My first rally of 2008 is a few short days away: I'm going to be co-driving for Ivor Wigham in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI at the Sandblast Rally in Cheraw, South Carolina on Saturday, February 9.
Sandblast is a rally that's bit me in the past. Last time I was here, in 2006 with Craig Studnicky in his first rally ever, we DNF'd with a burnt-out clutch. This was the result of getting bogged down in a deep, loose sandy uphill on the aptly-named Sandtrap stage.
This time, though, the outlook is much more positive. Ivor, the owner of the European Rally School in Starke, Florida, is a very experienced and very quick driver. We should be quite competitive, even though there are several hot teams on the entry list.
I'll have internet access in Cheraw, so look for updates here over the next few days. Scores will be posted in the results section of the rally web site as they become available.
