Still looks like a good strong field. After the fun & games in Otago, I am tempted to cross the Tasman again to watch this event too but alas my boss has other ideas.

Should be great - Here's hoping for another good result for Emma :)

I saw Brett Martin's Evo IX on the road yesterday - as I was cycling home from the shopping mall I saw it on a trailer being towed by a ute waiting at the traffic lights. There was a man and a woman in the ute - I wonder who they could have been...?

The local guys are really giving it to the Internationals. Taking the top 3 or 4 places in each stage until the super special. It looks very close.

Dean Sumner was having a great run until the bridge jumped out and hit him.

He had picked up a penalty for checking into the stage a minute early too.

Emma Gilmour has been taken to hospital for observation after going off the road on Waipu Caves.

Not good news at all!!

:( Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for Emma, and for her to be back to full strength for the next round.

Wow. :( Hopefully it's nothing too serious and she can be back next round. :)
On the other hand...looks like she doesn't hold back... :D
And if Glenn really left Atko because of the crashes... hehehe :p :

It was a huge accident from what I saw on the TV news. The car looked to have been shortened, concertina-style, by about a foot. From what they said on the news she'll be fine, but will the car be ready?

It was a shame for Paddon & Murray as well. Earlier they had proven to be more than a match for the international drivers.

Try this link. If it doesn't work, go to Emma's website (http://www.emmagilmour.com) and check out the latest 'E Letter'. This shell is a gonner. She has a new '06 body shell from PBMS which was painted wednesday night, assembly is starting to take place now, and the aim is she will be at Wairarapa!

Wow! That's a big accident. Lets hope Emma and Glenn can get the new car sorted and they havn't lost any confidence going into the next round.

Found some videos on Youtube of Rally Whangarei. Two of Dylan Turners rollover at SS14 Brooks. Same spot Gronholm rolled a few years back.
