This article is from March of last year but it still makes me hopeful. Now I feel bad for ripping up the Guys at Ford via FaceBook. Sorry Ford Guys! You think they can hear me from here? It's a good thing I don't live in Detroit. That poor Schmuck behind the wheel is probably thinking, "Man it's cool being an engineer at Ford. I think I'll take the project car down to BK for a Whopper. What a wonderful day", not knowing that I'm hiding in the bushes at the first stop light. Next thing he knows, he's waking up by the side of the road wondering what he's going to do with the rest of his life as he will have lots of free time and I will have the only 3-door turbo Fiesta in America! MWAAHAHAHAHA!.........Tickets to Detroit are pretty cheap this time of year, aren't they?

100 Acre Wood Rally in 2 Days!
I'm out in CO. working some tire deals while Darren and the boys do final prep on 2 Escorts that will be our spectator area interceptors again. Unfortunately, we ran out of time again to compete. Not that we were serious about getting in this year as we knew it would be a long shot. Both cars have a long way to go but they will be a lot of fun in between stages. We will be loaded down with some primo spectator gear like aluminum ladders and scaffolding not to mention still and video cameras. We will post as often as possible with links here and face book. Stay tuned!

Is that Ken Block? 100 Acre Wood 2010. Not sure how we got on this road.
No sound but still very interesting. This is what you get when you strap a web cam to your 87 Escort. We'll be armed with a few more cameras this year (with working sound).

Picking up the torch
Congrats to Dillon Van Way who won the 2 wheel drive class at the first Rally America event of the year, Sno-Drift. He is currently the first driver to campaign the new Ford Fiesta since Ken Block left at the end of last season to go to WRC. Ford and Mr. Van Way are off to a winning start. Git some, Dillon!
