Eldas report

Elda gets a hug from Petter in Argentina 2008

Very early in the morning we leave for the place where will run during the day the Shakedown.
When we arrive to Cabalango place under an intense rain, the police didnt allow us to cross the bridge because the water passed on it.
For that we decide to take another route about 18 kilometers of distance for enter across the area of the start called Villa García.
There, we were waiting the arrival of the WRC and the first car in appearing was Chris´s car.
After few minutes we saw at the end of the street the Petter´s car with its lit lights and proving to the maximum the Pirelli tyres.
He stopped the car for a control of FIA while Phil for his side testing the tyres.
The emotion of being living another rally made me so happy.
I said Petter and Phil good luck and both goes on the road for our mountains!
Supporting a torrential rain we stays to the side of the road until passed all the cars many times, but when we cannot support more the rain we decide to return to our pick up.

Hope the weather change!

Wednesday 26th
After a big rain stopped we decide to attend in disco Club Inn the launching of a book in honor to Argentinean´s rally driver deceased during a rally called Jorge Recalde.
The ceremony was very emotive with the presence of his relatives and friends.
When we saw the video of his races and when we listen a song, the memory took our senses and an immense emotion moved us because we remembered that he was not only a great rally driver also he was a great person.
We return the city full of emotion and very anxious to read the book about his memories and ready to sleep only some hours and to leave for the shakedown
