My bro emailed these to me after getting back from the rally (the car he wrenches on finished third in class and 16th overall). Thought I'd share.

Sideways again.

Cornering in the mud.

Kicking up some serious roost.

You play, you pay. Time to fix the front brakes.

Nope. They compete in the "Group 2" class which is normally-aspirated 2.0 liter engines and front wheel drive. It is pretty much a full-factory car tho, which means that the motor is making about 220 hp according to my brother. He did a lot of the dyno work this spring, so I'll take his word for it.

bump for the late-night crowd.

Sweet!

I was there, btw, but just as a spectator on Sunday. I think I'm actually in the crowd in the "cornering in the mud" pic (that was SS12 on Sunday afternoon).

Nah....they don't make them out of flame-retardant materials for the most part.
