Not the we had hoped for.
All dreams were dashed when we blew 3rd gear on SS4 which caused the transmission to lock in 4th for the remainder of the loop.
Upon swapping the transmission in service, we split open a fuel line which forced us to DNF for the day. That evening we towed it to where Pat fabbed us up a new fuel line and enabled us to restart for the final day.
After rejoining on Day 3 with time penalties, the plan was to run with a clean pace and try to recoup some championship points.
Unfortunately on SS17, we hit a hidden drainage culvert which cause extensive suspension damage. Somehow the car was still driveable and we were able to limp it through the last 3 stages to make it to the finish. A character building event, that’s for sure.
The result dropped us to 5th in the overall ARA championship but we are still leading the Limited class.
Thanks to all my sponsors who always have my back. Sorry we couldn’t bring home a better finish.
