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!

It was Eels' Lake, but not a corner. I was trying to slow down for a frost heave, got one wheel into the softer snow on the edge and I was pulled into the ditch. (@ 11:29 on your CP3 to BQZ video)

I'd also like to thank all the other competitors who stopped to make sure we were okay and try to pull us out.

I would like to second Norm's thanks. Not one team went by without slowing or stopping. We tried to make sure we waved people on.

I got my first video converted... here's a start.  Keep in mind, this is 4:40 in the morning, and we're not the sharpest tools in the shed at this time.
