Rovanperä: the worst could still be to come

Andreas Mikkelsen’s Rally Poland lead has been cut to 0.5s by the chasing Kalle Rovanperä, who won yet another red-flagged stage at the start of Saturday’s action. Three cars were initially able to pass through Świętajno – Ott Tänak, Takamoto Katsuta and Thierry Neuville – before a red flag for spectator control problems was deployed, the fifth such interruption of the rally so far.

Fifth Poland stage red flagged, Rovanperä closes on lead

The lead fight on Rally Poland has tightened up significantly, as a first stage win of the rally promoted Kalle Rovanperä to first place by only 0.2 seconds. Early rally leader Andreas Mikkelsen had a woeful run through the second pass of Stanczyki. While he’d taken two hards and two softs – a selection that Toyota had shown was the right one thanks to unanticipated high tire wear – the lead Hyundai driver’s decision to fit hards on the front and softs on the rear, rather than a cross-pattern, backfired.

Rovanperä storms into Poland lead, top four 2.4s apart

Spectator control issues are affecting proceedings at Rally Poland, with both stages six and seven affected by red-flag stoppages and the latter canceled entirely. The second pass of the Wieliczki test, which was canceled on Friday morning after only three cars had passed through, was stopped again during its afternoon re-run.

Two Rally Poland stages in a row red flagged

Andreas Mikkelsen holds a narrow lead on Rally Poland ahead of Toyota pair Kalle Rovanperä and Elfyn Evans, with the trio ending Friday covered by only two seconds. Road order dynamics no doubt played a part in Mikkelsen’s Friday success; he was the last Rally1 car bar one, getting the biggest benefit of loose gravel being swept away on Friday morning to build a 7.4s lead.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska.
