Brian will be co-driving for the third time in this championship with Thomas Lawless, in a Open class Mitsubishi Evo 4, and are hoping to improve on the last round result of 4th overall. Thomas is based in Maspeth, New York also competes over here in Ireland in a Honda Civic run by James Foley.
Rory will be co-driving for Patrick Lilly, originally from Enniskillen, and is now based in Yonkers, New York. Patrick will be driving a GpN Impreza, which has been recently overhauled for this event. I set this deal up to bring Rory out to the US and hopefully gain some valuable experience of rallying on the other side of the Atlantic, even if he's not in his preferred seat!
The rally will consist of 9 special stages, ranging in length from 1/2
to 23 miles (the LONGEST STAGE in SCCA ProRally), with a total stages
length of 97 miles.
The rally kicks off on Friday 27th and finishes on Saturday 28th.
