We’re home from Prescott!

AZ Sunset

We made it home. :D The Blazer has a brand new (in tank) fuel pump and float that we changed on the side of the road yesterday. I’ll tell the whole story later – but a HUGE thanks to Jeff Rados & Guido Hamacher for making it happen. Big thanks to Marco Pasten, Jennifer Imai, and their crew that stopped to see that we were all right and helped with the repairs.

We had an absolute blast at this event. The roads are fantastic and better then expected. I topped out the Neon and spent the whole weekend with my right foot to the floor and my left lightly touching the brakes to control the car in corners. I want to thank Michael Taylor and his crew for putting on such a fantastic event.

Our volunteer service crew was awesome! Brian, Nicole, Dave, and Kim from the AZ2GNT.net club – did an outstanding job helping to keep the Neon running. We had some fuel pump issues with the car and they jumped in quickly to get things sorted. (Yep – the fuel pump in the Blazer died, and the fuel pump in Ze’Neon ‘almost’ died in the same event. ‘When it rains – it pours’)

We lost a lot of time on Friday night due to dust and the fuel issues, but we finished. We went on to do pretty well on Saturday with a 4th in class! We set a top time in the Super Special – keeping up with cars way beyond our class. :D That got me pumped for the rest of the day.

I have some wicked video to get off the DV cam.
I have our pictures here.
Brian posted his service pictures here.
Dave created an awesome video of us!

  1. Hey Kris, you should never preface your departure in Rally with “Ready to Roll!” Trust me on this one!

    Jeff – What about these possible ones?
    ‘We coast to the win!’
    ‘It’s all downhill from here.’
    ‘We’re running lean!’

    heh
    One of the guys at work was like – OMG you had to drop the tank?! How much did that weigh?!

    The gas gauge works fantastic now… :|
