Woohoo! On Saturday morning we earned our third URO2 leg, completing our title. In the afternoon we got our first leg for URO3, which was also a 2nd place. Unfortunately I screwed up in the Sunday morning trial, going around … Continue reading →
Part 4, Wednesday, Dec. 9th And today, RAE leg #9. It was weird doing rally in a ballroom inside a convention center. The carpet was covered with plastic “cling wrap”, and in the rings rubber mats were laid out on … Continue reading →
