Christian Banks and I have been invited to help out with the pit crew duties for Paul Eklund(I think that's his name)'s Subaru. We'll be at the party on Wed and then heading up to Bemidji on Thurday evening. I can't wait. It's going to be shweet.:p :p

[Bill Owen]

Paul is a real nice guy. I met him when I did announcing with Llew and Jesse Mullan at last year's Spectator stage at the dirt track. I had seriously considered making my Jetta into a rally car after witnessing my first event 2 yrs ago. Thats why my old sunroof is now a alum plate. Its the best racing event you can watch for FREE.. You WILL have a good time!

[Josh S #771]

Ojibwe rally was pretty cool. Me and Christian were on the service crew for the Primitive Racing WRX of Paul Eklund and Co-driver Scott Huhn. Friday 's stages ran from 5:30pm to 12:30am and was storming very bad later on. After Friday we were running in 14th. Saturday ran from 12:30pm to about 8:00pm and was very windy. Paul and Scott starting getting faster and a few guys crashed out. Until the second to last stage they were pretty close to 10th. On the second to last stage they got a flat and lost the tranny after that. I had a great time and will definitely do it again.:D

[Bill Owen]

Good to hear... so when do you put the full cage in the TT?...heh

I had to miss it this year, but I'LL BE BACK!

[Josh S #771]

The TT isn't for rallying but the Ojibwe rally really makes me consider building a rally car. It is a rather expensive sport though but oh so worth it.:sarc

[Protege Menac]

andre and I went to that this year and it was totaly worth the 5 hour drive up there.

seeing those cars flying past you on dirt roads going 60+ is amazing.

I have 2 hours of video and hundreds of pictures on my comp. I may get around to posting them somewhere.

i highly suggest you all go to the next rally
