First I would like to congratulate all winners of the rally, I was quite happy to hear everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves. With the success of pulling off this 'first' for Side B, you can be certain there will be many more to come!
But organizing such an event does have its challenges.. Below is what occurred while we were plotting the original Special Stage in Indian Trail.. The one we didn't take you guys on because if was a little too difficult..
It started off innocently enough..
Exploring possible paths / routes..
Then we decided to continue further, to a nice lil hill climb section..
and this happened...
The blue Ranger was the 1st to get stuck.. The Mazda B2500 (look closely, you'll see him) got stuck attempting rescue..
My attempts at rescuing the B2500 is what produced the huge rooster tail of mud you see covering the B2500.. I failed miserably..
The rain came down and caught us out in the trail. We were at the bottom of a hill, in a valley and all the rain water flowed down the hill and settled by us..
I could not winch the B2500 out since I didn't have enough traction.. The winch was dragging me towards him even with all my 4 wheels locked..
I then decided to use my snatch block, and do an angled pull off the B2500, to attempt to free the blue Ranger..
and that's just the start of this story.....
