Olympus Rally 2007
Getting the itch for this weekend to come, so I thought I'd post this vid. The cars in this video are what we deal with (both recovery and medical) when the stage is clear of all competitors traveling under their own power. This weekend is the Olympus Rally, which is a world famous rally they brought back after something like 18 years of it being shut down. This is where some of the big WRC international guys got famous.
Anyways, enjoy!

Some more...

Sinister - getting to know quite a few of them. One of them (Scott) is our former Sweep Captain. But yeah you get to know em when you're flipping their cars over and yanking them out of ditches, and sometimes transporting them back to service after their cars get trailered off.
The teams certainly love us, but they'd much rather wait to see us until the banquets after the rally. The banquets rock, cause after bailing these drivers out all day, they never let you pay for your own beer.

Re: Olympus Rally 2007
Here is one from Day 1 at PIR, short vid

This one is day 3 on Coyote Corner. The 2nd car thru (red talon) is our old Sweep Captain Scott. He took a 1st and 2nd in a couple classes on each day. This is his backup car, his widebody Audi popped a motor day 1 at PIR, so this is his backup.

Re: Olympus Rally 2007
Dear god, are we seriously still dealing with this moron? Why has he not yet been banned? :1
Next time you're at an event, why don't you go ahead and tell Travis Pastrana, Ken Block, Tanner Foust, Andy Pinker, and so on that you can outdrive them and their $80K+ Pro National AWD Rally cars in your pile of ---- Accord. You can make it a challenge of how many people you can get to laugh in your face at once.
Seriously, grow up.
