The STi was firmly planted on the road. Thanks, I was just trying to get an impression of how bad those icy spots were.

We're thinking of going up one class to join Fred and Frank. Jake

I hope it will be okay with the organizers. Still waiting for the snowstorm.

Working checkpoints can be almost as much fun as competing (having a ham radio helps keep you entertained and informed).

Eels Lake Road? The handling after that uphill left hander was just silly. There were marks in the small banks from at least four vehicles by the time that we passed. I was hand over hand to counter the oversteer; in a car that usually can't produce oversteer. Heck, even the start of snow covered Eels Lake was a late morning wakeup call for us spoiled gravel drivers last night. Good thing that you kept sweep busy and awake. We don't want them to stop coming because no one uses their services. Wink

Our sincere and profound thanks go out to all of the folks who gave up their weekend to work very hard and make that a thoroughly enjoyable night. It turned out to be one of our smoothest rallies ever, even though it tested us in many ways. The rally was very professionally done to our usual high expectations for MLRC events. Bravo!

Stephen and Opal
