Just got back from Headwaters a few hours ago. Stacy and I had a blast! Thank you so much to all the workers who stood out in the mud and rain to put on a top notch event. You guys and girls are the best. Also, thanks to the sponsors for the great after-party. Lots of good food and tall tales. And finally thanks to all the competitors that helped us out. You know who you are. 
Now for the run down. We started 29th. Stage 1 was a twisty mucky mess...at least I thought so. We were incredibly slow through that stage. Got passed by a BMW about halfway through. But...we didn't go off. Stage 2 was much better. Started to get a rhythm going and managed to hit 4th gear!
Almost clipped a tree after getting caught in a rut (thanks AWD guys!). But...we didn't go off. Stage 3 was cool...don't remember much except I think I hit a bird. Oops. The transit from 3 to service sucked. Huge muddy ruts. And a ditch in the road too! At service something got messed up and we ended up 23rd on the road. Not sure how that happened but oh well. Needless to say we got passed a lot on stages 4, 5, and 6. Those stages were pretty sweet. Basically a lot like the first 3. Muddy, and slippery. But...we didn't go off.
So...we finished our first rally! And we had a great time. Now we just have to work on increasing our speed. 
Anyway, thanks again to everyone who helped us out. We couldn't have finished without you. See you all at Arkansaw in July!!!
