My first national rally. On paper, it was a DNF. In reality, it was the most successful, fulfilling and enjoyable rally weekend I have ever done

I have never committed to any one single thing more than this rally. Thousands of stories could be told as this weekend was 4 years in the making

While it was extremely painful, both mentally and physically, to DNF while being so close to an overall podium, I would do it all again in a heartbeat

We showed our pace and what we are capable of

The cause of our DNF came down to a simple wiring issue. Somewhere in the harness, the signal wire to the alternator broke. It happened over a small jump early on in Height O’Land. We tried to push through to get back to service but the car died in the next stage

I find it hilarious that the stage where the car crashed into the lake in 2022 is the exact same stage that broke the car this year. I think its cursed😅

Race days went flawlessly and we found ourselves up to 3rd overall with three top 3 stage times on day 1 and three top 5 on day 2. A lonely Subaru in a field of FIA cars

Towards the end of stage 9, I made a big mistake and misjudged a crest at 110MPH. This launched us nearly 170 feet before slamming back down to the ground. I felt a pop and instant pain in my upper back, the same spot as with Adam 2.5 years ago

The landing was so heavy that it ripped the mounting ear for the control arm off the front subframe. But that didn’t stop us from heading back out to do our best helicopter impression at the super special😂

It was a serious team effort to get the car to SS1. Pete, Nic and Jack kept the car together all weekend and I am extremely grateful to have such a talented group

@jc_classics_and_restomods was in the weeds with me for the last 6 months helping build this car into the animal it is now. And was still helping us even while on vacation

@rallyready gave me the support, resources and ability to turn a dream into a reality

@rally_morgs for flying all the way up to the states and doing an incredible job keeping us between the trees

For now, The Lady is heading back under the knife for some repairs to get ready for the next event

See y’all soon 🍂

After all of the Sauce Retention Issues, KJ and I got our first finish together at SOFR against many odds and snuck in the last spot on the podium. Hopefully not another 4 years until the next one. 

Love these boys, love this truck, love rallying. 

22 years since I started my first rally and somehow playing with rally cars is still about the only real job I’ve ever had. Not sure how that happened but cheers to the ride and to the glory days that we get to live in every time we go play in the woods with our friends.

It’s time for a ✨Trauma Dump✨

Stuffs been breaking, stuffs been getting fixed. V8’s been screaming and so has my internal dialogue at times. But good lord is it fun. 

We’re getting ready to head out to the first stage of Day 3 and see what magic we can make happen.

A textbook weekend at The Boone Forest Rally. It really couldn’t have gone much better than it did. 

My second rally behind the wheel of The Lady of The Lake and we were able to pull off a 5th overall and 2nd in class with a scaled speed factor of 82!

It took a little bit to warm up to the car. It had been 9 months since I have driven it on a full on stage road and this was the first time with the bigger restrictor. We were feeling very comfortable in the car by the end and set a 3rd overall and 1st in class time on the final stage of the rally with a speed factor of 99😵‍💫 and that was with a severely warped rotor that we had been fighting with from SS3 on😅

I cannot thank my team enough. @aropedo was perfect on the notes and @therallyhobo , @nic.schneiderman , @jc_classics_and_restomods and @rallyready helped ensure the car was staying together. 

The MRF’s from @tirestreets were perfect all weekend. They held up to the abuse and heat all weekend and are still in great shape. It took me running over a nail on transit and then driving over 100mph for 11 stage miles and 15 transit miles to get the tiniest hole in the sidewall. I genuinely didn’t even notice it was flat until we finished the stage 😅 Extremely happy with them! 

And of course @innovativetuning for providing race support and remotely dropping tune updates from 1200 miles away. 

It was also so awesome to be a part of @texas_dave ‘s comeback to rally after nearly 3 years. I felt like a proud son watching his dad drive a badass rally truck 😂

I could not be any happier with the result. Now it’s time to go back to the ranch and get the car ready for the next one! Some cooling and brake upgrades are needed SO badly.
