Chris Greenhouse back on the podium at Ojibwe Forests Rally

Could someone explain the callouts from the navigator?

Stage 10 - Sugar Bush

That suspension must be dialed in or you used one kick azz camera, I can't get that steady of a shot on paved roads.

Ok, I have some (kinda crappy) pics that I took of the camera mount:





maybe better to just view these on Rammounts site:

Double Socket Arm that holds them together

They have a windshield mount too that is quite useful and quite strong, but I do not recommend that for competition use

I'm going to guess, and hopefully have someone who really knows correct me where I'm wrong (or expound upon my limited guess) that they are describing the upcoming road conditions and recommended speeds they should be taken at. There also seems to be other information being conveyed, such as possible water hazards and their location relative to the car as well as braking recommendations ("late", etc). The various turns seem to get a number rating, I can only assume that the higher numbers are more severe.

Now someone who really knows come along and "polish this turd" of an answer!

That's Ok, Mike, this kind of thing is new to most everyone on this board. The short version: turns for us our numbered with 6 being fastest and 1 being slowest. Numbers divisible by 10 are distances between instructions in yards (or meters internationally)

more detailed explanation:

a few side notes:

• some prefer to use "descriptive notes" i.e. "flat right" "Fast right" "medium Right" etc
• Irish and most British prefer to use notes that are reversed i.e. 1 is fastest and 6 is slowest
• Australians have evolved a bit differently and prefer a 1-10 based system

I could flood the board with info on this, but that's the CliffNotes version

I definitely noticed watching some of the UK stuff that the numbers were reversed. Keep posting vids when you can! Great stuff!

Stage 10 - Sugar Bush

I was absolutely exhausted after this stage. Sitting in a car with the windows rolled up on a 95deg day while wearing a helmet, gloves, facemask, and a snowsuit while working this hard was not easy

Welcome, great stuff, waiting for a video with engine noise etc!!

Thanks

Congrats and welcome! Haven't seen vids like those since speed channel was running WRC. Thanks!
