Fired up by that success, I would expect you to think that I'd be champing at the bit to get out there to search for a chance to occupy the silly seat again. Except I wasn't in a hurry. I didn't need to be, because I had already fielded a request to co-drive at the Lake Superior Performance Rally (LSPR) in Houghton Michigan on October 14th and 15th.
Initially, I was a tad wary about accepting the offer, especially as this was before Ojibwe had even taken place. First I wanted to know what it was going to be like to co-drive for someone I hadn't met before. Co-driving with Adam at Ojibwe was a test to see how things worked. We got on well in the car, being able to work together to solve the communications problems and ended up with trophies. So I felt good about accepting the offer from William Marenich to occupy the silly seat in his 1991 VW Golf.

We've talked about the car and its set up, finding that we don't need to make any changes to the seat to get me to fit inside. The car also has the same rally computer that I'm learning to use, the ASE Rally Com. We also found that we share many common interests, which means we will have plenty to talk about during the transits between stages. Talking to each other won't be a problem as we have a working intercom in this car.
There you have it. A new rally, new car, new driver and new friends to make. If you see this spiffy looking VW Golf #723 on the rally give us a cheer!
