Wow. 40 hours on the road payed off for Eixenburger Rallysport!
Chad and Ben did an excellent job of keep the car between the ditches- with only very minor damages and mechnical hickups.
Day 1- Leg 1 went okay but a burst hose and overheating engine caused concern on stage. Luckily a quick hose fix and the removal of the cooling fan assembly resulted in enough cooling to finnish the rally that way.
Leg two had no major issues.
Day2 - Tire punctures and the loss of the front bumper were the only major concerns. Neither a major problem, although the flat did cause a loss of time in the long run dropping the car from 3rd to 4th at the end of the day.
Many thanks to Chad for putting up with me for the entire weekend as well as letting me crash at his house pre- and post-rally and the many beers/meals/good times. Congrats to Ben, although I was sad that there was no Go-Karts to be found in Elkins. Fun to meet new people- Matt Bushore, Bill Wood, the russians, the irish, the polski, and several crazy locals! I also wish the best to Brian Dondlinger and crew on getting the GTI back in running condition after the crash.
