Not an angle I find in most shots people get of us, makes for a killer photo gallery cover. Thanks to <a href="https://www.apexiel.com/user/bauer-motorsports-photography-kS42D23guD" target="_blank">Bauer Motorsports Photography</a> for the photo!

Late addition to the gallery but pretty sure this was actually first stage. Very chewed up and tricky few miles, but the back half was very fun regardless with everything to contend with.

One very cool part of this particular race was having Ryan Tuerck - of Formula Drift fame - racing in the same class and car type as me. Needless to say he put down incredible times; it was super beneficial though as he was more than happy to share tips and pointers on how to move these cars around turns. Fairly certain my driving improved as a result.<br><br>Thanks to <a href="https://www.apexiel.com/user/happy-bubbles-images-Yj9d2Ehaip" target="_blank">Happy Bubbles Images</a> for the photo!

Yet another 2nd place - but this time it's both for our race (class) and for championship (class). Congrats to Henry Tabor and Dylan Hooker on winning the Limited 2W Drive Championship - amazing competitors!

One of the first stages of the event. Pretty sure I almost lost it from heat stroke but we made it through!

A recovery drive and a bit of luck managed to land us 2nd place on the National L2WD podium. Kept the championship push alive, albeit barely - congrats to Henry Tabor and Dylan Hooker for the win!

What a cool shot - think it's the perfect size for a phone screen, maybe? Thanks to <a href="https://www.melemedia.net" target="_blank">MeLe Media</a> for the photo!

After a long and stressful rally, it was cool to have a street stage with spectators to run. Little tarmac action never hurt anyone! Thanks to <a href="https://www.melemedia.net" target="_blank">MeLe Media</a> for the photo!

This particular stage felt like something out of Rally Finland, with the logging roads and everything. Such a blast to drive. Thanks to <a href="https://www.melemedia.net" target="_blank">MeLe Media</a> for the photo!
