Return from the Land of Elderly Gamblers

2007

The WayTooFast Racing Team made it back from the 2007 Laughlin International Rally and it was an interesting trip to say the least. The RallyNotes Team had a great showing at this event and we’d like to congratulate them on their successful season. You can read more about their exploits at RallyNotes.com.

We learned a few things from our adventures in Laughlin, NV:

1) Just because it’s an international event, televised on ESPN 2, doesn’t mean we should sweat it. A rally, is a rally, is a rally. When we attend next year we’ll treat it as such, with little to no added intimidation factor.

2) Harry and Danielle are naturals at rolling in craps…Kevin and Jake should never, ever (ever!) touch the dice. Never. Don’t even look at them before they are thrown.

3) We like numbered lists.

4) Running recce is a great thing. Not only did we get to pre-drive the courses multiple times, get a feel for the terrain and correct stage notes as necessary, we got to drive down into the Grand Canyon…truly beautiful. We even got a pic of Kris peeing into the Colorado. Please take this under advisement if you live downstream (pun intended).

5) Fact: There is such a thing as too much beef jerky, but not too many In-N-Out burgers. Who knew…

6) What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas because it’s usually deviant behavior. What happens in Laughlin stays in Laughlin because the majority of visitors have advanced senility. Next year we will bring replacement struts for the Neon and replacement hips for the masses.

As the rally season winds down, the WayTooFast Racing Team is focusing on 2008. It will be a big year for us. Although we’ve run Gorman and numerous RallyX’s, the coming year will be our true rookie season. We expect big things from our little car and we hope you will all come along for the ride.

Heartfelt thanks to our readers, sponsors, friends and families and we hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

-The WayTooFast Racing Team
