Ojibwe Forests ProRally
THE EVENT
Straight from the state forests of central Minnesota, the Ojibwe Forests ProRally
is Round Seven of the 2004 SCCA ProRally Championship Presented by Hot
Wheels. The United States’ premier rally championship is sanctioned by the
Sports Car Club of America. The Ojibwe Forests ProRally is scheduled to air
via tape-delay on the SPEED Channel Saturday, Sept. 18, at 4:30 p.m. (EDT).
WHAT TO EXPECT
This event seemingly squeezes out every last square inch of the space enclosed
by Minnesota state lines. It’s one of the longest events of the year, with total
mileage distances for competitors (and some die-hard fans!) pushing 400 miles.
That said, watch for competitors to take it as easy as they can early on without
giving up too much position. However, as the stages progress and the stage
miles dwindle, have your cameras ready for the red-line, heart-pounding, sideways action that always comes with an SCCA ProRally Championship event!
ProRally News And Notes
IS THERE A PLACE IN RALLY FOR HANS?
If it isn’t at the forefront of every safety discussion, it’s name inevitably always
®
comes up. The Head-and-Neck-Support device (HANS ) has been a hot topic
for SCCA ProRally competitors for more than a year now, and talk has become
so heated that it was even thought that a rule change might be on the horizon,
making the device mandatory for the ProRally Championship. SCCA
Performance Rally Technical Manager Doug Robinson said that while the
HANS is certainly beneficial and some suggestions might be made in the 2005
rulebook, it’s mandatory usage isn’t something SCCA competitors should necessarily expect any time soon.
“It is unreasonable to expect any changes in the immediate future,” Robinson
said. “Data needs to be reviewed and analyzed. We are looking at as many
aspects regarding safety as we can find. We certainly include the HANS device,
but are open to all other devices that have had some testing done. I don’t see
any change in mandatory items for several years.”

The device has been in use by several competitors (including Ojibwe
driver and co-driver Dennis Martin and Kim DeMotte) in events this
year and has come back with positive results.
“LAUCH”ED IN FOR OJIBWE
It wasn’t too long ago that someone asked what in the world former
Team Mitsubishi driver Lauchlin O’Sullivan was up to. It didn’t take
him long to turn up after that. After appearing in a Road&Track article testing rides and driving ability against hall-of-fame motorcyclist
Larry Roesler, O’Sullivan is back for his second ProRally event of the
year, driving a back-up Subaru Impreza WRX STi owned by fellow
competitor Doug Havir. O’Sullivan did the same thing earlier this
year, when he used one of Havir’s rides to place third at Oregon Trail.
While it isn’t set in stone, the rumor is that Scott Putnam will co-drive
for O’Sullivan as Putnam’s normal partner, Havir, is sitting out this
round while waiting for some performance parts for his own CPD
Racing WRX.
PUTTING ON QUITE A “PRODUCTION”
Mark Tabor and co-driver Kevin Poirier, it appears, aren’t happy
with just going after the Production class title in 2004. Their results
prove it. So far this season, the northwest duo has not only won the
Production class every time they’ve been entered, but they’ve also
gone a step further, edging out current Group 2 leaders Mark Brown
and Ole Holter every time they’ve gone head-to-head (three times).
Should the pair keep their current pace, they very easily could finish
the season in second place in the Jon Woodner Cup standings.
Group 5 driver Doug Shepherd has already locked things up on the
driver side of things in that department, with over 100 points to his
credit. Shepherd’s Mopar Dodge teammate, Pete Gladysz, is back
in action after sitting out last round and leads the co-driver 2WD
standings over Cindy Krolikowski, who is teamed up with husband
Henry for Ojibwe.
LOCAL COLLEGE TEAMS UP WITH SCCA TECH
Students from Northwest Technical College will work alongside
licensed scrutineers from the Sports Car Club of America to see that
each car meets all safety and class compliance regulations at Ojibwe.
Last year’s program earned Ojibwe Forests the highest rating available on its technical inspection. "This venue and the cooperation of
the Technical College students and staff sets a new standard for the
rest of the nation." said SCCA Performance Rally Technical Manager
Doug Robinson.
PGT’S DAVIS IN HUNT FOR CLASS LEAD
While Stephen Verdier bolted out to a lead early in the Production
GT standings with several strong performances in the first half of the
season, veteran Bruce Davis never wavered. He continually finished
high within the class ranks, earning points and remaining within striking distance. Now, with Verdier done this year because of budget
concerns, consistency could pay off for Davis in the form of being the
new class leader should he be able to make it through this weekend.
Davis is back in his familiar Mitsubishi Eclipse after trying out a
Subaru Impreza WRX last event in Maine. While he admitted he was

