Scott Leonard: Will win it with the greatest of ease but will probably DNF on the last stage because his arm will fall off or he'll be a victom of Animal Strikes.
Grant Huges: Will finish the race but with hardly any body pannels left on the car.
Ryan Mclaughlin: Will have a strange off in the exact same place I did.
Dave Kern: Will be protested out of the race
Jimmy Keeney: So will Jimmy
John Con: Will have this random Incredible Hulk fit of rage and finish top 5 over all
Don Con: Will be chilling an dnf over a bum throttle body
Jeremy Brown: Will experience time penalties after an awesome race like we did in idaho
Brian Short: Won't have a navigator
Tommy Kil: Bust an axle again
Mike Kil: Will do just fine
Andrew Morton: Will somehow get lost and race full rally speed all the way to Wyoming before he realizes what went wrong.
Tom Wright: Won't pass exemption
Mike Rose: Will be Mike Rose
Me: I'll end up dismembering a few toes before the race in a freak firework accident
Alissa: Alissa will DNS because she's helping me with my toes.
Bis: Will finish strong but his Franken-Motor will explode in a glorious fasion over the final stage finsih control. He won't be able to make it back to Parc-Expose and will be technically disqualified.
Mark: Mark will never find the funding to compete.
not too soon. i was just thinking about how ironic that would be. you'll have to mark it in the stage notes for me. then i can go looking for the old battery and other random parts when i'm waiting for the wrecker to pick me up.
I don't think you'll lose any toes before the event, but I do think you and AJ will set a new record for the most number of minutes time penalty for a Colorado driver, surpassing your old record set a few weeks ago.
Alissa will be pissed the whole event because the ******* in sweep kept bumping her from behind on stage.
Sterling will pass out at the end of each day due to the exhaustion of running around the service park once Scott's pulled out, trying to see if he can help anyone else out. Thankfully he's there though because the only other service guys are the Conley's crew, Keeney's crew, Ty, and Troy, all of whom keep disappearing into the horse arena with some large group of mountain girls that came to get Pastrana's autograph leaving the service park nearly empty. Mark chooses to withdraw from the event at the first service so he can join in on the service crew fun. I consider it, but thanks to my super codriver doing all the service on the car, I'm able to sneak into the horse arena for most of every single service, though I do nearly pass out on the way to the final leg on Saturday due to drinking too much on Friday and not eating anything at the service stops since I was too busy. We had to stop at the gas station and grab me a corn dog.

Your engine's has had a bent rod since what, May or so. There's always like 17 Hondas at the junkyard.
Mitch is going to kung fu kick one of the other competitors in the face at the Parc Expose in a whiskey fueled rage, partly because they were being jerks about running the Checkpoint stickers that were required since he was an event sponsor but mostly because we all told him he should.
On a side note, I'm getting sick of blowing up old worn out engines so I thought I'd put something good together. Then I got sidetracked. Seems to me that I fit in just fine around here.
A proper diff is part of the deal (in a closer-ratio tranny), but surely not by RFKAC. If I get another junkyard B18 or even get my long block rebuilt and stuffed in by then I'll be happy. We'll see...
I understand how you did it and sorry for already teasing you about it. I got Erik and I lost on transit in Oregon and we went like five miles or so before I realized it. I think we were three minutes late to ATC due to that little error.
Another rumor I heard is that AJ was going to be showing up in his new FIA approved nomex cowboy racing boots.
(cough cough) those time cards NASA use are what the FIA uses, as well as everyone else in the world... maybe he should learn more about FIA approved items as well as boots.
Love ya AJ. Every navi ****s up every now and then. Ask Bob Olson, I lost an entire race for him getting lost and declaring the wrong time at an ATC. you can have a navi that reads perfect notes, but if you don't know the rules and you can't find your way through a transit your note reading skills won't mean shit.
Quit ****ing with my navigator. You can shit about me all you want and how slow and I and how I'm a bad speller and how the two things are related to eachother, but I must defend AJ to the death.
Grant, I fully plan on working towards FIA approved cowboy boots for 2009!
Dave, thanks for the compliment! I dont think it was the barrel though as much as I would like to blame it on that little trip through the maze of barrels.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and sence it is not legal to put an evo motor in my car, (thanks dave for making me hate subie motors) then I will have to use my brain to create Franken-Motor, and thanks to Brian, our invention will come to life. If you get the rare chance to listen to what we have created you will likely will not get it. Yes it may blow up, but the risk is worth the reward, at this point it is either win or blow up everything under the hood, and some of the things under the tunnel. It may be a loss at that point but at least it will be a close 2nd.
I almost forgot, even if I don't win at Rally Colorado at least i don't have to worry about beating you, Mark
Who really cares which of the gay Subaru's lose to Dave's Evo and Whitman's Cossie? Do you guys ever get tired of racing for 3rd, 4th, or 5th place?
I'm going to win Group 5. And beat the Group 2 cars in the process. And some of your fancy Subarus too while I'm at it. I'll probably be sleeping in my car in the parking lot as well.
I'm winning Group 2 by default of everyone else DNFing because they don't spend enough time working on their own cars and because all the rest of those pathetic G2 cars aren't Subarus.
I have to agree with Grant though on overall 2WD. He's definitely got it won. I'll be within a few minutes though for sure.

Haha. True. I did say that, though I never found out who the secret sponsor was. http://www.mc2racing.com
I've already got some of their stuff in the car, but now I'll have full bushings everywhere from them, their cool aluminum poly bushed rear diff mount, and the manual clutch adjuster. The clutch adjuster replaces the plastic stock one that is supposed to automatically adjust and is made out of 1984 plastic, but is one of my theories as to why my clutch won't fully disengage right now.
They also have started selling some WRX stuff too.
Also have a local guy who's selling all the stuff from his car to swap in a supercharged V6 and has a few bolt on parts and upgrades that could put me into the 300+ hp range. Considering it, but I don't know that I want the Steve and Brian/Schmidt effect where everytime I drive the car it's substantially different and I never learn how to drive it effectively fast. (nice, even worked in some smack talk)
It really wasn't much of a secret...it was Forced Performance, the guys who made the turbo I was running for PPIHC. It was only a secret b/c the southern guys wouldn't say what they were doing for a PPIHC motor in the GC8.
Congrats on getting in with a parts manufacturer! That means fun runs for all in your car now, right? (nice, even worked in a owww burn!)
Dave
