Thunderbird 2008 Day 1

2008

With a week to go before the Winter Alcan, Marvin and I decided to shake the car and ourselves down by hitting the snow between Merrit and Kamloops at the 2008 running of BC’s Thunderbird Rally. Tomorrow will give us the tally as well as send us back out into the snow.

    Glad to hear everything is still in order. How are the other TeamD’ers faring?

    Yes, there are time decs. Paul explained it in some way but I think it’s partially a response to all the requests. The time decs work a bit differently than down in the states. Tired but will discuss in the next day or so.

    Everyone TeamD is alive and driving.

    Marinus and Renee are having difficulties with their new 798a. Display issues and perhaps some other things. Marvin has run into a quirk wherein the split time on his 798a is truncated to 2 decimal places unless you are in Adjust ORM mode where it shows the normal 3 places. He is a bit annoyed at this but we persevere.

    Greg and Bill are enjoying themselves but say they are at some times too chatty for their own good.

    The roads by and large have been great. I especially enjoyed the last reg of the night. Lots of tight twists and the road conditions were ideal for right-foot steering.

    We start early so it’s to bed for us. Enjoy.

    I know what Fugawi stands for.
