I was just wondering if anyone is going to Rally New York in Monticello New York this weekend. i will be there crewing on the #779 Somerset Subaru WRX Hybrid (WRX/STi Hybrid vehicle) so come by and say hello if you see us.

if you are interested, here is a website with maps and info for spectating or volunteering. Rally New York. I hope to see some of you there! If you go, enjoy yourself and prepare to get a little dirty!

here's a thread with some pictures of our car Subie

 

good luck Rick, bring me home a trophy!!

 

Little bit of a hike for me, plus i have a rallyx this weekend but have fun! I did go to RallyWV last month and work time controls all weekend. I'll make it up to NY some year :P

 

thanks, christian. hopefully we finish well this weekend; it will definitely be a great learning experience for me.

armitageGVR4- thanks. are you doing the vermont covered bridge rally again this year? if you are, ill see you up there.

alright, im off for the weekend. ill post up the story when i get back.

 

When is it? On of my boxer buddies wanted me to go...

 

the rally went well. a lot of teams DNF'd including our team. The team (Matt Przybysz/ Constantine Mantopoulos) finished friday night 1st in class and second overall behind Seamus Burke/ Eddie Fries and sadly wrecked the car 1st stage (SS 16) saturday morning. the car will be re-built better then before and back out in 2008.

here are the results: http://www.rallynewyork.com/results/details.htm

 

I was there volunteering, didn't catch this thread till now. I don't remember seeing your car run though :<. All my pictures were of dust clouds so I'm looking to get some online in the next few days.

 

thanks a lot for volunteering. you guys did a really great job keeping everything in order.

i serviced this car friday, and sadly there was no car to be serviced saturday:



we got to spectate saturday which was good, but i could tell Matt was feeling bummed about the 16th stage (as any owner would be) and DNF'ing. like i said, she'll back up and running in no time.

 

any more pics of the car/weekend Rick? looks nice.

 

i didnt get to take any pictures from the weekend, but here are some pictures of the car that i took at the garage a while back. as you can see they had a different vinyl scheme before.


fuzzy picture, but you should get the idea:




here are some pictures that i found online of Matt, Constantine, and the car:



here's a website that has more pictures from the event: International Rally New York



***NOTE: the car, sadly, does not look as pretty as it did in these pictures. It has severe front damage and will need a new front clip. Im sure pictures will surface soon on the internet of what it now looks like. We took home a trophy though, so it wasn't a complete loss.***
