Finished!! finalized

It's just after 8 pm NL time, and we're done, literally and figuratively. We finished the day with no incidents, and we think we were pretty clean. We took a 2 second penalty on the second stage, and the rest of the stages that were run we at least zeroed the finishes. Harbour Grace stage couldn't be shut down securely and ended up being cancelled. We paraded over the course (would have been a very difficult in-town stage), and were then late for Brigus, which was to be run twice. They cancelled one, we had a very quick lunch, and we finished off the last 4 stages. If there were no penalties on ITC's, then we stand a good chance of finishing third. If Kearley and Martin made any mistakes - well, we'll find out later tonight.

9:45 - preliminary results have been posted, and we have tied for second overall, with a total of 10 penalty seconds. Ferd and Christoph continued with zeros across the board. We took only the 2 seconds on Petit Forte stage, and Kearley and Martin took 3, putting both teams at 10 seconds. Now there may be inquiries still outstanding, but I think we're good!

The gala awards ball is Saturday night, and I'll try to post vid and pics before that.

(oh, we discovered our passenger's name over the week - it's Wally)

Saturday September 19 - results are final. Second place in the Equipped class, tied for second place overall.
