I tried to put in a fight for the final podium spot, but it was too little too late.

Yup, 4th is my best finish.  I should note that 6th is my previous best at this event, and being in a much faster car, I was aiming to better that, which I did.  But, I was so close to 3rd I could taste it!  If I had a better comfort level in the car before the start of the event, I might've had it.  It took me too long to get really warmed up.  Oh well, I'll save that for next time.  

Some of the novices put in some great runs.  Jon Strack did fantastic for his first event.  Peter Kocandrle apparently looked really great out there, and his times reflected that too.
I hear that the rwd cars of Martin Walter, and Greg Healey were a lot of fun to watch too.  Those guys were obviously having tons of fun and setting some really great times too.

Congratulations to Peter Gulliver, Peter Watt and the rest of the PMSC Organizing Committee for an excellent event!

The competition was intense with many teams putting in very impressive performances.  Peter Thompson & Rod Hendricksen lead from Start to Finish in their Evo and improved on their time with every pass of the road. Mark Williams and Jeff Secor were licking at their heels in their Subaru, followed closely by Chris Martin and Phil Narini, also in a Subaru.

In only his second rally and with only a 100 HP in his little Group 2 Suzuki, Peter Kocandrle with Glenna Chestnutt co-driving was blazing for 1st Group 2 and 7th O/A.

Great to see three Group 5 cars, lead by Martin Walter and Ryan Huber in a Nissan 240 X.

Ian Crerar had a pretty spectacular off at the same corner that was named after Rob MacKenzie. It was entertaining to see the big loader from the quarry pop the car back up on the road like a little toy.  

Thanks to all of those who worked and competed.  Organizing an event is a lot of work but when it all comes together and is succesful.

While I have been involved since creation of GCFR I have not had the full 'Organizer' title. My hat is off to Peter Watt and Rob Mackenzie who have carried out that role in the past. There groundwork allowed me to build from that.

Anyone have photos of the extraction from 'Crerar Crevive'  [formerly known as Rob's Holllow- no that is not spelt wrong]
