2008 Summary

Well, 2008 was not the best year of racing!!

Kananaskis rally just finished up last weekend. The rally car was running good, we were just winding up the car, starting slowly since it has been a full year since I've raced the car. We made 2 passes of the Forest Loop spectators stage when one of the competitors behind us had a serious incident. The co-driver was seriously hurt and the ambulance we had contracted expended all their supplies caring for him while STARS air ambulance was on the way. Unfortunately, the ambulance could not be re-deployed for the remaining stages without supplies, and the rally was over :(. Obviously, the real dissappointment is one of our fellow competitors being hurt but the rally also ended much sooner than anyone anticipated.

So the car is parked for the winter, waiting for the 2009 Cochrane Rally.

Chad.

Yeah, there was definitely some disappointments with Kananaskis this year. But it was nice to see you out, and I wish you the best for next season!
