Somehow a comment during a recce rest stop at the New England Forest Rally about dog biscuits being edible morphed into a rally wager between us and the car of Tyler Rohrer and Ryan Symancek. The car with the slowest time on the "power stage" (last stage of the rally) would have to eat a dog biscuit at the finish. I probably would have been less worried about losing if we'd bet $50.

this may explain a lot about me , but , as a child I would hide under my grandmother's sink and eat Milk Bones . As I recall, they were quite tasty .

Nice! I was very tense waiting for you to call when the finish was coming up.

Also, I've noticed you are one of the happiest-sounding co-drivers out there.

That settles it, I'm starting a petition to have Google/YouTube add "pacenote" to their available closed caption languages.

It's easy to sound happy when you're batshit insane

In order to participate in a rally from either the driver's or co-driver's seat, I believe that is a requirement. I haven't figured out which one requires more batshit insanity, however.

Because it's from a smartphone app that uses the phone's GPS

Dusty, I didnt know how to contact you, but I (as promised) signed up to volunteer at the Black River Stages Rally. I need a roommate though, if you can help me out, let me know. Otherwise, see you there? Look for the idiot driving a cavalier with a fart ccannon.

Oh god. You mean Oppo has two idiots driving Cavaliers with fart cannons? Not sure what capacity I'll be attending Black River in yet but I'll tell you when I know. I'll see what I can do about finding you a roommate. Are they still offering hotel and fuel compensation on the website like in previous years?

Wait, whose the other idiot? I know some guys have cobalt SS's but I thought i was the only guy with a cavalier with a fart cannon. Thanks for the help, there is fuel and lodging help available I think.

OHNO5OH, though he'd probably get mad at me for calling it a fart cannon

He has a cobalt SS, mighty sucessor to the Cavalier I think.
