ok, the car will be fine.
i'll be up there friday afternoon.

-rich

 

just made the hotel reservations.

christina is coming for sure now. she was a little up in the air not knowing if she was going to be able to get friday off.

i'll bring my camera and try to get some good video of the cars while working check points.

Hey Rich,

What time you and Christina heading up there? I get off work at 1pm in Emeryville and plan to hit the road immediately!

Jane

 

we might end up leaving early and having lunch up in Chico over at my aunt and uncles place. Haven't really decided yet though.

-rich

 

Okay. I'll see you guys up there then.
Jane

 

well, the cars all packed up and ready to go. bringing way more stuff than i need, but that's how i roll

-rich

 

Well I'm glad you're packed. I just got home ... starving and tired ... and they want me to do extra hours at work now that race / rallye season has arrived. I just laughed at them - seriously - and said no go for at least a couple of weeks.

 

well, it's shorty after 3 am and i can't sleep. this happens to me everytime there's a big car event. i'm like a kid at x-mas.

just i'll just be beat tonight.

christina is in bed sleeping away and probably doesnt even notice me being gone. Damn, i wish i was sleeping. i laid in bed for more than an hour traying to get back to sleep but nothing worked.

guess i'll make some sleepy time tea and put on a slow moving foreign film till the Tour De France comes on at 5:30.

-rich

 

See you all up there!
-Bryan

 

well got back an hour ago.
thanks again Pete, great friggin rally.

if it wasn't so far away and so hot i'd love to spend alot of time up there beating the **** out of my car.

Bryan, nice to have met you. Hopefully we'll see you on future drive/rally's

 

Yes, thank you Pete - that was a great introduction to TSD rally for us, great roads - and the views!

We're already looking forward to the next one. Those Canadian ones sound interesting too.. no calculators? Hardcore.

Also nice meeting you all - I think you'll be seeing more of us in the future.

Let me know next time you're looking to drive in the dirt!

if all go well with my car. hopefully it'll be in the near future.

-rich

 

Pete, Many thanks for all your hard work in putting on another great rally ... and it went extra smooth this time!

Rich & Christina, I enjoyed hanging out with you guys.

Bryan & Thy, it was good to meet you. Welcome to the rally world!
