Ha, we finished the "return to center" electrical part of the rear steer while we were out there on Sunday... with a wiring diagram that was wrong (had too much information, but we guessed right
).
There were times that we would've never touched the rear though... Seeing Viz turning Leo's rear wheels on the Hill Climb surprised me...

Agreed, and the worst part was that we all tried to tell Ryan and Mindi, but we got "shushed" by the judges... At one point I saw myself in the video with my head in my hands and I remember quite clearly that feeling of impending needless destruction, not my favorite part of TTC.
In the end... he would have only lost ONE point if he'd stopped... Not enough to change the final standings in any way. (but you don't know that at the time!)

My understanding is Driver only once per vehicle, Co-Driver all you want...
Doug Kahlstrom was a Driver last year (red Dodge) and was PJ's Co-driver this year in the Willys Buggy. I don't think that anyone has ever returned with a different rig as a Driver again, but the possibility exists if voted in by the readers.

Did you get the feeling that the "crew" was slightly insulted by that?
