Location was special request to organizer - don't want "black beauty" getting any stone chips on her Notice there sure wasn't any room at your checkpt for competitors to pull over safely either.

It was frozen when I went in, and thankfully it didn't warm up enough for me to sink in. Shocked

I was really slow and deliberate when I backed it in there, and while we were there a bunch of pickups/trucks went by so I figured I could wave down help if I really needed it. Also, we had almost 2 hours from closing time to opening of our next control, so I could work on it for a while if needed. Meh, it's not a rallycar if you're not willing to get it stuck on occasion Wink

Besides a sticker and a smile, they even offered me their snacks when I arrived at their CP. Thanks again guys and I'll return the favour the next time I see you at a CP.

Its the one where I had to turn around and come back. I wasn't even sure if it was a check point. My first thought was, "did somebody spin off the road already?", . Lesson learned my first time out.
