Success in Idaho – We’re back from a long tow!

We’re back and I got to sleep for 8 hours for the first time in a week last night. Lots and lots of driving and towing. We broke up the trip home by stopping in Zion National Park, Utah. Monday morning we took a short hike in the park and then around 1:00PM headed towards Vegas and home.

We had a very successful trip. USRC class points, CRS P-Stock class points, 9th overall for the weekend out of a very strong 4WD field of 14 finishers. Results posted here. I have some mixed news about video. 1. The bullet cam wiring seems to have been pinched and the video from day 2 blacks out every 10 random seconds for about 1.5 random seconds. It seems to correspond with the bumps, but since these roads were so smooth, I can’t tell. 2. I was having a problem pulling digital video off my tapes, but fixed the DV port on the camera that sits in the car. Now I can get ALL the video from Idaho (even the blanked out bits) and ALL the video from North Nevada! Besides time to do it, one of the major reasons you haven’t seen more then SS4 from NNR. :p

I got our spectator road points video up on the Tubes. Short little teaser.

(You can see the blank video problem I was talking about – total bummer.)

Found a spectator photo album from Austin Schmitz.

One thought on “Success in Idaho – We’re back from a long tow!”

  1. I just KNEW I saw you guys towing through Nevada! If only they had a rally closer to me–oh well, its great you have been as successful as you have (the wins are nice, but being able to EVEN do any type motorsport for a few years is a VERY huge accomplishment in itself!). Keep it up!