possibly looking at going with the WRX on a regular basis as early as
next season, the Eclipse is once again the weapon of choice for Davis
this weekend as he does battle against the rest of the PGT field,
including current fourth-place point-sitter Jamie Thomas, who could
climb into the third spot with a good showing.

TOPEKA, Kan. (Aug. 2, 2004) Irishmen Tom Lawless and co-driver
Jason Gillespie picked up their first
ever SCCA ProRally win after veterans Paul Choiniere and co-driver Jeff
Becker were protested and subsequently penalized 10 minutes for an
illegal service on the final day at the
Maine Forest ProRally.

The penalty came after a protest committee heard the complaint issued by
Lawless' camp and determined that
Choiniere's crew performed maintenance on Choiniere's 2003 Hyundai
Tiburon at a scheduled "fuel-stop
only" break. The fuel-only instruction
was listed in the service route books,
which were created by event organizers and given to all competitors.

QUESTION...
After beginning as a TSD event in
1981, what coefficient did Ojibwe
hold until 1986, when it became a
National event?
Lawless moved up from his original
runner-up position to claim the victory
in his 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
Evolution VIII with an overall time of
1:32:53.0. Canadian Andrew ComriePicard slid up to second (1:33:59.1) in
his 1999 Lancer Evolution IV - his
highest finish in an SCCA ProRally
event, and Matt Iorio earned his first
spot on a ProRally podium in his 2001
Subaru Impreza WRX, finishing third
(1:34:17.2).
Jonathan Bottoms and co-driver
Carolyn Bosley took the Group N win.
Bill Bacon and co-driver Peter Watt

Tom Lawless flew over this yump and won his first ProRally.
led for much of the rally, but after
checking out of Saturday's mid-day
service prior to the final three stages,
the pair immediately returned for further repairs on Bacon's 2004 Impreza
WRX STi.
Behind Bottoms/Bosley, who finished
seventh overall, Otis Dimiters and codriver Peter Monin wound up second
in the class and tenth overall, almost
three minutes behind the class winners. David Anton and co-driver
Andrew Coombs earned third in
Group N and 14th overall.
Doug Shepherd dominated the Group
5 class again over the weekend in his
2004 Dodge SRT-4, this time with the
help of four-time co-driving champion
Joe Andreini. Shepherd finished an
impressive sixth overall and blew
away the class competition, finishing
more than 13 minutes ahead of
Group 5 runners-up Mark and Duffy
Bowers, who finished 22nd overall.
It was a perfect beginning to Group 2
driver Eric Burmeister's season as he
broke out his 2003 Mazda Protégé for
the first time this year. With co-driver
Cindy Krolikowski, Burmeister posted
a time of 1:42:39.9, good enough for
15th. Behind him, Robin Jones and
17-year-old co-driver Alex Kihurani
wound up second in Jones' 1983
Volkswagen Rabbit, 25th overall.
Greg Healey and co-driver John
McLeod earned their first Production
GT wins of 2004 over the weekend.
Healey/McLeod turned in a time of
1:46:15.2 in his 1997 Subaru Impreza
which placed the duo 19th overall.

Event Recap:
Hillman, Mich. (Jan. 31, 2004) - Canadian
Group N competitor Patrick Richard bided
his time on Day One, started first on the
road Saturday and then cruised in for the
victory at Sno*Drift, Round One of the
2004 SCCA ProRally Championship.
Ireland's Seamus Burke, with co-driver
Charlie Bradley, held on to second place
for much of Saturday before giving way to
late hard-charger and fellow-Irishman
Shane Mitchell. Mitchell, last year's SCCA
ProRally Group N Champion, turned in the
fastest times over the last three stages with
co-driver Paul Donnelly in Mitchell's 2002
Subaru Impreza WRX in overtaking Burke.
The weekend was a success for Burke
even though he didn't win the event overall
as he placed first in Open class competiton.
The Open class American duo of driver
Dennis Martin and co-driver Kim Demotte
was solid all weekend finishing fourth, and
the husband-and-wife tandem of Henry
and Cindy Krolikowski gave Group N three
of the top five spots with their fifth-place finish.

