Hey, what's going on guys welcome back to the Mike force podcast. It is of course your

host Mike G back from Mexico. So if you guys are tracking all of the things that have happened

recently, I just got back from the rally of nations in Leon, Mexico. Start of this great adventure

and getting involved in international rally. I'm almost speechless based on the experience that I

had. It was the most exhausting experience at the same time, one of the most rewarding and fulfilling

things I've ever done. The way it worked was the world rally championship is held in Mexico,

normally, but the WRC pulled out. It's an international competition obviously. They pulled out and so

they're kind of revalidating that process to get everybody involved in last minute. They're like,

a whole bunch of things that had to come together perfectly for this to happen. But 16 hours of

Recky, I believe was 16, 17 stages, a lot of stages that we had to do reconnaissance on and fix our

notes because there wasn't Java notes pre-written notes were not done. So we had to go through and

write the notes from scratch and we did most of the stages twice. Now these are long stages. It's not

like American rally. These stages are 22 kilometers in length. They take 18, 16 to 20 minutes to run

on average and they are brutal. Oh, and by the way, they're at elevation. Me and Dave's car,
