\ Memorial Day Rally | Tom Mandera's Big Sky Binders

Memorial Day Rally

Frontier 4-Wheelers (my club) and Cascade County 4-Wheelers had a Memorial Day 4x4 Rally over.. well.. Memorial Day.



The Comers and Korstens came up from Denver to flog their Scouts next to mine.. and the Binders put on a good show.



Jennifer Comer took 1st place in the Women's Obstacle in the Korstens' "Pits"



John and Pansy took home 1st place trophies for drag racing in Gryphin and Banshee



Michelle won 1st place in her class in Little Devil



I even managed a 2nd place finish in the mud-drags.



Robert "JetFxr" and his wife arrived in his SR2 to provide support. My thanks to them for videotaping most of the weekend.



I'm pretty happy with how Little Devil ran. I had a relay die in the drag races which curtailed my race for a top-3 finish, and I had the ignition sputtering a bunch during the baja, but all in all not bad.



The radiator needs replaced, the oil filter adapter is weeping, and a balljoint needs some attention.. but nothing major broke, we jumped it harder than before with no breakage, and my second obstacle run felt pretty good/fast, and I was within 2 seconds of 1st place.



Some pics and video are up...

Though I'm still MPEG-ing most of the video from the weekend.
