Stage 4 of the rally, about 3 miles in, it begins to rain. This amps us both up as we haven’t done a stage in the rain in a LONG time. I heard a lot of complaints about traction and I have to tell you it didn’t seem to get any better or any worse for us. The wipers were on and I was trying to go faster then anyone who would slow for a rain storm.
I moved to an inside view for this rally, and I’m pleased to see that my steering wheel antics are not that bad. Two hands on the wheel except to shift. You can see the tach and how pinned I had it up the hills. Right around 12 minutes in, Christine gets a little nervous as we slide a bit for a caution right 4.

I’m so glad you guys had a good time. Watching the video was a lot of fun for me…. I’ve driven the course tons of times, but never with stage notes. I was glad to hear at the end there how much fun you had!
I can’t wait to see more.

Looks like a blast! Thanks for sharing the vids!
Very cool. Been meaning to get over here and find an update for a week, now. Good stuff. (As always!) Subscribed to the YouTubes channel.
I couldn’t resist. I’ve watched the video a couple times and all I can think about is how the notes should be changed to:
