Very Good Video With A Great View

#212 Jag Does Some Agricultural Driving

I can just imagine what happen. I assume the conversation in the car went something like this...

Hey, isnt that that the exact spot where Bledsoe had his bad wreck?
Yeah that sure was.
Man are we lucky we made it through there.
We sure are... By the way, what does the route book say about this next corner?

The sound is really bad so you might as well turn it off.

Let's Go Back To 2007!

Now it's our turn for those of us who ran the 2007 La Carrera Panamericana. Here is one of GO FAST ENERGY DRINKS cool videos. Let's all hope they return to La Carrera Panamericana too.

Hello... Farmer's Insurance? You'll never believe what happened this weekend.

Recorded phone call from home;

Hello honey!
Yes, everything is just great and we're fine.
What's that you ask?
Oh sure the car is still in one piece....
It's just has a different shape than the last time you saw it.

I have no idea how many times I have heard or read, "La Carrera Panameriacana.... Oh that's not really racin. It's just a rally." Well, I hate to burst that bubble but maybe these photos from last weeks race will change that line of thinjing.

How Bad Do YOU Need a LCP Fix?

Yesterday while listening to an interview with Nascar's legendary Bobby Allison I couldn't help but stop and think about a couple of La Carrera Panamericana teams that had run last year's event and had returned again this year for more. The comment that Allison made that caught my attention was when he said, "It sure would be nice to be remembered for what a good driver I was instead of one of being in one of the most famous crashes."

Last year's La Carrera Panamericana saw what will always remembered as one of it's worst crashes. Fortunately nobody was serious injured. But what I find amazing about the wreck was that I know for a fact most people would not have come back again and for a myriad of reasons much too long to even go in to. However a few that stand out are the cost factor, fear factor, frustration and so on. For any of these reasons making the decision to return for some would be impossible. For some it would be difficult. For a few it would be impossible not to return. Once again... for a myriad of reasons.

One of my favorite quotes is from The Count of Monte Christo when he said, “Life is a storm my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout, as you did in Rome, ‘Do your worst…for I will do mine.’”




In case you haven't already figured out who the teams I am speak of are by now, I am referring to Stewart and Linda Robertson and Bob Summerour and Bud Feldkamp. Both of these teams had beautiful cars and it was obvious both teams had spent countless hours and dollars preparing them for exactly one reason... to compete in La Carrera Panamericana. Knowing full well exactly how attached we become to a car which we have poured our very souls into I completely understand what an indescribable emotional let down that whole event must have been. Not only that but when I saw Stewart leaning over Linda as she lay motionless on the ground I couldn't imagine what a heart stopper that must have been.

The bad news is regardless how well either of these teams do this year or any other year they will always be remembered for that terrible crash in 2008. That crash that could have been so much worse.

But there's good news... First and foremost none of them suffered any more than some superficial injuries bot physical or mental. They are also a testimony that the required safety equipment required does it job when installed properly. Last but not least, their actions prove to the entire racing community there is no race in the world that begs to be run more than La Carrera Panamericana and teams are willing to make large scale sacrifices to keep coming back for more.

When each of these teams returned this year they each brought back just a little bit of each one of us as well and we all own them of heart felt gratitude. There really is a Spirit Of La Carrera and this year it was in the form of a purple Studebaker and a maroon Mustang.

Many of you have probably see the infamous video but this one is the one you must see since it will take you right into the middle of the action.



Congratulations to Cars #120 and #363 for an outstanding comeback.

Another Upbeat Account By El Taxi Perdido



Here's a couple of guys who didn't even have a trailer but they hooked up a car the size of a box of Cracker Jacks to the back of a friend's SUV and towed it to Mexico to compete with 100 world class cars. Who would have ever thought they would come home with a trunk load of trophies but that's exactly what they did. That enough should be enough to impress anyone who knows anything about La Carrera Panamericana or that races for that matter and rightfully so.

