Jari-Matti Latvala was on his way to a repeat of his win on Wales Rally GB of last year and his teammate, and initial rally leader, Petter Solberg was in second place. On the final day however the Citroens, who had been woefully slow until then, found their form and Sebastien Loeb was abte to pass Solberg into second place. Nothing however could deny Latvala the seventh vic-tory of his WRC career which had begun on this event ten years ago. 27 year old Latvala sprung into unbeatable form on the first morning when the Citroen struggled to find grip in the slippery conditions. Quite the reverse of form. Craig Breen came comfortably home in the SWRC support category but only after Yazeed Al Rajhi, who was very slightly ahead, was penalised five min-utes for a double speeding offence. It was a remarkable event in which every starter (albeit· only 31 crews) were still running on the final day until three stages before the finish. The event however was boycotted by privateer drivers, on which the popularity of the event was based. The un-fortunate change in date and the insistence on an extended route format forced the priva-teers away. It made the event an unwelcome challenge even for champiqnship teams, even if the delight of the popular Welsh forest stages remained. Citroen left Britain assured that either Loeb or Hirvonen would win the Drivers' title but the Manufacturer's title could not be claimed for the moment. Wales Rally GB was round 10 of the 2012 World Rally Championship, a qualifying round for the SWRC and the penultimate all-gravel round of the season. Four drivers were still eligible for the Driver's title going into the event, the two Citroen drivers Sebastien Loeb and Mikko Hirvonen, the Ford team driver Petter Solberg and amazingly the privateer Ford driver Mads Ostberg, despite missing two of the preceding nine events this year. Although already far ahead of his rivals even if Loeb came away with a maximum points score and his nearest rival did not score, he would still be short of the title by two points but with the hope of securing the title on the next round, and his home event. The title hopes of Ford's other team driver 27 year old Jari Matti Latvala, whose WRC career began at this ·rally ten years ago, ended at Rallye Deutschland. The event followed basically a similar format to last year, being promotionally styled to suit the interests of the event's sponsor, the Wels.h tourism au-thorities. This year, however, the only ac_tivity in the north of the Principality was the night time ceremonial start at Llandudno, which entailed considerable non-competitive travelling for the crews. The epicentre of the event was Car-diff in the south, some 400km away by the recommended route. The Qualifying Stage was held some 90km inland from Cardiff, two days before the first special stage. All the forest stages, in central and south central Wales were fa, miliar, but there was a strange 3km asphalt stage run in the grounds of Celtic Manor re-sort, near Newport, in the ear-ly evening Saturday. The main change was the date for the ral-ly, reverting this year to a Sep-tember dat~ which caused a lot of knock-on consequences, not only to the entry level but also to climatic factors. This year the final morning stages Sebastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia finished 12th overall in Wales, they're seen here getting ready for a fast hard landing. were held in the South Wales forests between Cardiff and Swansea, including Walters's Arena, after absence from that region last year. Whereas the top level entry was as strong as ever, the main news factor was the appall-ingly small total entry list, with only 31 crews signed up to take part, and with no pri-vate British competitors at all. A further 41 club competitors had entered a three day paral-lel national event which used the same stages once rather than twice, and the total field was bolstered by six en.tries driving Land Rovers. The low number of entries for the WRC event was a tragic situation for this classic fix-ture, which had been held as a championship qualifying event every year since the World series started in 197 3, and this year celebrated 80 years since the event was first run. It attracted less than half the number of WRCar entries to last year. Date clashes with both the IRC (with the Yalta Rally in Ukraine) and the APRC (with the Hokkaido Rally in Japan) did not help. This was the period in the run-up to the end of the sea-son