What a race weekend! The rally gods brought brutally hot temps both days. Dragon Trail was a great opening stage, we had a good flow and were feeling great. We managed to stave off overheating issues after Cathedral. We also had an unhappy right rear strut, but we pushed on. We had a decent run though Valley of the Gods, finding a rhythm within the chaos and notes-heavy action.
The second section of Saturday was going well, we had a great second pass on Dragon Trail. Cathedral got cancelled a few cars before us, so we transited through. As we arrived at Valley of the Gods, an intense thunderstorm hit the area. That storm turned that stage into a treacherous muddy obstacle course. We managed to get through to the end of that stage, only to encounter an absolute downpour on the transit back. Thankfully all of the other competitors and volunteers on stage got out safely too. At the end of the day, Mike set out to work to swap suspension components and handle a few other miscellaneous issues with the car.
The heavy rain on Saturday took a toll on the roads to be used for Sunday. The start was pushed out by an hour to allow for an assessment of the road conditions. Quest for Darwin had a new river and road damage mid stage, so that stage was cancelled for both runnings. Road condition notes for muddy and standing water were distributed to the teams to aid in avoiding those tricky spots. The first running of Earl’s Bad Day had an incident early on (both crew were checked out and ok), so we went straight to Gods of the Valley. That stage unfortunately had an incident too (both crew also okay) so they cancelled the stage and we went back to service.
Earl’s was a wild ride, but we got to the other side. Gods of the Valley was the final stage, and ~6 miles in our right front strut rod sheered so we limped through the last 7 miles, losing several minutes but we made it through and transited back to MTC to finish! That landed us 5th in NA4WD and 18th in the regional overall, and we are happy to have survived such a tough rally.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and for helping put on this race during such tough conditions!