Event Recap:
Vernonia, Ore. (April 25, 2004) - Pat
Richard showed Group N's Overall
Championship potential at Sno*Drift with
his win in January. This weekend at
Oregon Trail, Round Two of the 2004
SCCA ProRally Championship Presented
by Hot Wheels®, it appeared that Richard
would have to settle for second as
Seamus Burke was up by almost 90 seconds after 14 Special Stages and well on
his way to showing the Open Class'
resolve to remain the top class in the
Championship. But then trouble showed
itself.
With just two Special Stages separating the
Irish duo of Burke and co-driver Charlie
Bradley from their first ProRally win of the
year, Burke's 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
Evolution unexpectedly blew a head gasket and rendered the pair helpless as they
went from their first potential win to their
first DNF instead. Carl Jardevall, with codriver Amity Trowbridge, who briefly held
the lead during the middle stages of the
event, wound up second after Burke's misfortune Sunday and wound up second.
Lauchlin O'Sullivan, with co-driver Jimmy
Brandt, finished third despite problems with
a third gear on SS15 that nearly crashed
the 2001 Subaru Impreza WRX he was
testing over the weekend for fellow driver
Doug Havir.
In the other classes, Stephen Verdier finished seventh overall in his 2002 Subaru
WRX, and cagey veteran Doug Shepherd
found enough tires over the weekend to
claim the Group 5 title.
Brooks Freehill was steady all weekend
long winning Group 2, and Mark Tabor won
Production as the lone entry in the class.
Overall winner: Richard/Richard
Open - O’Sullivan/Brandt

Malik/Trowbridge.
Event Recap:
Leon Styles pleaded with his Mitsubishi
Lancer Evolution VII to hang on. From
Seamus Burke's early break Sunday during the first Super Special of the day all the
way to the next-to-last stage, Styles, who
had never led a ProRally for any length of
time in his career, found himself in the top
spot and stayed there for most of Sunday
afternoon before his car dealt a final blow
as a hose came loose.
Styles repositioned the hose and finished
first in the Open class, but in second position overall as Group N driver Pat Richard,
in his Subaru Impreza WRX, came storming back from more than two minutes
down, despite his own problems, to win by
40 seconds and claim his third straight victory. Ramana Lagemann grabbed his first
podium finish of the year winding up third.
Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian
Edstrom finished fourth, while Stephan
Verdier, with co-driver Allan Walker, was
impressive for the second event in a row,
driving away from a very-competitive
Production GT class and earning his first
top-five finish and second straight PGT
win.
Doug Shepherd, with co-driver Pete
Gladysz overcame a seven-minute deficit
to win Group 5 for the third time this year,
and Craig Hollingsworth, with co-driver
Jason Grahn, captured his first Group 2
win of the season. Mark Tabor, with codriver Kevin Poirier, snared his second
Production win 2004.

Event Recap:
New co-driver? No problem. First time
back in three events? No sweat. That’s
how Irishman Shane Mitchell handled the
weekend en route to his first ever SCCA
ProRally victory as he simply avoided the
attrition and penalty points that handcuffed
most of the Suquehannock Trail ProRally
field.
“The plan was to come here and go for it,”
Mitchell said. “But then [Frank] Sprongl
came along with an open class car and we
were a bit afraid of that. Then Sprongl
went away and when we saw him off, we
knew we were going to get it one way or
another.”
Thomas Lawless, with co-driver Jason
Gillespie, finished second in his 2003
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution with a time of
2:04:16.9, about two-and-a-half minutes
behind
Mitchell’s
2:01:31.0.
Paul
Choiniere
gave
co-driver
Cindy
Krolikowski her first-ever podium finish as
he masterfully controlled the Group 5
Team Mopar Dodge 2004 Dodge SRT-4
for the first time and finished third.
Just one car finished in each the Group 5
(Choiniere), Group 2 (Brian Houart, with
co-driver Eric Heitkamp) and Production
GT (Michael Madden, with co-driver Martin
O’Flynn) classes. In all, more cars were
consumed by the rain-soaked clay roads
(18), than finished the rally (17). STPR will
be shown via tape delay on Speed
Channel at 4 p.m., Saturday, July 17.