when remaining car and · component allocations come to the fore. For this reason the Mini Portugal team car driven by Chris Atkinson was an original 0lA version, so there were be no 0lB Minis on this event. Main chal-lenge for the teams was the· extreme logistics demanded by the format, one team say-ing it was more difficult than the Monte Carlo Rally. The tyre situation had changed following a rule change by the FIA. No longer must the alternative comp"ound tyre only be available in severely restricted quantities, the top crews all had 30 soft and 22 hard tyres available to choose from. The correct tyre choices for the long Day 1 (146km, 45% of the competitive route) was tricky, especially because the decision had to be made 15 HOURS before the first stage was run. Cars being in pare ferme after the cer-emonial start in Llandudno the evening before wlth no service opportunity until re-mote service midday Friday.>> Originally the running order selection was to be declared after the Qualifying Stage on the Wednesday, but following requests by the teams the selec-tion process was deferred until the Ceremonial start itself the next day. Matthew Wilson made his return to the WRC scene hav-ing missed rallies since Febru-ary, as a result of a foot injury and then the collapse of the Go Fast rally team. Evgeniy Novikov came with a new co-driver, this time Ilka Minor, in the place the still-injured Denis Giraudet, and there was a welcome return to WRC ral-lying for the six times South · African champion Jan Habig, a veteran who celebrated his 53rd birthday on Day 1 of the event. Robbie Durant, the regular codriver for Harry Hunt, was his codriver. The top SWRC news sur-rounded the strategy changes of the Proton team, following the engine failure of Hayden Paddon's Skoda in Finland. Suddenly the Proton driver PG Andersson had found himself six points ahead of Paddon, and unexpectedly the vista of a title had appeared on the hori-zon. Andersson's programme had now been moved away from the Asia Pacific series. Proton guest driver Juha Salo was offered a drive on the two final rounds of the APRC, the event in Japan and then in China, instead of a single re-maining drive in Britain. The second Proton seat went to Petter Solberg and Chris Patterson flew their Ford Fiesta RS to a third Chris Atkinson and Stephane Prevot drove their Mini to an 11th overall Evgeniy Novikov and Ilka Minor drove their Ford Fiesta RS to a sixth place place overall finish in Wales, seen here ready for an off balance landing. finish in the Wales Rally, seen here out of a left hander at high speed. overall in Wales, they're seen here fording a water crossing.

r Sebastien Loeb and Daniel Elena finished second overall in Wales, they are seen here flying low in their Citroen 0S3. the British importers' driver Tom Cave. Having expected to be absent at the IRC event in Ukraine meant that Skoda UK driver Andreas Mikkelsen and Kevin Abbring came back again as the Y.W teammate to Sebastien Ogier instead. Curiosity factors included Edoardo Bresolin's entry in an Fiesta RRC. This was the same car he ran in Finland and the same car driven to victory on the 2011 Rally GB by Latvala as a World Rally Car. Another famous car was Alastair Fisher's 2-litre Fiesta chassis 2, Ford's first produc-tion S2000 which won the 2010 Monte Carlo Rally with Hirvonen. Fisher competed as a Guest entry in the SWRC category. Biggest surprise was the appearance, in apparent pristine condition, of Craig Breen's Fiesta S2000, hastily rebuilt after his spectacular four-times end-over-end ac-cident in Finland. The team confirmed that the roll cage was virtually unmarked, more than could be said for Craig's crash helmet! Saddest feature of the rally was the privateer scene. There · were only eight crews on the event who were non cham-pionship entries or run by a factory, and of these only one entry typified the traditional clubman spirit that made the event so popular in earlier years. This was the Belgian driver Renaud Bronkart who won his class in a Toyota Yaris on the recent Neste Oil Rally Finland and had come to Brit-ain in the hope of gaining more success. And as for local interest, Proton driver Tom Cave was the only Welsh resi-dent driver on the event. Competitors came back from recce reporting that con-ditions were generally damp and presumed it would stay that way. The weather forecast was for some rain on QS day and then it should dry out to some extent during the event. There