I cant beleive I didnt know about this forum until now, cool place!

Thanks for your help Dave, it was invaluable yet again! We had some issues with the intercooler for the first few stages and developed a header leak later on but we started to be able to attack on SS5-8 and took back considerable time from travis and christian. The faster stages surely helped our faster car too!! Judging from their lines I know they were trying hard, which is all I can ask for, it was great to have a battle, especially with them! I mowed down countless small trees, 1 pheasant and at least 4 chipmunks while chasing them

The car was STRONG and despite a few smaller problems very reliable

Cannot wait for the next event

I've ruined at least two pairs of shorts getting boxes from you. First the suspension, and now the XRatty big brake kit. I'm just going to buy some Depends to wear for when the square rear beam stuff is done.

Good job guys!

The suspenders worked great John... they ate up the rough stuff and boy was it rough! We had one flat, flattened the exhaust, pushed the floor up 2" or more behind my seat, and dented everyting else under the car. But we kepyt it on teh road, finished 7th OA, 1st 2WD and 1st G5. Would like to have gone much faster but still getting the feel for the car, and are doing Baie Des Chaleurs in 2 weeks...

Great event! Well organized, great volenteers, ran full distance dispite some truck wandering a stage almost causing it to be scrubbed. And finished only 7 minutes late!


-Martin.

Great job though! I was talking about you the other day as I was selling some rally tires to a rallycross guy with a 240.

Please God don't let the enviro-nuts read the rallyanarchy forum. They'll try to shut down rally for sure.
