NWRegion/Western
States Rally Championship -
Doo Wop Rally - For Immediate
Release -
March 6, 2006
Driver Jamie Thomas
along with navigator Matt Gauger started their 2006 season off right
by winning their class at the Doo Wops Rally day 2 which allowed
them to secure their 2005 Western States Rally Championship. The
much needed points allow the team to retain their championship from
2004, back to back PGT Class Championships!
The Doo Wops Rally
is held on the northern coast of rugged Washington states. The
terrain varied this year from compact snow to ice, mud, tarmac and
everything in between. This is the first rally of the season
for the team and is always a great way to kick off the cobwebs and
get the rally ball rolling as the rally is simply so challenging.
Survive day one of the event, you make it to day two with the famed
"Brooklyn Tavern Stage" - a fantastic section of road which flows
through the hills and allows rally drivers to understand just why
they love this sport so much. Jamie and Matt completed both
days, earning 2nd place on day one and 1st place on day 2 with a 4th
overall finish for the weekend (out of approx 45 competitors).
"These roads are
tough, but they can be great fun and are the perfect way to start
off the year." stated Jamie Thomas, team owner/driver, "My biggest
battle of the weekend was shaking off the nerves. I have not raced
since September of 2005 and I was a bit hesitant to go out there and
give 110%. It took a few stages for me to have total
confidence again, but everything seemed to just flow all weekend
long."
"Jamie was on fire.
Sometimes she just doesn't believe that she can drive," laughed Matt
Gauger, team co-driver, "She set a fastest stage time on day two,
with bad tires.... you should see what she could do with new tires."
Burnsie the Rally
Wagon performed very well thanks to his newfound skid plate from
AllWheelsDriven . The
team ran on old, used tires, but still set blazingly fast stage
times and the car performed just as expected. This is just the
beginning... much more racing to come in 2006.
