He also uploaded the coverage of the power stage in its entirety, but its not really worth watching unless you want to see what Nicky Grist has to say about everyone.

There was a local team from Columbus that went down and raced. Andrew Frick as driver, and Ryan Scott as navigator. They raced for Rally Team for Dreams. Here is a brief synopsis of how they did:

 

WE WON! Rally Team for Dreams won the Rally America overall category of WRC Rally Mexico by over 7 minutes! We also were the fastest 2WD car in the entire rally - not bad for a little stock-motored Ford Focus...that kept eating ball joints and had no power steering for 2/3 of the rally. :)

 

Based on stage times we would have placed 10th in the World Rally Championship rally if our car was FIA homologated. Yeah, 10th overall in the WRC - we would have scored points in the championship! A perfect way to end a great adventure. More info later - first dinner and then the rally after-party. Cheers! Oh yeah...we're now 4-0 against Ken & Alex. :)

 

Rally Team for Dreams would like to thank the Rally Mexico organizers/officials, the officials from the cities of León, Guanajuato, and Silo, Finnish TV station MTV3, Ruta Rally, Ultra 98.3, the extremely passionate Mexican rally fans, and all of our new team members around the world that bought blocks on our rally car in support of Camp Sunrise.

 

Aprecio mucho to our wives for their unbelievable patience and support, and to Megan Myers, Ryan Moore, Jon Angello, Dylan Menges, Chris Wood, and Karina Flores for their immense help in getting the Rally Team for Dreams movement rolling. Lastly, huge thanks to Johnny Despain for joining our team last minute in Laredo as our crew chief, ensuring our rally car survived all 22 grueling rally stages, and as an invaluable translator for all the US teams.

 

Words cannot express how unbelievable our experience at the '11 WRC Rally Mexico has been and plans are already underway to expand our campaign. Hope to see you on the stages soon - Rally On!

 

They're basically more along the lines of your grassroots Rally team. They raised all the money they needed to go down there and race, with a huge thanks to the last minute donations!

I recognize that car. They've come out to a few RallyCross events. :)
