The No Alibi Rally

Begins and ends in Kennewick WA using some of the fantastic gravel roads of Eastern Washington. R.Dale's "Guest" Driver for this event will be Lee Sorenson.  Although teaming up in the Stage Rally Pace Car for two events, they have never run a TSD Rally together before, however they have both previously won this event.

 

Completed Events:

The Trail of the Gnu

R.Dale teamed up with old friend Tom Burgess to drive in this winter event. Tom and R.Dale have rallied against each other since the late sixty's but never rallied together. Tom was inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 1998.

After leading the event through seven of the ten TSD sections, a navigation error (turning two pages in the route book instead of one) resulted in a Third place in Unlimited Class.

The Alcan Winter Rally

After leading the Alcan at the end of the eighth day (of nine), the engine on the Forester decided it had had enough fun for one rally and seized up in the parking lot of the hotel.  So it's a DNF for the team of Eklund/kraushaar.
