Hey Guys!

Well, I have great news! We're holding strong in the top 10. Today was definitely not meant for us as it was primarily hill climbs and really tight windy corners. The leaders of the rally consist of three professional or semi-professional rally drivers with rally spec cars. Two Subaru's, one being driven by a guy that just won the New Zealand Rally Championship. Another by a women named Emma Gilmore who also drives professionally around the world. The guy leading the event is in a HUGE horsepower Nissan Skyline R34. He has won the event for the past 3 years and he drives like a mad man haha. He goes FLYING through blind corners and tight, twisty roads. It's pretty impressive to watch his video footage.

Dad and I are pushing hard but our goal is to have fun and keep the car in good shape. Ford GT's are FANTASTIC cars, but they aren't rally cars by any stretch of the imagination.

Here are some pictures that will scare a few people...Namely EP!

Thanks for the update. I see you use what your sell, splash guards. They don't seem to work too well. The sponsors represented on the side of your car may not be too happy



Just kidding. I bought a set at your shop during Rally II, but didn't installed them until just before driving to Rally III. They gave me great piece of mind when I heard the gravel hitting my fender liners at speed. Made the round trip without any paint dings from tire debris. Great product! Good luck in the Rally

EP doesn't need any protection from road debris!

'Anybody know what kinda car that black one is with the "VIP PET FOODS" logo is on the side in the above vid? 'I know I should know'...it looks familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Congrats Steve and Kyle, looks like you made the goal of Top Ten easily with an EIGHT PLACE overall of the 99 entrants of Modern class.....

Next year I'm sure you two will figure out how to shave ~24 minutes off the four day event. Safe trip and look forward to hearing more!

See you at our SEMA dinner on Wednesday!

Not only is it dirty - someone's written all over it as well!
