Thanks mate, we both really appreciate all the help everyone of you gave use over the weekend. Despite how hard we tried to break that car you guys kept making us go back out

Pete, when/where is Treeline?

Laughlin is a possible as well for this year if sponsorship comes through

Mike

Treeline is the sole RA rally in CA this year, it runs in the mountains above Monrovia and Covina, typically starting near the Mt Wilson observatory and running both directions on the fire roads down to San Gabriel Canyon.

I think this year it's scheduled for July 17 or something like that- just 1 week before Golden West at the other end of the state.

So actually forget that- come up and do Golden West instead....

because of the prep and neils smart instinct to joy ride the special stage and the hard work in service the car finished

things learned at rim
neils car needs a new skid plate
be ready to bust **** when the car comes in with some *****ing camber in the rear
waiting sucks

stay away from dynapack dynos
neils car needs a new skid plate

yeah, congrats guys. pretty awsome finish considering where you started, and all the mishaps.

fun times...

things i learned at rim:

1. waiting gives me time to catch up on beauty rest.
2. chelsea's waaaay too hyper.
3. stay clear of tommy, dre, and chelsea when they're throwing ish at each other.
4. pack some TUMS for moike.
5. bring some extra for james along with some chocolate milk
6. the entire crew at rim did a great job (drivers and wrenchers).
