However, last weekend I spent a few hours helping Moose swap the seats around in his rally car.
Of course it’s a Galant VR4. What other rally cars are there? (Don’t answer that.)
Moose is letting Tony Chavez drive the car this year and he will be acting co-driver, so we had to swap the seats around. This involved a little drilling, a little welding, and a lot of sweating, since it’s still well over 100* here in Phoenix during the day.
We went over the car so that I could re-familiarize myself with it, as I will be running service for the guys, along with good friends (and fellow Galant VR4 owners) Michael Rodarte and Mike Foster. Monday and Tuesday of this week, Moose and I will be getting together to sort the two sets of spare wheels and tires we want for the race, as well as cleaning out and reloading the service van.
As I did last year, I will try to tweet as many pictures from the rally as possible next weekend. Reception is spotty out in the wilderness, but I’ll do my best. Good things happen at Prescott. I’m looking forward to going. Hopefully, in 2010, I can enter the rally with my own rally car to celebrate my fifth consecutive year attending.
