Lake Superior ProRally

Hey all! Just wanted to say hi and let you all know we're headed for the 2005 Lake Superior ProRally this weekend. You can keep up with our progress at:

http://www.rally-america.com/

Then click on "Live Updates". You can get results and text/image updates regarding the rally. (Edit: The "Live Updates" link will go active sometime during the evening on Thursday)

Here's to hoping we keep it out of the trees.

You can check out our website at: http://www.geocities.com/smsrallysport/

Good luck, guys!

Just checked out the site and there's a MINI in one of the pics! Maybe Molly will become a Rally car (eventually).

Cool site!

I used to have an Omni awhile back. Unfortunately it wasn't as cool as yours but I was still trying to drive like you guys do!

Cute bios as well...

Good luck and keep it on the road!

GLH's rule

Good to see a GLH is still a ralllye car. I co-drove a new GLH in 86 in stock class. Im from Louisiana and mostly drove in the northeast. This was when Buffum and Millem was on top. The 24 hr POR rallye was always a great one. If I can find a pic of my car I post.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It was a wild weekend. We got TONS of rain and it made the roads a total mess. However, I'm sure some good pictures of us blasting through water holes will show up.

All went well and with our finishes this weekend, we think we have secured 1st place in our region. In addition, I managed 2nd place in our division for drivers and Stacy will get 1st place in our division for co-drivers. Pretty cool!

The downside is that the car is missing at high rpm now and so it may be a long off-season. Hopefully it's something simple like the MAP sensor or trigger in the distributor.

wdfoto: Cool!! Who did you co-drive for? Was it Henry Krolikowski? Or Dave Clark? Or Doug Shepard? Or ????? The Omni is a great rally car. Lots of fun and easy to maintain. We plan to keep it for quite awhile.

Thanks everyone!!!

Thanks, Puck! It shouldn't be too bad. The fixing it part is easy (as I know that car like the back of my hand now). The hard part is coming up with the money to buy the parts.

MAP Sensor (~$75)
Dist. Trigger (~$80)
Ignition Coil (~$45)
Turbo Work (~$???)
Suspension Work (~$250)
New Tires (~$800)

But I guess I should expect it...racing is expensive.

Sorry to say, but if you're going to treat your rubber like that...

The other work sucks though.
