We're here and we're ready. And it sounds so simple! Of course, the suspension rebuild after LSPR took as long as it could (ramping up as the rallycross and Sno-Drift approached), and the assorted mechanical prep will always be significantly more involved than expected, but the car is straight, seems reliable, and drives correct.
But that's less than half the trouble. The other half, and just as critical, is the planning, structure and support. And I've needed and gotten more help and support than I imagined I ever would. For the second rally in a row, we have the best crew at the event. Dmitriy is bringing his truck, it's full of our stuff - he just had to go to work like a normal person. Brandon's joining, and between the two of them, they plan on providing grilled food (with vegetarian options) and coffee at each service. Kyle is returning to crew, right now he's still an hour out, on his way down from Houghton on his own. Cory says he's just mooching, but he's driven the rallycar halfway, and he'll be joining Kyle getting us registered and getting the car through tech while Kenneth and I casually stroll around the stages tomorrow for recce.
So, thanks to all the help from our friends, we're ready to run Sno-Drift. Thanks to an even larger circle, we were able to run LSPR. Without the help, I'd still be running my daily driver in rallycross. Good start, let's see how far we can take it.
We are Sean Murphy and Kenneth Tsang. We race cars and build stuff. Here is where we loosely document our adventures.