Event Recap:
The SCCA ProRally field had just come
down from its first morning run, and crews
were setting up for their mid-day service.
That’s when all hail broke loose.
A summer thunderstorm rolled over the
top of Pikes Peak and dumped heavy rain,
hail and several inches of snow at the
summit, forcing a lengthy delay in the
event and a cancellation of the fifth stage.
Leon Styles and co-driver John Dillon,
upon hearing the cancellation, celebrated
next to Styles’ Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
VII as they claimed their first-ever SCCA
ProRally Championship Presented by Hot
Wheels® victory. The duo beat out second-place finishers Pat and Nathalie
Richard. Andrew Barnes, with co-driver
Ieuan Thomas, finished third in a Hyundai
Tiburon.
Richard finished first and extended his
lead in the FIA Group N class, with the
husband-and-wife tandem of Masayuki
and Takako Akaba finished second in
Group N and 10th overall.
Mopar/Dodge drivers Doug Shepherd and
Paul Choiniere waged a second-straight
classic battle in Group 5, with Choiniere
getting the class win.
Stephan Verdier added another Group 5
win to his season total, topping Todd
Moberly. Mark Brown came in 20th overall,
taking the G2 class win, and Mark Tabor
has all but wrapped up the Roy Donison
Cup after his Production class win this
weekend.
Overall winner: Styles/Dillon

Event Recap:
Irishmen Tom Lawless and co-driver
Jason Gillespie picked up their first ever
SCCA ProRally win after veterans Paul
Choiniere and co-driver Jeff Becker were
protested and subsequently penalized 10
minutes for an illegal service.
Lawless moved up from his original runner-up position to claim the victory.
Canadian Andrew Comrie-Picard slid up to
second and Matt Iorio earned his first spot
on a ProRally podium finishing third.
Jonathan Bottoms and co-driver Carolyn
Bosley took the Group N win. Bill Bacon
and co-driver Peter Watt led for much of
the rally, but after checking out of
Saturday's mid-day service prior to the
final three stages, the pair immediately
returned for further repairs on Bacon's
2004 Impreza WRX STi.
Behind Bottoms/Bosley, Otis Dimiters
and co-driver Peter Monin wound up second in the class, while David Anton and
co-driver Andrew Coombs earned third.
Doug Shepherd dominated the Group 5
class again, this time with the help of fourtime co-driving champion Joe Andreini.
Shepherd/Andreini finished more than 13
minutes ahead of runners-up Mark and
Duffy Bowers.
It was a perfect beginning to Group 2
driver Eric Burmeister's season as he won
in his first event of 2004 with Cindy
Krolikowski, and Greg Healey, with John
McLeod, got his first PGT win also.
Jeff Field, with Mike Hordjik ran a very
respectable rally while taking the
Production class win.

