Please send pics/videos of us to me here.
Rough roads, giant rocks, night stages, rollovers and big time mechanical failures. Olympus Rally can be one of the most extreme stops on the Rally America Championship.
Olympus Rally started off a little too uneventful for us: the starter wouldn't crank leaving the park expose! I had to hop out of the car and arc the starter solenoid terminals to get it freed and get us on our way. We replaced the starter after the first stage, making us 36 minutes late out of service.

We headed out and did the Taylor Town / Cloquallum loop. The dust was so bad on Cloquallum that we had to stop twice and I almost took out caution tape a few times. The car was running great with the temp right at 185 deg. We headed back for service and got ready to head out and do the Taylor / Cloquallum loop again. After service we were informed that the last two stages of the night we cancelled. Considering it was 11:45 already and we had only gotten a couple hours of sleep the night before we were relieved to hear this, although somewhat disappointed that we didn’t get more miles on stage. When your that tired it’s easy to let something go, so we went home and passed out.

Have to say that on a completely unrelated note, you have some amazing shots of your vehicle and I can't help but wonder how some of it would translate into watercolors. I do apologize that it's not really related to your original post about the race that you participated in but I had stumbled my way here. Hope you don't mind the randomness of my post and have a wonderful weekend!
Ha! No problem I always enjoy feedback. If you're a watercolor kind of person, you can feel free to reproduce these images in any way you wish.. just send me a scan! :)
Have a good St. Patrick's Day.
