Alltrac Finishes well Sno*Drift

[Jvimpty]

Eric Langbein and Jeremy Wimpey(JMU Grad Student) competed in the first round of the Rally America National Championship in Atlanta, MI on Jan 28-29. After 2 days of competition they finshed 11th overall and 2nd in class (PGT). On the way they set several very fast times on stages, (one 3rd fastest stage Overall and two 5th fastest O'all stages)

The Team campaigns a 1988 Celica AllTrac (named Angelica). Pittsburg based Langbein got a chance to practice some snow driving at Beaver Run on the way to the event.

A driving mistake on SS8 lost the team 9 minutes, as they waited to be pulled from a snow bank by fellow competitors.

Winning the class was the team of Tanner/Faust in a Subaru WRX.

The team hopes to continue competing the National Series throughout the 2005 Season. The next RA event is in Oregon, followed with 6 more rallies in Maine, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, 2 in Colorado, and the finale in MI.
