FLR SCCA RallyCross 3/3/2007 — “the one with the mud”

Once in a while I look back at the day’s photos and say to myself, “What is wrong with us?” This RallyCross was one of those times.

It was supposed to be cold that morning, and it was. The course was frozen mud with a layer of ice. A few quick parade laps broke up the ice, and the 4 wheel drive group drove first. The course was different from any other time I’ve driven it; at first it was hard yet slippery, but it soon turned to mush. Melting snow turned the field into a 33 acre mud puddle.

We had fun, but ended early. I finished sixth out of twelve cars (not too shabby).

In hindsight I wonder why we stayed out there for so long . . . the course was in such horrible shape, and we were just making it worse. Not to mention the messes we made out of our cars. Mine still isn’t clean, I don’t think it ever will be again. Somehow the mud got past the weatherstripping in the front door, inside the back passenger window, the driver’s side headlight, etc.

(Results coming soon)
