Welcome our new marketing director – Amy. She recently graduated from the University of South Caroline with a degree in Sports Management. She brings a lot of new ideas and energy to the team and we are glad to have her. She is a real trooper considering she drove out and back with Bill and I to northern Minnesotta.
Welcome Amy!!
Ojibwe is a great event! The roads are smooth, the stages are technical with a lot of tight and linked turns. All that being said it was a very mediocre to poor performance for us – specifically me.
Simply put – Scott called a “Right 3 tightens – drop on outside”. My racing line was slightly left of the optimal line so I tried to adjust and bring it in. Well we got caught in heavy pea gravel and I couldnt get the car out of the gravel.

I tried to make some posts while I was in Los Angeles but was having some serious connection problems. Who knows maybe ABC/ESPN didn’t want any real time blogging there. Anyways here are my thoughts on the event.
Simply put – It was great made for TV rallying. I know that a lot of you don’t understand the sport that well (ok maybe not at all) but there is a difference between what was on ABC on Sunday and what we compete in. Not a lot but some. In the World Rally Championship series they superspecial stages in stadiums and the teams compete head to head. That is very new for US based rallying but I thought it worked well.
