Houghton, MI, USA: The Moyle Racing team has notched its first National Open Class finish this past weekend in Salem, MO at the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood. The team placed 14th overall and 8th in class. “I’m happy with the results,” said driver Mason Moyle, “We came into this race hoping to just finish and to get the results we did is very satisfying.”
Co-Driver Scott Putnam said, “Toward the end of the rally, Mason was really showing his true potential and learning a lot more about the car. He made monumental improvement this weekend.”
The 100 Acre Wood Rally is the second race of the Rally-America Championship Series. Named after the storybook home of Winnie the Pooh, the rally is picturesque, and features plenty of twists and turns to test any driver’s ability. Set in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, the rally is a favorite for drivers due to its pristine surroundings and fast, tight roads.
“The roads were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before,” quoted Mason, “They were super fast and flowing. It was a really good rally to learn more about the car on.”
The next race comes over a month-and-a-half later in Olympia, WA on April 24th-25th. “We have a lot of cool things happening between now and then, so this month and a half off is going to be perfect.”
When asked what the team has in the works, Mason just smiles and says, “You’ll just have to wait and see.”
