[B]Group N[/B] - David Anton is all alone, as Todd Moberly has DNFed.

I think Subiegal rolled today, or it could have been Conley. A local guy posted it up on our local site. No pic though. Hope youre allright Jamie or Nathan, or whoever.

No live updates on r-a.com.


Looks like the cancelled stages because the mud was too much for the 2wd cars?

rally.subaru.com has testing pics of SRT at kens place in Utah it seems.

Yes...this is getting ridiculous.

We got off to a bit of a slow start...but, we caught up to within 1 second of Travis at the end of SS7. But, approx. 1/8 mile from the end of SS7, the engine started shuddering and smoking. We still finished the stage (and won it), but the engine was toast.

Apparently, I have pissed off the rally gods...anyone know any sacrifices to get back into their good favor???

Congrats on the impending birth, hope all goes well. As far as a sacrifice, your competitors trunk monkeys might appease the gods. Good luck in the future.

I've talked to the rally gods and the only way to get back on track is to hire me @ DC :D

SERIOUS!!! :)

The yellow wagon was a local Colorado car; I didn't hear it rolled or went into the water, but then I had to leave that afternoon. I worked the start for stages 3 and 5, (same stretch), and since legs 2 and 4 were cancelled (also a duplicate, but even more impassable than my stage), we didn't have a lot of downtime.

I've got some pictures of the start of stage 5, as well as the area around Hayden and Steamboat Springs. I'll put a link to this thread when I have them uploaded.

Iorio offered me $50 for every minute I delayed his start at Ojibwe. Maybe you could try bribing the workers...

...or hire Mykrrrr; he knows his stuff and is still inside the 18-34 demographic (I think).

The yellow wrx wagon was conley, he did roll it(saw the video that night) right at the spectator section of stage 7, it wasn't that bad of a roll. If you look at the video, almost EVERYBODY lost it a little right there. Downhill, square left, slippery mud, water hole on left, exposure(kinda) on right. I was driving the primitive racing sponsored 000 and went off right there, but luckily wasn't going too fast, so I just slid off and was able to continue after about 5 mins. Another competitor went off right there too(silver GC I believe) I forgot their names/numbers, but they didn't roll, lost a bumper, and kept going. Coloradocogrally.com or rally-america.com should have some videos up for sale later this week. If you ever want to volunteer for a rally, try to get a zero car position, you don't see much of the real cars racing, but you get to see every stage/transit. It's great. But don't try for 000 next year at cog, it's already taken!
bjorn240 09-25-2006 12:12 PM

Yes, that's right folks, the 000 car went off the road! Can you say, "Slippy"?
Yotsuya 09-25-2006 12:23 PM

I'll register as a zero when I have proper tires for the conditions:

Other than the soft clay, the weather was great on the first day:

Cancelling stages two and four gave everyone ample time to work off the jitters:

Congrats, let us know when the birth takes place so we can setup your sacrifice with the Rally gods.

I'm not quite sure what to do about your wife though :D
