Lake Superior rally definitely rocks. Muddy, somewhat rougher, and still faster than snot, this year Mark and the Mustang was fast and finished everything with aplomb. Friday were the southern stages around Kenton, but Mark was just keeping everything...

(This is really just a test to see how many times I can use the word start in an article ...) OK, we started out great - fastest 2WD overall on day one. But the trouble all started before the start when we could not start the Mustang - a cranky starter...

No spins, no offs, no hitting of big monster tires - clean and green the whole way. Mark's got the number of the beast, and we kept it clean and smooth the entire event - except for the little problem with dust - yeeks! Of course, we were probably stirring...

About 5 years ago I discovered this restaurant, thought it was cool, and then could not find it again. Now, I've rediscovered it - it's at 71 West Monroe in downtown Chicago, about a block and half west of the Palmer House Hilton. This restaurant serves...

OK, the big smash-up occurred, and hitting a mine truck tire is not a good thing. It was a lift-throttle slide sideways on a high-speed Right 6 for the fourth chicane, but we persevered the next day and got 1st in G5 on the second day's regional rally...

OK, not counting the fondue party I attended at Mark and Mary's, the interesting places to eat at the Twin Cities are: The Egg & I , great breakfast place in Uptown ( 2828 Lyndale Avenue S., Minneapolis ) - this one is called the Little Egg - when...

Well, wouldn't you know, we won OVERALL at the Paris Texas rally - woohoo! Not bad for a 2wd vehicle, even if it does breathe fire! Details, pics, and stuff at http://www.rallyengr.com/

Well, the the Mustang debuted this weekend and unfortunately we had a mini-spin, a mega -spin, a tiny spin, and a DNF. The two small spins were just sliding 90 degrees sideways on the exits of corners, but the mega-spin was a full-bodied humongazoid effort...
