Maybe somebody forgot to 'splain to 'em that they're 'spossed to go slow on the public rods and fast on the stages. Averaging 39 won't even get you a ticket in a 35mph zone... Maybe it was all a BIG misunderstanding...  John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!

You know what - at least they got out there and ran an event instead of sitting around talking about it or taking long enough to build a car that the cage needs serious updating when the car is done.
Why so slow? I have no idea, I wasn't there. Mechanical problems, bad tire choice, first time rally jitters, brutal gearing (if they ended up in a Fiesta, the stock N/A box has horrible gearing and final drive)... could be lots or reasons. I have no idea what that roads are like, so maybe they are just 'slow' roads. Speeding fines were handed out like candy, nothing special there either. I can't remember their names so I don't know which team we're talking about but it isn't like there is one team that is alone at the back of the pack running well behind the field. Did they finish the event? If so, they did better than a good portion of the field.
