back from 100AW

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

I’m thinking Chad will be working on videos and stuff, but just to update-
Friday we finished 1st in G2 after a surprise turn and brush with tree that almost ended the rally.
We go the car all repaired and other than alignment issues Saturday we did OK, with the exception of a stage with an electrical [...]

Off to 100 Acre Wood!

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Just waiting for Chad right now to pick me up to head down to 100 Acre Wood/Trespasser’s Will Rally down in Salem, MO.
Should be fun, this was one of my favorite rallies that I drove myself when i was driving, now it’ll be fun to be back codriving.  I’m hoping for some fast gravel, but [...]

No more white door

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Since the photog’s can’t seem to remember to only take pictures of the co-driver side of my car, I took advantage of the near 60 degree temps today and painted the new door and fender.

The bad (and good) news is that I ran out of paint. Bad because I didn’t quite get two full [...]

We should figure out how to update this thing from sno*drift.

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

That way all of our fans can check us out.  I’m guessing we can try for wireless at night somewhere if we get time, but it’d be nice to have a way to do it with a cell phone.  I’ll have to check that out.

Wintertime diversions

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

I got sick of working on the rally car last weekend, so I took my WRX out to the ice rallyx with Fox Valley Sports Car Club on Lake Winnebago.
It was a great event. Just enough snow to make the course easy to follow, not enough to get stuck if you missed a corner. [...]
