never ask, just snap. it is a spectator/media event.Umm... I don't see cheering Pedro. Irony? Yes.
I'm not knocking them, I'm simply stating that I didn't receive a warm welcome when I asked to snap a few photos the first time around, and then ironically returned to snap a different flavor.
Best moments:
*Got Senor Spank's autograph. Still need Nigel's! Ho0T!
*Saying Hi to all the folks that are into rally as much as me.
*Listening to the Quebec (French) guys make fun of their buddy waiting for the Port-a-potty in Berlin. We were all standing on the dumpster waiting for the Super. Then they cheered him as he vacated 10 minutes later. I didn't understand a word they said but it was funny as hell.
*Seeing The Tulip once again. I finally got video, on stage, tearing it up! Its been an on-going battle over the years...dead batteries, out of VHS tape, or a stuffed Tulip was usually the reason the past 7 years.
*I was in Poland, Naples, Bethel, Berlin, Mexico, Peru all in 2 days.
*Seeing an auto mechanic finally making to the big one, New England Forest Rally, in the driver's seat of a rally car, and doing very well. Go Al!
*Listening to French, English, Romanian, Polish, and Irish all on the same day.
****Spending 2 days with the family in the woods and finally, after 7 years, having enough money to buy the kids some cool t-shirts while at the rally.
I think you were profiled. Good thing you didn't mention the fireworks and large quantity of liqueur from NH in the trunk.hehe.. Getting pulled over by Bethel's Finest for a loud exhaust.. Mind you I do not have my front plate on, nor do I have a State of Maine Inspection....
too bad Inski dint have no fun, eh?
that's funny!Fav moment: Co Driver/father saying: "you gonna polish the brass when you get home?" As we top 70mph on Fishy Middle in the 4Runner.
that is just awesome....nothing like turning something U love into a paying gig.2)Being paid for the first time to service for a rally team.
HA. Everytime you talked to me you said the same thing.3) Pedro and Crew turning faster times than some of the drivers.
+1 Very nice people.Just FYI, you are cheering their crash because of the service crew? The guys in the car are stand up fellas.
no im pretty sure most peopel would rather be driving the rally car rather than fixing itThat`s everbodies ultimate job
Impresive. For years, I've just been saying Pryzbyzbyzbyzbyz...2. Learning how to pronounce "Team Przysbyz" by the end of the day on Saturday
No worries. With no TP in the stalls, I felt it my duty to help my fellow man find fully equipped accommodations.Thanks for the lift to Dunkin's, Jimbo.
<--applaudes.... those porta-potties are only good for backing into when occupied.No worries. With no TP in the stalls, I felt it my duty to help my fellow man find fully equipped accommodations.