was a moment of excite-ment when the works Fords of Petter Solberg and Jari-Matti Latvala were fastest in "free practice" with the works Citroens of Sebastien Loeb and Mikko Hirvonen split by the private Ford of Mads Ostberg. On the QS however Loeb was back again in force but only by half a tenth of a second (0.051s) from Sol-berg while Citroens took third place, with Hirvonen 6-thou-sands o f a second (0.006s) ahead of N euville. Once the Dusty Times excitement was over, the cars were driven back to Cardiff and put into pare ferme, ready for the long trip north for the ceremonial start at the other end of the country, where 29 hours later the crews would announce their running order for the long Day 1. On the Wednesday evening the main interest was the dec-laration of the winner of this year's Michael Park award, which went to Stephane Pre-vot who proudly walked into the Ford hospitality unit in his Mini clothing, but there was nothing but accord at the choice. On Thursday evening the running order selection decisions were made at the ceremonial ~tart at Llandud-no. First nomination went to Sebastien Loeb who chose third slot, followed by Petter Solberg who asked for fourth, Mikko Hirvonen who went to second, Thierry Neuville went for first car ~n the road, and tenth choice went to Evgeniy Novikov who was happy to find the last ( 14th) position still available, "I don't like getting up too early!" Loeb confirmed that he had been a little lucky at QS to get through before the rain really started, though generally the conditions did not change very much. Day 1 All 31 crews started Friday from Llandudno for three stage venues in mid Wales used twice. There was slight rain at Dyfnant for the first stage but the wind on the hills was getting up and except under the trees the wet sur-faces were dying out. Thierry Neuville said he didn't know if choosing slot 1 was right or wrong, but it was all good experience. Petter Solberg started off with a vengeance to lead after the first two stag~s. Thierry Neuville was lacking self confidence and was lying eighth. On the first s~age Ott Tanak had a power steering problem while Martin Prokop lost top gear forcing him to drive on the rev limiter more than he would have wished. Chris Atkinson was going carefully on his first event in an old 0lA Mini while Jan Habig was finding his feet as was Matthew Wilson, on his first event since Monte Carlo. Mads Ostberg eased his pace on stage 2 thinking, wrongly, that he had a punc-ture and was pushing hard but come the third stage h e was struggling with old pacenotes Yazeed Al Rajhi and Michael O" flash by a large crowd in Wales, they are seen here in flight on their way to a 16th place overall in their Ford Fiesta 1.6. prepared under his previous system. Jari-Matti Latvala was a little nervous on stage 2 af-ter he hit a log pile and which pulled a tyre off the rim and caused a big vibration but he was in fine form on stage 3 where he jumped from fourth to take the lead from his team-mate. Latvala, "Myherin is really my favourite stage. I wish we had more stages just like that!" At Citroen Mikko Hirvonen was in serious trou-ble and not showing his true form, "I don't think we can stay on the road if we went any faster," and was unsettled in fifth place. There was no full service during the day only the Re-mote Service opportunity at the regroup held at Newtown after the first run through the loop. Latvala was on a charge in the afternoon as the rally made a rerun of the three morning stages. The surfaces of the stages were"how much drier than in the morning except for the patches under the trees. Like in the morning there were tyre. questions, hard or soft, and whether to take one spare or two. The Citroen drivers spread their options, taking two spares their cars _lost ultimate performance but had the capability to adjust to unexpected conditions. Fords went again on soft tyres and with just one spare. Tanak was still struggling -there was no time to repair his steering. Atkinson had adjustments made to his Mini to improve the balance, but he admitted the car was still a long way off the pace of the leaders. At the end of the day his time was to-wards two seconds a kilometre slower. Nobre's Mini had an ignition problem and needed pushing to restart the engine every time. Loeb was pushing hard but to no avail against the Fords. On stage 5 he dropped back behind Solberg, so Fords were now 1-2. The shock was Hirvonen, who was still