USRC: Rally New York—Final Results

The first major off-road rally of 2010 is in the books.

Shockingly there were NO Subie's on the final podium and even in the ice and snow, a 2WD vehicle finished 3rd overall--Hats off to them and well done by the Mitsu's to show that Subies are not the be all and end all of American rally racing...

Tom Lawless and his Evo IX put on a clinic and took the overall win by over three minutes (an eternity in rally), finishing ahead of fellow Evo IX driver Enda McCormack who was an additional 4:42 ahead of third place, Mazda 3 driver Claudiu David.

Also of note is the 5th place overall finish for Justin Carven and his "Greasecar" biodiesel VW and that 17 competitors showed up for this event in just plain miserable conditions. Last years first NY event at a much better time of year (April) drew 32 entries, so this is a solid start to the USRC year...
