Well, Kieran and I got back at 2AM this morning after 22 hours bringing the Focus and Futoshi back to his place in Indianapolis and then on to Raleigh. Tired.
A rock managed to do this on stage 8: 
And Kenny Thornstenson and I (as first time crew chief) had to retreive them from the end of the stage. Kieran, with help from sweep, managed to get the spare mounted but the strut was destroyed as was the brake line on that corner. So no brakes as they crept off the stage. Kenny and I managed to get it sorted by about 3AM on Saturday and they re-entered under Super Rally rules. They went on to get 12th overall and 4th 2WD.
