Hey everyone!

Been awhile since I last posted and figured I would update you all on what has been going on.

Since the roll over at Int'l Rally New York I have been sorting out funding for the 2010 season and building a new car. The 02' WRX was destroyed in the roll over and basically needed a complete replacement. The cage was deemed OK by the scrutineers, but the damage to the rest of the car is basically terminal when comparing the cost of repairs vs. building a new car.

Only 12 days before Winter Rally NY, first round of USRC, I secured funding for the new car. I purchased a 1993 Impreza sedan from a freind who already had the car caged and log booked, but needed everything else. New seats and belts were in order from the accident, so I purchased some new RaceTech seats and belts. These are the most comfortable racing seats I have ever sat in! The choice on belts from RaceTech as well was a result of thier booth at the PRI show in December. Full drivetrain consists of a usdm ej205, ver.4 STi trans w/4.44 Final Drive, ver.6 STi RA R180 rear diff assy. The brakes are Subaru 4/2 pot. Various upgrades in suspension arms as well.

As usual we pressed on to get the car done for the Winter Rally NY event and were cut short when it was 3am the day of the race and we were still in the shop working on the car. Quite delerious at this point we decided to call it quits and go support our other four teammates that were already at the event, Matt Gottleib/Austin Gager and Erika Detota/Jason Smith.

Our next event will be Rally New York USA, www.rallynewyork.net One of the only tarmac rally events in the USA. We will be running in AWD class against some of toughest tarmac competitors in the USRC.

Planned events for the 2010 season are as follows:
Rally New York USA, April 16-17
STPR, June 4-5
NEFR, July 15-17
Int'l Rally NY, Sept 10-11
Black River Stage, Sept 18-19

Rally West Virginia and Prescott rallies are a possibility as well, but we haven't committed to either just yet.

We are also eyeing up the European Rally-X events being they are so close to home and should prove to be tons of fun! Stay tuned for more updates on the progress of our car builds and such for these special events.

You also might see me wandering around at 100 AW this weekend and possibly some of the western RA events.

See you next time!
