Hello All,

 

This past weekend Gus, Big “e” aka baby biter, and I all attended the Lands End Hill Climb in Grand Junction, CO.  For those that dont know Colorado all that well Grand Junction is about 5 hours from where I live in the FO CO.  It seems like it is longer than that as you are driving to the edge of the state, and Colorado is a wide state.

We got there Friday night and went straight to the car show that the local Suabaru dealership put on with some of the rally cars there.  It was lame.

 

Anyways went out that night and had some dinner and some food at this little local hangout which I guess it the local “spot” as it was crawling with hot girls, and flat bill platapusses. ( More on these guys in another post)  For some reason the whole city of Grand Junction was crawling with hot ass girls and wierd ass dudes.  Who would have thunk it.

 

Anyways on to the rally stuff.  We went up on Saturday which was qualifying and hung out for half the day.  A lot of the cars were out in full effect and most looked really good. The Kerns ended up finishing first in Qual so they got to pick there starting spot on Sunday.

 

Now on Sunday was race day and everyone was stoked.  Redbull gave us 2 tents and 20 cases of redbull so that was pretty cool of them.  Day went like this:

-Prostock guys go– Couple crash wow suprise

-Quads go– Couple guys crash one gets carted off in an ambulance

-Rally Cars go– Kick ass!!! I think the worst that happened was the escort cosworth ran out of gas 3 turns before the finish lol.

 

Anyways here are some results as best as I can remember.  The record for this hill climb was 5minutes 3 seconds.  Dave and Allison Kern crushed that with a best of 4 minutes 52 seconds.  That is an astounding 11 seconds which is amazing.  The Salta boys came in second in AWD rally class with a 5.14.XX.  Congrats goes out to Steve and Brain for showing once again why they build the best rally cars in this state.

 

Now onto Pics:

Rally is dope.

Jon Conleys SRT-4 thing is fast!

What is this? And is it real?

 

Now I want you to look at this car above and really get a good look at it.  This is a real Ford Escort Cosworth.  This is one of the coolest cars I have ever seen, Period.  This thing is so well put together from a 7 speed dog box, Dry Carbon Door Inserts, you get the idea.  This car will be at Rally America where me and Gus will be competing.  I am going to go up a couple days early and retune this thing.  There is talk of next season of redoing the ecu system and switching to a Pectel system.  If you ask yourself “what is  pectel”  then dont ask anymore as you dont need to know.  Stick to your S-AFC’s and UTECS and let the real men build real cars.

The money shot

 

So stay tuned for more on the Escort Cosworth.  Gus and I have something else in the works as well already for the next rally car which is going to blow your minds.  Most of you wont even know what the car is lol.

 

Anyways I hope you all are enjoying your day as I know I am enjoying mine. 

Thanks for looking,
