Rally Colorado 2026 Recap | Black Hole Rally Team
Crash Landing 💥
Coming into this event we knew it would be a challenge. With a new car, new co-driver, and 68 entries, there was no escaping trouble. The weekend started off strong with shakedown and we were feeling good. Our first issue came on SS6 when we clipped a rock on the inside and pulled the tie-rod out of its socket. In fear of an impending severe thunderstorm, Jeremy and I used a rock to hammer the rod back in place to limp out of the stage. This thunderstorm would cancel the rest of SS6 and would also impact the following stages and canceled 2 of them. The problems didn’t stop there…
Day 2 started with no intercoms, we ran the entire SS7 with hand signals that were made up on the spot. Then our rally ended on SS9 with a rollover. Crew ok ✅. All of the safety equipment did its job flawlessly and we were able to walk away mostly unharmed.
Overall, I’d call this rally a success! I learned so much about the car, driving fast, and the driving style changes for a heavier, more powerful car. Even had my highest speed factor of 83!Having Jeremy Agostino in the car was a good feeling and taught me a lot! Can’t wait to get back out there, there is a lot of work to do…