disappointing. He said he had no grip at the front and the tyres were wearing badly. Sebastien Ogier started off easily the fastest of the S2000 cars, redeeming his embarrass-ing accident on the opening day of last year's rally. Hayden Paddon led the SWRC after stage 1 but he then stopped with an electrical problem for 11 minutes on stage 2, which let Craig Breen up into a lead of 9 .9 seconds fro m Alistair Fisher, who o n st age 3 then st opped with broke n front October 2012 suspension. Meanwhile PG Andersson was in trouble. He was lying second after the first stage but then had <a punc-ture and pulled a wheel off his Proton on stage 2>. He got to the end of the stage but then stopped for the day. Yazeed Al Rajhi moved up in to sec-ond place in his turbo Fiesta and lying third now was Tom· Cave. Maciej Oleksowicz had a troubled morning with a bent steering arm and then a rear puncture in stage 3. Paddon dropped to last of the five cars still running but with the add-ed problem of no second gear. So Breen found himself over 40 seconds ahead after three stages despite handling dif-ficulties turning-into corners. Non championship driver Karl Kruuda (Fiesta) had to re-vert to manual gearshift while the Belgian privateer Rena).ld Bronkart was making up for the bad luck of last year when he ended up with a punctured fuel tank. On the first of the afternoon stages both Paddon and Kruuda stopped for the day, Paddon when his earlier electrical problem recurred, so four cars were left: Breen, Al Rajhi, Cave and Olekso-wicz and then Al Rajhi spun but still held on to his sec-. ond place.> Ogier was fastest S2000 driver on every stage in Class 2 during the day while Abbring was close behind Breen's SWRC leading car. Nothing could spoil the day for Latvala, "I couldn't be happier. My car was set up hard. It is great to drive. I haven't been so happy for a long time." Stage 1 Tee, the of-ficial rally timing company, in-troduced a novel system high-lighting the fastest driver on each split stage section. There had been 36 sections within the six stages of the day. Ford drivers scored fastest time on 31 of them, Citroen drivers only five. Of the 31 entries that took the start at the be-ginning of the day there were five not running by the eve-ning. In additio n to Fisher, Andersson and Paddon the rally was without Kruuda and the Swiss driver Michael Bur-ri who stopped with broken transmissio n . Class leaders were Latvala, O gier, Mathieu Arzen o in Class 5 with the Citroen , Lo renzo Bertelli in Class 3 with the Subaru and over ten minutes behind every-one else, Renaud Bronkart in Class 10 with the Yaris. Day 2 All the crews restarted. Ott Tanak's steering problem had been fixed and Martin Pro-kop was back with six-speed transmission again. It was the Eppynt day using a group of three stages in the Brecon Beacons area, a mixture of forest and military complex roads. Although each venue was all-gravel the conditions varied a lot. On the opening forest stage there was fog and with extremely slippery condi-tions, which led to Mads O st-berg gaining his first scratch time on a gravel road stage since Greece in 2009! Neu-ville had splits in the body shell of his DS3 which let mud in the cockpit. Mikko Hirvonen found his Citroen was virtually uncontrollable in the conditions while Loeb was only a little less unhappy. Fords made the top four best times on the stage! The next stage (8) was the same hilltop location as where the Power Stage was held last year, and it was just as slippery, it was very hard based covered by gravel, which made judging brak-ing points very tricky. Loeb scored his first scratch time of the event but Jan Habig went off the road, the only driver not to reach the midday halt. Chris Atkinson was getting happier with improvements to his Mini's brakes. Stage 9 was a mixture of forest road in the Halfway Forest joined with open tracks on the Eppynt military ranges, the fog was coming and going but there was better grip, much to the relief of Hirvonen. The top drivers had been relying on soft tyres again, though Loeb had two hards as spares which he did not use. Loeb: "It was so slippery in the wet patches Centinued 1n page 16 Page 15

HDRA FRGNTEIR 500 Larry Ragland Wins A Tough one By Jean Calvin Photos: Track.side Photo In a sparkling performance Larry Ragland led most of the distance and at the flag in his Chaparral, winning Class 1 and overall in so swift a time he was only 13 seconds behind the winning bike.

