The RPI Equipped Rally Team placed 8th at the June, 14 2008 Mountain Rally Trials in Merrit BC! They also placed second in Group 2, raising their VW Golf into third position overall in the Group 2 Western Canadian Rally Championship and fourth overall in the Group 2 Canadian Rally Championship!

Congratulations to our driver and co-driver, Dwane and Michaela, who received top honors for being the fastest Novice drivers and who finished the race after rolling the car!

Pushed across the finishing line by driver and co-driver, the car had experienced a hard roll, knocking out several windows and damaging the body, several broken wheels, broken suspension pieces, blown brake caliper and two fires that gave co-driver Michaela second degree burns to her hands. Finally, within meters of the finish line, then engine gave up.

Video will be posted soon so be sure to check it out, you can see all the photos including some of the damage in the Gallery or Rally pages.
