That’s quite a rear end!

As some of you may have seen at Sandblast, we had slightly different setup for the rear suspension for this really.  Anyone who’s owned a MkIV Golf/Jetta can tell you that the rear axle seems to be made of Swiss cheese.  Except not as stiff.  It seemed as if we were bending the thing pretty badly every other rally.  There isn’t much to be done once it’s bent.  A bit of reinforcement was tried in order to triangulate and strengthen the arms, but to no avail.  Tall Pines was exceptionally rough.  Due to a lack of snow and ice, speeds were considerably higher than normal.  Being as it was my co-driver’s second rally, we weren’t pushing extremely hard, yet still managed to put some serious hurting on the axle.  During the last service, we had to repair a shock that had ripped its top mount out of the chassis.  At the end of the rally, the other shock had done the same thing.

Rain and sand wreck havoc at Sandblast Rally

The 2010 Sandblast Rally proved to be a promising but sadly unfinishable event for the noSpark team. Holding a strong 6th place and contending for the 2WD Heavy class after SS4, Hordijk/Amend were dragged into a sand rut on SS5 and hit an unforeseen bump that peeled away the TDI’s front skid plate like it was aluminum foil, driving the car into the clay and sand a mere quarter mile later. But, that’s rally! So instead of dwelling on an insignificant DNF, let me tell you what rally racing is really about – the road tripping, the comradeship, and the event itself!
