As the morning of day two dawned, clear and warm, the reality of the day before started to become clearer. Car 3 (Jason and Brandon) were sitting pretty in the lead with 4 points. Great job, guys. TeamD ended the weekend firmly in positions 2 and three, both overall and in class. Thanks go to the rallymasters, organizers, workers, and sponsors of Crestline 2008.

The instructions in regularity 10 were
25.42 SIGN ON LEFT ‘Report All Poachers’ (CAST 54)
25.43 RIGHT
25.50 SIGN ON RIGHT ‘Baldy Road Warning’ (CAST 70)
The ‘Poachers’ sign was not just side facing but actually angled slightly back to oncoming traffic. At least four cars out of seven missed the sign. We’re in good company as Glyn on a checkout run missed it too!
Why, oh, why didn’t we turn at the mileage instead of looking for the blasted sign? We tried to spin around. But there was an oncoming mini-van in the way. To make the turn (now left), there was oncoming blue CRV to deal with that we had only a few minutes earlier passed. For crying out loud! As we made the turn, we were 30 seconds down. A mishap on the box, set us back even further. We took 10 points at the checkpoint that followed. I recognize #%!@#$%^&*( from the same intersection.
