Rch, I'll get those posted on the SFR site sometime, in the mean time I'm up to me eyeballs on this project

And if anyone has any inclination to come out for a pre-check, the final pass is this weekend which promises to be cool with scattered showers, should be really nice up there!

Plus the car should still be in the shop

I was up there last weekend and it was just beautiful. If you can't make this event to run or work it, now is the time to go up and enjoy the area.

I drove with Pete today following along for about 120~ miles?

All I have to say is "WOW!!!" This is going to be an incredible rally! I am hoping to either compete next year, or co-drive with someone.

My lowered wagon did fine for the most part, just had to drive the sides of the road so I didn't bottom out on the center.
Man I wish it were easier to swap out my suspension!

I will hush now as I don't want pete looking for me if I said too much.

;P

Well it was in reference to an event that happened in the summer of 2005, and the general response from this club was.... no we don't like to drive on dirt roads.
