| Eric on the right. | Tom and George work Net Control. | Who in their right mind would take a brand-new car (with the dealer stickers still on it) and put a rally sticker on the paint? | Jeff from Rally America with Car 0. | Car 0 runs at rally speed just before first car... these guys have FUN. | ||

| Media humping their gear onto the stage. | Way out there, in the middle of the picture are the media guys. | Zoomed in - just left of the dust, you can see the fluorescent vests. | Gosh, how long has this been out there? A year? 20 years? Nope, 20 minutes... and one stage. | Dusty stage today! This is the timing line equipment at the Flying Finish. | ||

| Bob talks with 0 car before the stage is opened for rally cars. This is Stage 9 aka Middle Cog 3, and the third stage we worked on Saturday. | Jeff from Rally America inspects the control setup. | Car coming! | Barely visible to the left of the car is the red Flying Finish checkered flag sign... next to that are Ben and Keenan working FF... in the dust. | |||

| White ambulance on left, yellow fire truck on right,and yes there's a rally car in the dust. | This car is way too clean! | Bob's "day at work", co-driver is hamming it up. | ||||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Big grin on co-driver's face. | Just enough window to get the scorecard through. | |||||

| Reflection of Bob clearly visible. | ||||||

| Wow that tire is chewed up! | Window doesn't go down, so they have to open the door to get the scorecard to us. | Fun! | ||||

| Changing the tire. | Car 466 lost its CV-joint on a previous stage. | Bob and Sue were leaving Stage 9 finish and stopped to watch and chat. | Not one, but TWO impact drills. | |||
 |

 |
||
| There's the broken axle. | Co-driver lifts the front end. | They decide to check the other side as long as the car's already up on jacks. | ||||

| Back in Steamboat Springs at the Parc Expose - a horse and buggy! | Driver and co-driver (you can tell by the rolled-down fire suit), both texting away. | Coolest car number - 911. | Travis Pastrana chats with fans. | Sue LOVES this cow. | ||
 |
 |
||
| Coolest paint job with lots of iridescent decals. | At the Boathouse restaurant, seared ahi tuna and house burger. Both presented beautifully, and REALY good food! | ||
