2006 Wild West Rally
|
|
|
Burnsie the rally wagon slipped, slid
and motored his way from start to finish of one of the oddest rally
events on record. After
losing it's original date in Sept due to wild summer weather
(extreme fire danger) - Wild West Rally was pushed back to December
2/3rd. Nobody could foresee the fact that November would be
the wettest record in history in the State of WA, nor that it would
snow, freeze, then rain the week of the rally. Due to high stream
contamination dangers, the rally lost it's venue a 2nd time -
forcing the organizers to scramble in order to host some kind of
event!
The result? Day 1 was held at an
ORV park and Day 2 held at a local Race track - yes, I
said race track!
With the help of guest co-driver
Kim DeMotte, Crew: Gary, Kevin and Andrew - Jamie and Burnsie
finished 6th overall in the National running and were the only PGT
car to enter/finish - thus collecting Subaru's contingency funds.
A very wild weekend! Slippy and sloppy
to tricky conditions at 100+ mph on a racetrack with gravel tires!
Crazy rally, crazy weekend, crazy fun!
Enjoy the photos - Jamie |

ORV park mud "rally" on day one
Note the left front wheel which
was completely seized on SS1 and SS2 due to the massive
amount of rocks being forced in between the brakes and the wheel!
Needless to say, the car did not turn left well at all. |

event! Thanks Kevin (left) and Gary (far right cleaning car) |
