And maybe Ellensburg for Friday night... there will be several rally teams there and ready to swap rally stories.

The entry list shows us as "Subaru Undecided"... We have the tires now, still waiting on springs, or a gaurantee that a tarmac low-rider with full Primitive underbody armor will make it through the gravel sections.

"co-driver" or "rallylarge" care to chime in???

Not too much to chime in with yet. I've competed in No Alibi twice and consider it my favorite event. This year I'll be running sweep in the Blazer because it has been clear that the workers have even more fun than the entrants. I'm assuming Kirk has done his usual fantastic job lining up challenging roads and brisk speeds. Heading southeast should be a nice change with some new territory.

I think Willey and Horst did the check out ride this past weekend. We should be seeing a report from them soon.

Looks like 27 entries so far, there is still time to get your entry via on-line registration.
The stories are filtering in from checkout, and this should live up to "No Alibi" reputation.
Entries are still running 55% Subaru, so depending on your take for this stat, either add to, or balance out the percentages.
Enter now... enter often.
Sounds like it will be hot, dry, and "brisk", with the addition of rally roads unseen for years, and spectacular scenery of South East Washington.

Ellensburg to Clarkston to Ellensburg

Late registration and tech inspection opens at 0730 Saturday.

see ya on the road...

Looks like Uncle Satch and Russ won the event. Roads were smooth as silk, nice and twisty and with beautiful vistas.

Primitive team struggled to learn the new Timewise clock and were 9th overall after day one, but I suspect dropped a bit more on day two...

Ach, the new Timewise! Don't worry. If Dan can tame a Timewise, anyone can! (well, shucks, *I* am even starting to figure it out -- I am actually quite impressed with Mister Christensen's box).

Hope you had a great weekend otherwise. What views, what weather! I was momentarily depressed over having my "hide behind the big John Deere combine" checkpoint thrown out over a distance technicality, but I had a blast overall. No CASTs to worry about!

Marvin and Steve have raised the bar on quick scoring, I think. How either of them enter data en route while Dan and Eric are driving, I just don't know. They both point out as to how having enough workers to have near-dedicated scorers made the difference, but I think they are being too modest.

Anyhow, I am thinking I'd like to work it again next year. Kirk, where are we going?
