We win!

Primitive wins Class 3 (seat-of-the-pants) by a wide margin in the 2008 Alcan Winter Rally (5000 miles over 10 days). We ended up a respectable 6th overall, beating several of the top computer class cars. We wanted the overall win this year, but mild conditions, and several dropped ICE SLALOM events kept us from that goal. Maybe next time.

Our team mates RDale Kraushaar and Glenn Wallace won Class 2 and did vie for the overall win finishing 2nd overall just a couple of seconds off the winning score. Our other team mates Steve Perrett and Kathryn Hansen did great finishing 2nd in Class 3.

The Primitive Arctic Challengers Team won the "TEAM CUP" for best team performance. Go Subaru!

I am no longer really sick! Yea! Getting better after a trip to the clinic. We were in maybe 4th place overall after the first half of the rally and first in class, but may have fallen a little back today... We will see...
Oh, and Kala came back about 6:30am with the "can-can" dance squad...
