Another cold start to the morning with ice on the car again.

 

There were a few withdrawals from yesterday but most Rally Cars started Day 2.

 

Today was not going to be a quiet day with 2 of the Advance cars breaking down and me having to fill in as 0A for one of the wind farm stages. It is not often you see a Holden Colorado with a BBQ on the roof be the lead car of a Rally.

 

I had just cleared the Wind Farm stage, when there was a rollover with injuries at one of the other stages. This was going to fill in most of the day.

 

It was not serious injuries that were the issue but due to them being spine related, the ambulance crew were not willing to cause further injury transporting out on the rough roads.

 

A Rescue Helicopter was dispatched from Adelaide, with part of my duties being air traffic controller assisting with the landing. 

 

The rest of the Rally was uneventful and following the podium presentations, it was off to the Burra Hotel for yet another BBQ.

 

Tomorrow I start my trek up to Darwin and since there has been no rain on the Oodnadatta Track, it looks like I will be headed that way.
