Scattered rain storms and overcast skies greeted the teams on the morning of Leg Two.After a brief Parc Expose in downtown Shelton, WA, the teams set out to complete the morning loop of stages.Despite finishing Leg One with competitive stage times the string of bad luck that had put the Flatirons duo out of first place in class returned on the first stage of the morning."About half way through Stage 11 we started to lose turbo boost and had to switch the car to the low boost setting, giving up precious horsepower and losing time.On Stage 12 it became evident we had damaged our exhaust on some of the rough sections at some point and had an exhaust leak that was robbing us of power.Also a few miles into the stage we were forced to stop with electrical damage which caused the engine to shut down," stated Crouch.
