The National Capital Rally Canada's round one for our side-by-side series, Can-Am versus Polaris. Michael Guest and David Green come out in the brand new turbocharged machine. Unlucky not to win, showed the pace one nine of the twelve stages however had a mechanical issue and bumped them back to third on the podium. We meant to catch up with them. It's a little bit dark here at the moment. They've already disappeared or maybe Geese is out on Lake Burley Griffin maybe doing a little bit of fishing. So we will have a chance though to catch up with our second and first outright. Ian Hughes and David Piper Walden mate, second on the opening round. Good job. Thank you very much, Charles. It's been a very long rally. I think now I've done every rally in every state and I can safely say that Ice would have more grip than out there. I made a few big moments, one we're up on two wheels into an embankment. I thought game over for us but it somehow pulled itself back down and then I backed my pace right off a bit to just try and finish. I've never experienced anything that slippery in my life. It's difficult in these things isn't it David? The notes for you guys are starting to gel though, you're committing to them. Yeah, this one in particular, a lot of fast straights, a lot of fast sweeping corners straight into a real slow 90 degree bend. I had to be on my notes otherwise it was going to end not good. So yeah, we're just like reliability wise. That's what brought us home I think. We didn't have a fault all weekend. We had a small clutching issue but other than that fantastic weekend. Good way to start the series mate. You have upset these bigger boys a couple of times so I know they probably held you to task a bit here but you've got some good events coming. Yeah, it was definitely an experience rally this one where the experience had pace notes that sort of thing and the can and with the turbo I mean it's going to be a quick machine but Polaris are only going to bring something out and beat it again and that's pretty standard. Well done guys, congratulations, great start. Thank you. Thanks mate. And the winners of the opening round in the Polaris, Cody Crocker Gregg for later, congratulations mate but you were under a bit of pressure this weekend. Yeah, the tables have turned so my guest he's got some speed there so we've got to try and build to match that and I think we were pushing pretty hard, ran out of brakes, we actually break a brake line twice so we've had a pretty hairy run through Tidby and Biller in there. I got Gregg to try and call all the tight corners about a kilometer before we got to them just so I was ready to get on the brakes enough time to actually make it. We made it and still got the win so we're pretty happy with that. Gregg the commitment by all the side by side is unbelievable isn't it? Yeah, it's always lifting a level and a level and a level so this weekend the times have been pretty amazing so I think Cody said when he was looking for those notes early ahead he wasn't hearing them because I had actually hopped out of the car and I wasn't going to be in there with no brakes. But even with no brakes it's still, we had to commit and had to push on and I think we were a bit surprised at the time at the end so it's going to be a good year. The points are on the board, what are we expecting for the answer is going to be tough again. We'll take them while we can and we'll eventually get a win so we'll take that. Thank you very much but we've got a lot of work ahead of us, we want to do a bit more testing now to try and see if we can peg back even up to a second okay I reckon that's going to make us competitive. So that's a big gap as we know in rallying so we've got some work to do. Enjoy what you can though, first round winners congratulations.


Here's how we're going to get the Federal Reserve Bank to stop funding climate destruction. First, the problem. U.S. banks have collectively funneled $1.2 trillion into fossil fuels in the past five years since the Paris Agreement. This is the money that keeps corporations like Exxon, Shell, and BP alive. And big banks aren't going to stop financing climate chaos on their own. They've told us that quite clearly. We're going to need oil and gas for a long time. We should lend to those companies to help make progress faster rather than divest from them. So there's a very direct economic connection, which if banks such as J.P. Morgan don't change their practices, ultimately it's very poor business over the longer term. Now the solution. There is a way we can stop them. And it's the U.S. Federal Reserve's job to do it. The Federal Reserve system, or the Fed, is a referee of the economy. It was created to regulate the economy for all the people. Not only do they have the legal authority to make fossil fuel finance less desirable and possibly set limits on financing of those fuels, it's their responsibility. Climate chaos is a disaster for all of us, including our economy. But under the current leadership of Chairman Jerome Powell, the Fed is failing on climate. But instead of supporting black, brown, and indigenous communities hit hardest by the climate crisis and COVID-19, Powell's Fed bailed out the planet-killing fossil fuel industry to the tune of billions. Oil and gas corporations aren't suddenly going to stop fracking and drilling because it's the right thing to do. It's going to take the full weight of the climate movement pushing the Fed in order to stop them. Please sign the petition and share this video.
