Rally West Virginia 2011
Friday, August 12, 2011
After a two year hiatus Rally West Virginia returns and is hosted at Snowshoe Mountain, West Virginia with the stages running in the nearby forests. Kieran is back with Simon at this event with the car recently repaired following a strut tower failure at New England Forest Rally.
Unfortunately late issues with the organization meant there were fewer stages than planned
We seemed to have a secret admirer - as can been seen in the banner picture above, someone had placed a “GO USUK” sign on the approach to the start of one of the stages. It’s nice to get that support. We just had to stop and take the picture.
Adam Marris was crew chief and Mike Miller and Mary Miller were our crew at this event and did an excellent job even though it was Mike and Mary’s first event. We had no serious issues with the car this time.
Day 2 of the rally included two long 20 mile stages in good conditions with less dust. The transits to and from service up on Snowshoe Mountain were a bit tedious but we’re hoping for improvements for this event next year. Overall a lot of fun and great roads.
