Some unique roads there - and honestly great for a new co-driver to use to practice on. We placed 1st in class and 4th overall; 3rd was possible if we hadn't been dealing with some note issues, but that's rally for you.

Almost 200 miles of racing over three days - and that's not even counting the recce! Being that this is my (current) home race, I found myself wanting to win - or at least podium - more than most other races I've been in. Securing 2nd had me smiling like I don't think I've done in awhile. Congratulations to Mark Tabor and Kathryn Hansen on 1st place, they drove a flawless race as far as I can tell and their experience on these roads shows! Congrats to the Kravets brothers on 3rd, they're seriously speeding up! A big thanks to Glen Ray for co-driving for me this event; his prior experience in running and winning the L2WD championship in 2025 shows and was an undeniable factor in managing the 3 day slog. Big shoutouts to the crew at <a href="https://instagram.com/rivercityrally/" target="_blank">River City Rally</a> for building a tank of a car, and for the insane efforts they put in all week long to keep us racing with a capable car. Finally, thanks to the sponsors and friends who came along for the ride: <a href="https://www.425motorsports.com" target="_blank">425 Motorsports</a>, <a href="http://fujiselect.com" target="_blank">Fuji Select</a>, and <a href="http://foxcoveit.com" target="_blank">FoxCove IT Services</a>!
