ProRallyCodriver in the house

Post by prorallycodriver »

New to forum but not to rally racing.

Have codriven 97 ProRallies and organized or worked at many others. Have won codrivers titles for Canadian National Open and Gr2 classes, the Ontario overall and Open class championships, MaxAttack! Triple Crown Jake Himes cup, Rally America regional gr2 and many SCCA NEDiv championships. Codriven Mazda USA, Honda R&D USA, Toyota of Canada and former Subaru of Canada teams/cars. Also, privateer Mitsubishi, Audi, Suzuki, Ford, VW & Datsun teams.

In-laws have a motorsport shop in Alexandria that specializes in rallycar prep and have run a couple cars themselves.

Occasionally do how-to seminars locally. If anyone is interested in learning rallying, PM me here.

Welcome! What do you do for the Audi dealer? What suspension setups do you use to handle those crazy jumps? When/where are you going to be rallying next?

Katya4me from the local Mazda club?

I push $ around on the computer at the Audi/Porsche/Mercedes/AstonMartin/Smart dealership. I work outta the collision center so if you have a fender bender, PM me for advise for dealing w/ insurance and where to go for repair.

Rally suspensions. Different brands in the different cars but all have long travel, are beefy w/ remote resoviors.

I rally in Canada in 2 weeks in an Open class Subaru.

Great to have you Ninja edit: hear -> here man! The club usually organizes an AutoX class each year, maybe we'll have to work out some sort of Rally class... :twisted:

Yeah, screw FedEx. Oh wait, that is where the Redskins play with themselves. They are already screwed.
Now that my stock suspension is half on, rally class sounds much better than auto-x. Sorry Katie.

next spring I want to get my WRX freshened up (dents, dings and scratches; maybe a trunk re-spray). any suggestions as to where to go? I'd like to have one summer with a nice looking car before she goes all to hell in her "old" age. :lol:
