Back by popular demand is Don Taylor's TSD rally to the very top of the hill on Saturday eventing immediately following the timed runs! Entry fee will be $5 per car, free if you worked on the hill that day. This version of the rally will be a little more complicated that the last one. Rumor has it that there might be CAS changes and maybe even a check point.

Also, please note the phone number for us listed in the original information sheet and entry form is no longer good (we simply got rid of the land line to the house.) Please use 603-558-1553 to get in touch with me or 603-558-1551 for Diane. Texting is fine too.

Thanks,
Dave

Nice run and nice vid! I loved Charlie's universal expression of displeasure at grabbing 5th instead of 3rd!
