I wasn't able to attend the TSD rally - I really wanted to, it sounds like it was a fun event.

Kieran and I attended our 7th stage rally this year at Black River Stages last weekend. Had a few issues, more details later but the long and the short of it is that we finished the rally in 2nd place for the Rally Spec Focus class and 2nd place in Production 2WD. That finish sealed our spot as the Rally Spec Focus champions for 2007. We're pretty pleased with our numbers too. Here are the results if you're interested in the details.

I haven't crunched the numbers in detail yet but I think we're now in 4th place USRC 2WD and 2nd place USRC Prod 2WD for the year!

Simon

To finish first, first you must finish. Great job - we need to meet at Hard Times again so we can see the videos.

OK, so I set out to put one of our stage runs at Black River Stages online for a bit of fun, added music etc. I made an initial small version (320x182 10MB) that's OK.

I also tried to make a larger version (640x364 27.6MB) for people with a bit more bandwidth.

In the process of tweaking with the compression settings though I made another one (640x364 20.3MB) which, from an image quality point of view I was not happy with. However, serendipitously, it took on the style and characteristics of an impressionistic painting and makes for an interesting sprint through the woods, so I thought I'd share them all with you.

Enjoy.

Simon
