Evolutions lead the Rally America Championship

I didn't realize it before I read this article, but Evolutions are dominating the Rally America overall standings right now. We'll see what happens after the Olympus Rally in April, but it's interesting to see the results right now.


http://www.rallybuzz.com/olympus-rally-preview/

Excerpt from Rallybuzz:

"There is a tie for the lead in the Rally America point standings entering the Olympus Rally. Surprisingly, neither is competing in the all-conquering Subarus, but in two different versions of the Mitsubishis EVO.

NOS Energy’s Andrew Comrie-Picard in his Mitsubishi Evolution IX and Rockstar Energy’s Tanner Foust, driving a Libra Racing-built 2009 Mitsubishi Evolution X, are tied at 31 points each.

The two Subaru Rally Team USA drivers, Red Bull’s Travis Pastrana, and Monster Energy’s Ken Block have each emerged victorious in the first two races in the Rally America Championship, but find themselves tied for second place in the standings with 23 points.

Third place in the championship is another tie, just one point back, between Andi Mancin and Bill Bacon, both behind the wheel of Mitsubishi Evos.

Matt Johnson and Dave Mirra, both driving Subaru WRX STIs will be challenged by Piotr Wiktorczyk with his Mitsubishi Evolution. They will battle it out for the win in the new Super Production class."

There's quite a few to go, with only 2 on the season on the boards. Hopefully ACP can stay on top. Pastrana is the 3 time defending champion, so don't prematurely count him out.

Go ACP!! I'm proud to be doing their engine and tuning program. Now if I can talk Andrew into a few new goodies I think we can see another 40-50whp gain.....
