Jonah finishes the 2010
Dakar Rally in 7th place
overall
Stage 14, The Final Stage is
complete bringing us to the end of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Jonah
finished the stage in 12th place and the overall in 7th.
To
put the Dakar into a summarized perspective, The Dakar is a world class
sporting event put on over 15 days and 14 stages. The route covered
7504 kilometers / 4,690 miles (the distance from San Francisco to
Tokyo) in length and at its highest point 3,200 meters / 10,560 feet
through the Andes Mountains. The terrain throughout the Dakar is
unbelievably difficult and only for those who are highly skilled and
trained professionals with a bit of a crazy streak.
On behalf of Top 1 Oil Products,
we'd like to thank you all for following along with us over the past
two weeks. We are very pleased with Jonah's ride and 7th place finish
but more importantly we are especially pleased that Jonah and the Rally
Pan Am Team finished the Dakar without serious injury and will be home
with their families in a few days.
Finally, a special thanks to Charlie, Niles and Robb of Team Rally
Pan Am for their hard work and dedication to running in the Dakar.
What these guys accomplished on a "shoe string" budget is incredible!
Thanks Guys!
