Kananaskis Results

We finished 9th of 17 cars that started the rally. Another ~mid-pack finish. I had hoped for a bit of a better finish, but I've still got some learning to do and I need bigger balls when it comes to trusting the notes. The car ran well for the event, but we couldn't match the speed of the other Group 2 cars that went 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the event. Overall, I'm still very happy to have finished the event and not have many repairs to do to the car.

We had a couple of close calls during the rally but the car (and the occupants) were unharmed. This was the second event where we made our own pace notes. Our notes were better than our first attempt (at PFR) but there is still room for improvement - mostly in the way that I interpret the road and the notes I give to John. I think that the notes will also improve for subsequent passes of the same roads, since we'll be able to refine the notes rather than writing them from scratch.

So winter work begins on the car. The stock cams will finally come out, and the race cams will go in. I will also be installing a standalone engine management system to make the engine run better with the performance modifications the car has. I'd also like to paint the car again because, well...it's ugly. I'm really looking forward to the next season of racing.

Kananaskis Rally - TV Schedule

The 2007 Kananaskis Rally is coming up on Rememberance day weekend. This is a regional event that is the last rally of the year. I've never competed or even spectated at this rally before, although I lived and worked in Kananaskis for 5 years (although never driven most of the roads used for this rally). I'm excited to go..the car is still running well.

Also announced this week is the TV schedule for the Canadian Rally Series. We competed at two of these rallies (Rocky and PFR) and are hoping for a bit of TV footage to come our way. The events are televised on CityTV and were very entertaining last year.

Chad.
