It rained buckets last night! Huge storms moved through the area late last night, turning our service park into a mud bog. We heard many other teams' tents were damaged by high winds and heavy rain. It was messy to say the least. |

Here is Nasser Al-Attiyah's car coming driving into his tent after hitting a few things last night on the stages! Nasser would not re-start on Sunday because there was no chance of getting any points. |

They had the rally live on tv in Argentina! Here is a shot of a plasma screen in our P-WRC hospitality tent showing one of the stages live on national television. Really cool. |

Here is the reason we are 10th in the P-WRC and not 8th. On stage 20 we hit a large stone or cement culvert that punctured BOTH front tires at the same time! At first Travis didn't know what was wrong with the car, as 2 blown front tires must be a strange feeling and a rarity. We had to stop on the stage and change both tires, losing over 7 minutes and dropping to 10th in the P-WRC. That's rally. |

Unfortunately it seemed that Travis was signing more male chests than female. |

A view of the service area being torn down after the rally, with the lake in the distance. This was shot from the headquarters hotel where all the rally officials worked. |

Here is famous Road & Track Magazine writer Andy Bornhop interviewing Travis after the rally. Andy came down from the USA to do a story on Travis and his rally endeavors. |

Travis and I were 3rd among P-WRC Subaru rally cars, and received a great award from STI (Subaru Technica International - the motorsports division of Subaru that engineers the STI road car and Group N class Subaru rally cars). Here is George Donaldson and Michito Matsumura of STI presenting us the awards. |

It was really great to win something here! It was such a hard fight just to finish on these tough roads against such tough competition. |
