I don't want to steal Alex's thunder, but it's a pretty good story and who knows when he'll post here next.

Betsy ended up on her side after Alex ran into a burm. He crawled out, set up the triangles, and then decided, "I can drive out of this". He fired up the motor and drove it back onto all 4. There was some suspension/steering damage but he limped it through to finish the stage. I think the issue was a bent LCA. A guy with a truck suggested that they try to pull on it to fix it a bit. They chained it up, Alex held the brakes in Betsy while the guy yanked the shit out of it with his truck. Apparently that actually did bend it back by about halfway.

That night, Tom replaced the damaged LCA (I think it was) and the next day, she was as good as new...as far as rallying is concerned.
