First of all, I'd like to say thank you to all of the Rally America staff, for all their hard work in making their first year in rallying a successful one. You will again have our support for 2006 and make it even better.

Second, well done Pat and Nat for another successful year. I can't for the life of me, figure out why no manufacturer has stepped forward to offer you a ride. Maybe now they will!

Can't see me in your mirrors?
I must be in front of you!

Who needs manufacturers? Not rally. We all saw what manufacturer involvement did to rally... and if you didn't see it here is a brief run-down:

1. Dead bodies.
2. Costs through the roof.
3. No competition.
4. Boring TV
5. Back-room politics polluting the sport.
6. Etc.

What rally could use is some national level sponsorship that will help everyone.

Talented private teams are (I my opinion) the best. I don't watch many stick and ball games, but I'd much rather watch a college or high school football game than pro.

Congratulations to Pat and Nathalie, AND to everyone else who had fun regardless of how they finished.

And to......

The RallyBrat! Way to go Alex!

Jens,
>1. Dead bodies.

That seems a little harsh...

Congrats to all the champions this year.