Friday morning began th~ 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. contingency and tech inspe·ction ritual around the front parking lot of the Frontier Hotel. A goodly group of contingency donors set up shop on streetside, which unfor-tunatelyhad been newly planted with grass and flowers;· most of the new foilage did not survive the day. For unknown reasons the entry sank again this year, dropping to 145 starting cars, and with the bike and 3 Wheel entry, the grand total starting group numbered 189. While the tech time was far too long for the size of the entry, most of the activity was over by dark, Ivan Stewart campaigned the Toyota pickup in Class 1 and teh Iron Man got the job done, taking second in class and overall among the cars. Making it one and three for Arizona and Chaparral, Larry Noel and Tim Kennedy got to Dayton third in Class 1, a keen eighth overall. and most of the contingency folks folded their tents and went inside to sample some of the unique entertainment in Las Vegas. The mid October date for the 1984 Frontier 500 brought fair weather, not too hot on race day, but, in the southern part of · the course there was no wind either. The thick silty dust hung over the sqft and rocky trails, causing an absolute epidemic of flat tires on all brands. The bikes left Sloan at first light, and promptly at 8 a.m. the first Class 1 car, Alan Hanks in a Bunderson, was waved away. There was some flap about the pair of Toyota trucks· in Class 1 carrying riders in the parade, intending to do the same for the race, and more of that will be discussed later. Suffice to' say that Ivan Stewart had his son debark from the truck and took off alone, fifth off the line.

Attrition took its· toll early here, especially in some of the more stock classes, and a fair number of competi-tors failed to get that far on the 476 mile course.

Times Despite a rash of flat tires Jim Sumners, with Craig Renfro riding, did well in Class 2, his Raceco placing a strong second, fourth overall. two hours behind fifth place. Second off the line, Class 2 was big at 23 starters, and most of the heavy hitters in desert racing were on tap. The first two seater through Check 1 was the amazingly fast Mazda rotary powered Raceco of Dave Lewis and Dave Simpson. Then came Len Newman/Mike Gaughan, followed by Tom Morris, Toyo-ta, Mark McMillin, Jimco, Bill Hrynko, Chenowth, and Ed Martensen, Raceco, all in the same dust cloud. Just a minute later came the Cam Thieriot/ Greg Lewin Funco, then Jim and Billy Wright, Raceco, and Russ Welch/Roger Mortenson, BPA Ii.I Raceco all in a tight clump. Then along came Jim Sumners, whose Raceco had already had the first of five flats on the course. Out here with trans trouble was Gregg Symonds, who placed third last year. Ed and Jody Martensen were first through Check 3, but at Beatty Jim Wright was first on the road, followed by Newman, Martensen, Thieriot and McMil-lin, all five spread less than two minutes apart on the road. The tight contest raged on in Class 2, and at Tonopah the Wrights were not only first on the road but on time. Still in tight forma-tion came McMillin, Sumners, Newman and Welch. The order held through Gabbs except that Welch/Mortenson got ahead of Newman/Gaughan on the road. The Wrights opened a decent lead at Check 8, only 53 miles from touchdown. The Wright's Raceco had no real problems and the son and father team flew into Dayton to win their second Class 2 title on the Frontier 500 by a com-fortable 29 minutes. The New-man/Gaughan Bunderson van-ished into the night, the Welch/ Mortenson Raceco ran out of gas and lost well over an hour, and Mark and Corky McMillin came to serious grief and lost a good four hours out of Gabbs. While Jim and Billy Wright celebrated their victory and third overall in standings, Jim Sumners/Craig Renfro arrived to take second in Class 2, fourth ov1rall in their Raceco. Tom Morris and Frank Arciero, Jr. were next, another 20 minutes back in the Toyota truck, fol-lowed in 12 minutes by Cam Thieriot and Greg Lewin, anq ten Class 2s finished within the 20 hours time allowance. When the results were post-ed, showing the Toyota in third, Cam Thieriot filed a protest on the grounds that the Toyota wore a Class 1 number, 117, and it should be tossed out of third.

