Rod Hall Racing and Team Miller-Fisher Debut as the Sole US Team in the Rallye Aicha des Gazelles

RENO, Nev., March 13, 2009: Rod Hall Racing marks its first attendance in the 19th edition of the Rallye Aicha des Gazelles on March 14-28th in Morocco. The team will be led by Rod Hall Racing driver Emily Miller and world extreme skiing champion and former Olympian Wendy Fisher. Miller will pilot an Isuzu D-Max and Fisher will serve as navigator.

The official start of the off-road event is on March 14th in Sete, France before transferring across the Mediterranean to Northern Africa. Approximately 119 teams are scheduled to compete in the female-only competition while Team Miller-Fisher is the sole entry from the United States and are committed to a multi-year effort. The rally bans the use of GPS and pace notes forcing competitors to rely on keen, traditional navigation skills. The event is also noted for environmental and humanitarian efforts throughout the race.

Off-road racing legend, Rod Hall, will follow the team for a portion of the event. Hall noted, "We are excited to return overseas to compete. Rod Hall Racing has competed on several continents over the years and I am happy to see Emily gain this valuable experience." Hall has competed in international races including the East African Safari and Paris-Dakar.
