RE: ALS RALLY TEAM PRESS RELEASE # 2

FYI

Subaru of Guelph is holding a "WRX test drive event at the dealer
located on HWY#7in Guelph Ont. on Sat. April 27/02.

CKCO TV will be on hand as I understand, as well as the Canadian Subaru
Rally Team and Drivers.

Weenies and Krispy Kreams for all, plus a great opportunity to test
drive the WRX.

I am just helping spread the word for my dealer, as his intent is to
invite all surrounding rally clubs to the event. Great opportunity to
show and shine too.

> It was a tough debut for the Subaru Justy.  "The driving conditions
> were the most challenging I have ever encountered," reports Driver,
> Martin Wilson, "alternating between packed snow, wet snow, sheet ice,
> gravel, mud and sometimes a combination of all these elements.  I was
> extremely relieved to be driving an all wheel drive car."  
> 
>  
> 
> With temperatures at -15C at the start of the rally, the Justy coped
> admirably.  This was the car's first real test in rallying, and both
> Martin and Navigator, Dennis Wende, were very pleased with their
> result.  "Our aim was to finish and pick up championship points in the
> P1 class" says Dennis, "we did this very respectably, coming in 8th
> overall, losing to 7th only by one second".  Being the only P1 car in
> this rally, the team came top of its class, in spite of suffering a
> flat on the last stage and having to change the tire on route.
> "Dennis just picked up the back of the car and I whipped the wheel off
> in no time" joked Martin, "another advantage of a small car".
> 
>  
> 
> After months of work getting the car ready, it was gratifying for the
> team to note that the technical inspector commented in the rally log
> book that the car was "well prepared".  The team will now concentrate
> on making some minor improvements to the car in preparation for the
> two national rallies in Alberta in May.  Look out for an even trustier
> Justy at Big Horn and Rocky.
> 
>  
> 
> The ALS rally team is rallying to raise awareness and funds for the
> Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) Society of B.C.
