This has been on my calendar for ages and I have been really looking forward to competing. However my Father arrives from England in less than 2 weeks and my place is not ready. I have had to cancel so many things in the past few weeks and sadly this event is one of them.

I'd like to thank Greg & Silke for all the time and effort they've put in to writing and organizing this rallye. Plus all those who have helped with pre-checks and those who will be working the event on Saturday.

I know that those who show up will have a wonderful time. And those who don't (myself included) are missing something special.

I'll be there, but it looks like I'll be helping run check points. My friend is coming out in his e40 325 as well, and he wants to run.

I THINK he might need a navigator if anyone might be interested.

Nice. I just checked one out at Prestige in Santa Rosa. Pretty damn nice if you ask me.

I love to go, but I don't have a navigator....

Can I drive alone or will it be to hard, and what is the latest I can arrive @ the Petaluma location? Also what time is this over, I need to be in Cupertino by 11pm.

Just got back. My buddy and I had a great time and the subie got a much needed workout. I forgot how fun those roads are. Second place and a huge bottle of wine as a prize -- very nice.

Congrats to the JDM white wagon for placing first (co-driver, please post pics), and thanks to Greg and all the workers.

Thanks also to the Subaru guy for entering and letting us test drive the 08 Impreza on that bit of twisty road!

Looking forward to the next one!

Great roads and a great time had. Thanks to Silke and Greg for putting this on! I think the late afternoon/early evening start worked great in terms of other cars on the roads. Wish I could've joined you for pizza, but it was not to be

I hope everyone had a good time as I know I certainly did, even as a worker!

Hopefully some people post up some pics. I only got a couple of pics from the first checkpoint...

I was too lazy to bring the camera in to the pizza parlor.
