I made some notes on my rally but I must have binned them.
From what I remember I had 3 retirements, I got confused with ss07 which was Falstone but for some reason I kept thinking I was running Chirdonhead, that ended with me hitting a wooden barrier.
Stage 11 and I was thinking I must make an effort in these last 4 stages. I then rolled in stage 11 and damaged something as I had limited revs for the remaining stages but I did complete them in reasonable times, I'll be glad when all this snow goes.:)
 
I wasn't feeling well before the rally so I didn't expect a great result but still I wasn't expecting so much problems either.
It all started with a bad luck on SS2 where the car surprised me and jumped into trees after a bump. I couldn't do anything else but retire. It's difficult to come back after that. I was pushing and it was all right until SS5 where I was very fast and ended up in the tree going too wide.

On SS6 I lost the concentration just before the finish and lost control. Engine and my hopes for scoring points were over.

During night I tried to approach the rally differently and immediately I got into a rhythm but as the visibility was low I clipped a rock and ended on the roof of the car.

Only suspension took heavy damage so I managed somehow to the end but I had to make repairs and miss SS9.

As if it wasn't enough the first time on SS8, I made the same mistake on SS10 and find myself on the roof once again.

On the second day of the rally the only thing to do was to get the car safely to power stage and attack.

Fortunately this time I made it happen however I didn't score any points.

This was the first time that I wasn't having fun. To bad because organizers did a good job setting this challenging rally.
