[QUOTE=bjorn240;15043554]Thanks, Chad! The technicians said it was ok to bring it back dirty, but not wrinkly, so that's what we did.
Travis drove a great event! We really struggled with Ojibwe last year, so we had some trepidation coming in, but Travis developed and executed a good strategy for handling the loose surface on Friday night, then drove very safely on Saturday morning. We had a brand new focus/concentration technique we tried on the 22 miler, and we did try to turn it up a few percent there, since the stage was definitely going to decide the rally. Obviously, the trick worked, since Travis was committed and perfectly clean for all 22 miles! Just a really good clean stage. As Jay said, I had the best seat in the house, and it was a great show.
Really really happy to get our first Rally America series win. But most happy to drive a well-planned and perfectly executed event. Couldn't ask for more. Really fantastic!
Chad & Jay, congrats on your finish - many more to come! John, congrats on the 3rd in PGT and 8th Overall - very nice! Greg, it was nice to meet you, your wife, and the towheaded youngsters - quite the charmers!

my oldest was cheering so hard for all the cars at the speedway i am surprised you guys couldnt hear her in the car. and i made sure she cheered for the co drivers too.
congrats on the win!
whatever that new strategy is for the long stage it sure as hell worked a lot better than mine. i tossed 3 pages out of the tulip route book on that one a couple years ago when i was only supposed to replace 2 of the pages. :o 6 miles w/no instructions is not a good way to make up time.

Did that focus technique involve intentionally emptying the bladder, or were you two just that in need of a break by that point? ;)

He wasn't talking about emptying the Camelbak bladders, Edstrom. And I was explaining the reason the other bladders required emptying. Sheesh, do I have to draw you a picture?

do you have a pair of those fancy DC rally shoes?
if so, how do they work for trips "to check out the trees?"

No, I'm not. I can't divulge a possible competitive advantage. Sorry.

i think it is much more than a possible advantage.
i think you poke him w/a sharp stick if he slows down too much.
maybe alex should try that.