MEDIA CREDENTIAL INFORMATION
SCCA Performance Rally events are covered by all types of media (including print, photo, electronic and online) from both North America and the world. The following information has been devised in order to assist media members in their coverage of Performance Rally either at or away from the event.
OBTAINING CREDENTIALS - Members of the media who wish to cover Performance Rally in person must request credentials from the SCCA National Office. The
Communications Department, in cooperation with local rally organizers, will consider each credential request.
A letter must be submitted on company letterhead by the sports editor or managing editor for print media, or sports director or station manager/producer for electronic media. The letter must contain the media member's name (who wishes to cover the event) and what the actual assignment is.
Requests must be received by the SCCA National Office Communications Department no later than one (1) week prior to the event. Any persons requesting credentials later than this WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ACCESS TO RESTRICTED AREAS. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
ANNUAL PHOTOGRAPHED CREDENTIAL "HARD CARD" ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS - Annual Photo Credentials, or "Hard Cards", are available to members of the media who frequently cover the SCCA ProRally Championship and are designed so that media members who hold the credential only have to sign a
waiver one time and are granted on-stage, unrestricted access for the entire Championship year.
In order to be considered for an annual Photo Credential, all of the aforementioned qualifications must be met in addition to attending a minimum of five (5) SCCA
ProRally Championship events in one season.
Photo Hard Cards are only good for a singular Championship season only. A new application must be submitted each season. The same photo may be used for
the new credential, but a new application must be turned in.
To secure an annual Photo Credential application and official waiver, media members should contact Curtis Kitchen, Public Relations Manager, in the SCCA
Communications Department at (785) 357-7222 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CST/CDT).
To submit a fully-completed application and waiver, send documents to:
SCCA
c/o Curtis Kitchen
P.O. Box 19400
Topeka, KS 66619
Once the application has been received and approved, the media member does not need to sign a waiver at each event for the remainder of the season that the
credential is valid for. However, if the Photo Credential holder is eligible for an on-stage vest, he or she must still sign up for and receive the vest during media registration prior to each event. The vest must be returned upon completion of the event. If the vest is not returned, the signee will be assessed the cost of replacement.
There are three levels of access for media and VIPs: a) Media - On-Stage Unrestricted Access; b) Media - Restricted Access; c) VIP - Restricted Access.
MEDIA - ON STAGE UNRESTRICTED ACCESS
FAILURE TO COMPLY with any of the following may mean immediate expulsion from the event and may inhibit further credentials from being issued to that media
member.
No persons under the age of 18 are eligible for on-stage press credentials.
The media member must be on assignment. No freelance photographers or journalists (print or electronic) will be considered for on-stage access.
Photographers are allowed to request credentials for a maximum of one (1) assistant (see above for credentialing procedures) on-stage. Persons under the age of
18 are not allowed to serve as assistants.
Members of the media who have been granted unrestricted access, but who are not "Hard Card" holders, must sign a waiver during registration periods before each
event. Times of registration will differ with each rally. Credentials will be issued at the time the waiver is signed. PHOTO IDENTIFICATION IS REQUIRED WITH
PICKUP OF ALL TYPES OF CREDENTIALS.
A vest, granting on-stage access to restricted areas, will be issued at time of registration and MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE MEDIA MEMBER IS
ON STAGE. The vest is required to be returned upon completion of the rally and is solely the responsibility of the media member to return it. If the vest is not
returned, the media member will be charged the cost of the vest. NOTE: Vests will be given only to those media whose job performance might be compromised if not allowed access to restricted areas on stage.
While on stage, the media are allowed unrestricted access to all locations. However, if a Marshall or any other event staff determines the media's area selection as
too dangerous, the media are required to move to another lower-risk location.
In summary, the media member must have both an approved credential AND a vest to be allowed into the restricted (non-spectator) portions of the stage. Further,
media are allowed unrestricted access unless an event worker (e.g. marshall, safety control, etc…) asks them to move away from a location.
MEDIA - RESTRICTED ACCESS
For members of the media who meet the previously outlined conditions and wish to cover the event but do not request credentials before the one-week deadline, a
pass may still be obtained at the event. This pass will allow for access to the parc exposes, pre and post rally gatherings, service areas, competitors (for interviews,
etc…). However, ON-STAGE ACCESS WILL BE LIMITED TO SPECTATOR AREAS ONLY.
No vest is required for this pass.
VIP RESTRICTED ACCESS - VIP requests should be handled through an official representative of the organization, business, group, etc… of which the VIP is a
part.
This pass will allow for access to the parc exposes, pre and post rally gatherings, service areas, competitors (for interviews, etc…). However, ON-STAGE ACCESS
WILL BE LIMITED TO SPECTATOR AREAS ONLY unless prior plans have been submitted to and approved by an SCCA National Office official.
Credentials should be requested no later than one week prior to the scheduled event date and can be requested by calling Curtis Kitchen, SCCA, Inc., Public
Relations Manager, at (785) 357-7222, fax on official letterhead - FAX: (785) 232-7228 - or mail to the address listed above.
MEDIA/VIP PARKING AT EVENTS - Some rallies have a media area for parking at staging areas and most local organizers will provide parking passes for media
members for those designated areas. However, this does not guarantee a parking spot. Availability of these areas is contingent upon the number of press in attendance, available space, etc.
Further, some parking areas may not be close to the actual spectator areas or other viable viewing points.
