After the corrections to day one scores, we were indeed at 14 points. But lookee there. One car had 13 points. That was you and Renee. Full marks for the weekend, sir. You made us sweat every step of the way and it was only luck that ended up with us pipping you by one point when the weekend was over. That 72 section on Saturday was indeed challenging. I'm not sure if it was toughest I've ran in (as there was no fog) but it was definitely in the top five. It wasn't the deepest snow we've seen but it was HEAVY and steering was very difficult, especially at 72. At one point I was 40 cents late, struggling to keep the car pointed vaguely the right direction. I can only image what it was like in an 80's one wheel drive car. Mass appreciation to you, Dan.

Picking the right spot to make up time was definitely a challenge. Congrats on an excellent job, only one point behind teammates Jeff and Marvin That section on Saturday was, for me, the toughest I’ve yet driven.
