Excellent! With your campaign success and Ted's showing in Texas the olde Y's are making some long needed noise! Ken Schmidt of the Rolling Bones set a record of sorts in the 135mph class at the Wilmington, Ohio mile. He ran a 147mph (and got a little scolding). The LSR 32 coupe of Keiths had a shock problem so nothing new there. Next year!

Congratulations. And thanks for the link to the blogs. That was a good read and gave a good idea of some of the trials you went through to make all this a success.

Carson, Your blogs and video's were exciting and informative. I had no idea that this race existed. The terrain covered is beautiful. I love the 53 FH and transition to 54 OHC Fords. Congratulation and thank you for sharing this with us - Bob

Good job Carson! I'm more used to WRC rally notes but maybe it's just good for an old man like you that Lauren tells those bends couple of times to you... . And despite that you almost drove off at the beginning . But, still, I could listen to Lauren all day long...

Rallying ain't always serious business! You really entertained each other. Was that some chost town or where were all the spectators?

Very few spectators as the Targa NFL rally is mid Sept. officially "off season " but we had nice weather except one wet day. The rally stops in remote little seaside villages for lunch each day served by the retired locals in their community halls. All very hospitable and the deserts are the best . No Y blocks but there were two '49 Cadillac sedanetts this year . giddyup, C
