LHFR result

Alan and Bruce were really starting to click at the Lanark Highland Stage Rally, but then the Rubber Ducky didn't want to - click, that is. Nearing the end of the third of five stages, the shifter jammed; Alan couldn't get it into any gear. We coasted to the side of the road, our day done. We hoped for a tow out to the end of the stage, but Sweep was busy with the other carnage on the road, so when they reached us, there was only time to tow us to the next safe spot - which happened to be by a couple of trailers that some locals had positioned by the road to watch the rally. So we chatted them up, had some burgers, and watched the rest of the rally with them.

Chris had heard of our problem over the radio, and went back to service for the truck and trailer. After the last stage, he brought it in, and the car was loaded up with the help of the locals.

Here are the standings for Prod GT: Haywood and Morrow won P-GT at Perce Neige, Ryall and Leonard won Shannonville Stages, and Haywood and Morrow won LHFR, which gives Haywood and Morrow 18 points to our 9 points. Next up - Black Bear Rally.

Jane and Bruce will be doin' it in the dirt at the next event June 5 - Brooke Jacob's ever-challenging Discover Ontario, round 5 of 9 in the ORRC,
