Great stuff, Alan! You told us two years ago that developing your skills as a co-driver was your number one priority and indeed clearly it was.

Question is, will you still speak to us regular folk?

So Alan, are you still putting your pants on one leg at a time? :)

Seriously though, terrific work.

Well done Alan, you've shown everyone that it is possible to rise to the top of this sport with hard work and determination.

On the way home from PFR, we managed to make Alan go quite flush in the face by announcing his success on the plane as we approached Toronto. I think deep down he appreciated it, but I'm sure he would have rather seen us fly on a different flight.

Alan, I am proud of you.

I knew from the time you were in your play pen that you would grow up to be Canadian champion rally co-driver. You were always so good with that Fisher Price busy box, although you did have a bit of trouble with the mirror. Something about objects being closer? I guess you learned from that to keep all other cars in the rear vision mirror.

Congratulations to you and Pat!

Mom
