PFR - we got our drama towards the end

Hey Smiley

All my friends were asking me if PFR was an easy one... and it was, until the second to last stage. Here's the usual detailed description. Don't miss the picture of Chrissie with a manual throttle release!

Thanks for taking the time to write and post that, Leo. For sure it is so much more interesting when you have the inside scoop. I am really impressed with the throttle return solution - cannot quite imagination how you and Chrissie could coordinate that.

Congrats to Chrissie and yourself Smiley You've proven once again there's more to Rally than just the formal rolls of Driver and Co- Driver. An ability to utilize and improvise is what makes or breaks any sort of finish, Great Job !!!

Notifications don't work! I didn't get any Sad

Analyzing it after the event - probably a bungee between the pedal and the E-brake would have been even better.

It was impossible to time the throttle perfect with Chrissie, but a bungee would have worked as a spring and just made the pedal harder. Don't think that came up with this bungee idea... Stewart Hoo is the man!

By the way, the first BBR we won - the throttle was also sticking! Fate.
