updates, part 2

June 20th, 2008

I just uploaded a couple hundred pictures from Doo Wops 2008 and Olympus 2008 and some technical pictures of the damage from the roll. I also uploaded a video of the sweep crew rolling us back over on stage. Fun!

We’re still analyzing options for future plans. The goal is to be back out there by Oregon Trail at the latest. Stay tuned for more updates!

updates

May 11th, 2008

I’ve updated the schedule, results and video pages to reflect our Olympus experience. Next on the update schedule is an updating of the photo gallery with pictures from Doo Wops and Olympus.

We’re working on some ways that people will be able to help us build a new car. Look for those updates as soon as we get a plan for a new car solidified.

brief Olympus Rally debriefing

April 24th, 2008

stage 1: 13th overall national, 1st overall regional. fantastic. a couple late note calls, but nothing too scary.

stage 2: lost it on a right into a left, tried to correct, but it spun too far. met a dirt bank on the front driver side corner, which increased the velocity of the spin. sent the passenger side corner deep into the dirt, flipping the car on it’s top. spun another 180 on the top and came to a rest. destroyed pretty good. to make matters worse, the video recorder got pulled off the mount and did not record the roll.

we’ve already had several generous offers for assistance. rest assured, our rally career is not over until the money runs out. keep checking here for some ways you might be able to help.

look for us out on stage again soon!