#291 Alfa Romeo Driven by Martin Lauber and Co-Piloto Conrad Stevenson


But what really impressed me wasn't the trophies and it wasn't the car (still gotta admit that's a pretty cool car). Nope, what impressed me was two things... I was impressed by the support they got from friends and family who left comments on their blog but most impressive of all was their, no excuses, no B/S, for not winning their class and what fine gentleman racers they proved themselves to be when they spoke about the team that beat them in their class. They pretty much gave dredit was credit was due and they admitted they got bested by a better team on a given day.

Nothing but class and these are the sort of guys any of us would be proud to be affiliated with. I tip my hat to them.


Here is one of the post from their blog. (By the way, keeping a blog updated regularly while racing in LCP is not easy and these guys did an outstanding job doing so.)

"We’re all safely back in the USA and I’m waiting for my connecting flight in Denver, where there is snow on the ground. Funny to think that this time yesterday I was going 220 Km an hour on ten miles of closed freeway, sweating in my race suit. Today, I just sitting here reliving all the excitement. Here’s how things turned out at the awards ceremony. For Day seven, we won our third consecutive 1st place podium finish. This was just fantastic and Conrad and I were proud to once again stand up there and celebrate a great day. After the day’s results they announced the overall results and we knew that since we broke down on the first day, we had over six minutes to make up for to catch our nearest competitor, Team Apple Farmer. Well, we hustled all week and we made up most of those six minutes, besting their times in each stage, but in the end, their consistency, fast times and quality preparations prevailed and the very deserving Team Apple Farmer and their Volvo 122S took 1st place overall in Historic A plus class. We took second and we’re pretty damn pleased. Firstly, because Team Apple Farmer (Richard and Nate) are two of the nicest guys and they absolutely deserve the win. Not only did they run strong every day, they also helped us with advice and support throughout the week. They are true champions and great guys. We’re also excited about our result because it being our first time, we were happy just to finish. We surprised a lot of people and our little taxi was well loved amongst the other teams. Even by the German guy who thought it was a Lada."

And Now My Own Bed Calls Out To Me




Have you ever heard of PCSD (Post Carrera Stress Disorder)? Rookie LCP teams are about to learn about for the first time and it's a very real disorder. Marcia explains it best on her blog Road Rally Rhythms...

Woke Up Today And Thought I Was Late For The Start




It's so good to hear upbeat accounts of the race but some of the best are written by team mates who are dead-beat tired. Many times because of all that wear and tear not to mention the fact they have had very little time to themselves or rest it's only normal for some minor depression to set in. But here is a sample of nothing but a positive outlook when Lauren Scheller, co-piloto of the #433 Ford wrote;

"Fun day yesterday for the last day of racing. Started out on La Bufa
coming out of Zacatecas (after my morning uphill sprint) then 4 high
speed sections. The last 2 were on a beautiful toll road that was shut
down for us. The car ran well, not 100% but maybe 90%. We had a lot
of fun. Really long transit into Nuevo Laredo but well worth it.

It was an amazing feeling getting into N. Laredo with car running
having survived against the odds. I've heard it said many times and it
is so true - anyone who finishes this race and crosses the finish line
truly deserves a big congratulations. This ain't no Sunday drive to
Grandma's!

Last night was a fun dinner and awards at the cultural center in N.
Laredo. Our table had a rockin' good time, especially after the third
bottle of tequila! We sat with the Fudges and Ricky (and) Bobby. Big
congrats to Ricky (and) Bobby on winning Historic A in their yellow
porsche!

We got 2nd in our class by 23 seconds and 2nd overall to Chrislana and
John Gregory in the studebaker. Given our trials we are pretty darn
stoked with that. We also got an award for having the prettiest car in
class. I wonder if they voted for that before we crashed??

Leaving Laredo now, can't wait to sleep in my own bed. Woke up this
morning thinking we had to rush to the starting arch..."

The Clock Is Ticking

Now the big question is... How long will we have to wait for Day 7 results and the absolute overall results so we will know who placed in all the other classes. If it takes as long as it has in past years you won't want to hold your breath.
