Rally Report

So this past weekend was the STPR that my friend Ian and I attend (or try to) annually.
As always, we had an excellent time, albeit with a few hiccups this year.

The weather was awesome the whole weekend, every year prior to this we have gotten rather soggy. But this year was amazing, with sunny skies and only slightly humid air.
The drive was quite good as well, no mishaps and we found the campsite quickly. The only trouble was finding the morning spectator stage we checked out. Once we found it though it was really awesome, we could see the cars trying to slow coming down a long straight, into a hairpin. Some overshot it, scaring the crap out the workings, and some made pretty wide turns. Very enjoyable.
The real disappointment was the evening spectating, which never occured. Keep in mind, this is rally so stage cancellations come with the terrory. However, having the the stage that goes by your spectator area cancelled twice really sucks when you have driven a long way to see it. But we found a couple to chat with so the 6 or so hours sitting in the woods passed by nicely.

So overall, I did have a good time as its really the only time of year I get some excellent quality time with one of my best friends and the area the rally takes place in is very nice.

No pics or anything this year, but my video from last year is the top of the list if you search STPR on youtube.
