 unfortunatly my daughter, Lauren , started a new job and can't make the rally this year .

My ol' co-piloto , Ramon, who navigated for me in '07+'08 ,  will fill in this year.

We will report the best we can back to Lauren and or Gary @ www.lacarrera2007.blogspot.com

Thought I'd drag this back up to the top - Carson had some power steering hose problems..........................tough break.

Seems that nobody can beat Finnish ace Rovanpera. Four out of five stage wins .

I was beginning to think that Mexico is where all old Studebakers go to die........but how do they end up in Finland?

Carson doesn't seem to be any worse for wear - they won the class run to Guadalajara.

The gray Ford seems to get lower every year.,....

 

according to the Blog - they have hired a new crew chief....

Viva Mexico
