Each video highlights the day long battle as each driver tackles some of
the fastest unpaved rally roads in North America. The Susquehannock
Trail Performance Rally was the first of two rallies to decide the final
X Games positions and provided for some of the most extreme rallying in
a long time.
Lauchlin O'Sullivan, along with his co-driver Scott Putnam, finished
third overall but most importantly won the first of just two qualifying
positions for the upcoming ESPN X Games. After over 130 competitive
miles they crossed the finish line with just minor damage to their CPD
Racing Subaru.
"It's fantastic, that's what we came here to do, everything worked out
properly and we paced ourselves during the night" said O'Sullivan. "It
all worked out, it's incredible."
Matthew Johnson and co-driver Kim DeMotte were in a close fight with
their class competitor Tanner Foust and co-driver Scott Crouch during
the entire day. Both drivers had trouble during the rally and in the end
Matthew came out ahead for the Production GT class win.
"It feels great! This kind of win reminds me of what rallying is all
about." Exclaimed Matthew "It's the never get to bent out of shape...
never give up... never say die... just keep your foot down and do the
best you can and keep pushing as hard as you can and see where you end
up. Because the story is not ever told until the very end."
"That's the crazy thing about rally in general" said Tanner "it's such a
long day, you know one mistake, it can cost you the whole race, the
tiniest little mistake for us cost us two spots."
The completion of STPR marks the forth round out of nine in the Rally
America National Championship. The next event is the Maine Forest Rally
on July 21 - 22 in Rumford, Maine.
