last year I think I was shooting on A2, about 4 or 5 km from the finish and Block didn’t make it to me!

I’m not sure how many cars “the rock” claimed this year. Even Frank Sprongl has been cought by it. The in-car was priceless. He knew he was going to hit it as he was leaving the ground on the jump before it. And yes, Ken Block hit it on his first attempt at pines. He hasn’t gotten far enough into the rally to hit it since..

There were some good wrecks, but a lot of the DNF’s seemed to be mechanical. The roads are so soft that when the rally is dry, they get very rutted and big rocks appear/get turned up. I reckon a lot of suspension failures, smashed sump guards etc..

Yeah, I seem to recall Block did a nose drag off it.

How many were taken out by ‘the rock’ on Lower (or was it Middle) Hastings? One year, Losier was third or fourth one to get tagged and ended up using the neon green wing from his mashed Evo V to flag down competing vehicles. I think even Ken Block lost it his first time through a couple years ago.

I bet you’re glad it was warmer than last year!

Big congrats to Pat & Alan!