Larry Bolin did a fantastic job in his Raceco, coming from behind, ·overcoming problems, and winning Class 10 alone, and he was sixth overall. JOhn and Rick Hagle were third in Class 10 by just 48 seconds in what is probably the best looking body ever placed on a Raceco. Cam said he saw the Toyota pass while he was in his pit in north-ern Nevada, and he paid no attention, since it obviously was not in Class 2. There was much ado, and at the awards it appeared that the officials awarded a third place tJe be-tween the Morris and Thieriot entries. But, the official results list the cars as they finished. So nothing much was settled on the spot. Rounding out Class 2, An-thony Van Zeyl and Bob Veltri took fifth in their Raceco, fol-lowed home by the Racecos of Don and Matt McBride plus Ed and Tim Herbst, who had to replace the steering before the first check.

Com-ing up from the last starting po-sition, Larry Bolin was running quickly, doing the solo act in his new Raceco, and several others with high numbers looked good also. _ By Gabbs Bolin was second on the road only to Bill Her-rick/Tim McDonnell, and he had the lead on time. Yates was next into the check and the pack was still fairly tight. Herrick just led Bolin physically into Check 8, but somewhere on the final miles he had big trouble. Bolin had problems too, out of brakes sfnce Gabbs, and the generator quit so he was running off the battery, using one dim light and a hand held flashlight. Larry had not pre-run the last part of the course either. But he drove alone to the Class 10 victory, by a bunch, and a fast sixth overall, even with the problems. It is a fine example of pressing on re-gardless, by a tough competitor from Newberry Springs, CA. Running well all day into the night, the California team of Steve Tetrick and Fred Ronn nailed down second in Class 10, about 20 minutes behind the winner. Tetrick's ORE was a skinny 48 seconds ahead of John and Rick Hagle, also Cali-fornians, in their zoomy looking new Raceco. The Hagles were merely 36 seconds ahead of Bill Herrick and Tim McDonnell.

Scott brought the Raceco through the dark in good time, another 17 minutes back, and he is a very plucky young man. Jon Block and Ron Cornell drove an older Hi Jumper home tenth, followed by Marty Reider/Jeff Hibbard, Raceco, and Michael Sherman/ David Rameriz, Chenowth. Last, but not that far back, were Daryl Mead and Butch Darling who had all sorts of woes en route. Another large class with 19 starters was 1-2-1600. It was a tightpack at the first check, with the eleventh starter, the Bunder-son of Jack and Jerry Ramsay second on the road, closely tailed by fellow Nevada racers Terry and Tim Bell, Bunderson. Looking good here too was the Friskowth of RicB.ard Goldbaum and Jim Dyer, the last to start and the eighth one through the check. At Check 3 the Bells were first on the road with the Ram-says a couple minutes back, followed by Goldbaum/Dyer on the road, and Dan Bradley/ Bill Stokes.

Heading north in the night, information is sketchy, but Terry and Tim Bell maintained their lead on the road all the way to the finish line. They won the class and we·re ninth overall. Terry, from Las Vegas, and, Tim, from Reno, said the victory was nice, the race tough, and the home state win meant a lot to their whole fam-ily. Just over ten minutes behind on time, Jack and Jerry Ramsay were a close second on time. Almost 1 1/2 hours back, the California team of Jim Zupanov-ich and John Lind brought their ORC in third, only five minutes ahead of Michael Stokely, who had only six minutes on Ward and Jeffers. Malcolm Vinje and Marie Hansen solidified their overall HORA points lead by being the first and the only finisher in the Class 5 wars. It a stunning repeat victory, Walker Evans led from flag to flag in Class 8 with Dodge honcho Dick Maxwell enjoying the ride to Dayton.

They all got the car right side up, but all the gas had run out. Another S.O.S. to the finish line brought some motorcycle gas, and Dyer sputtered on to the· finish, came in nth, and was still nearly four hours ahead of George Gowland and Curtis Houghton. They took 19 hours and 20 minutes on course, and they were the last official finisher number 63 in the standings. The. expected wars in the wa-ter pumper classes really did not come to pass this year. Most of the winners led their class from the first check. In Class 8 Walker Evans and Dick Maxwell had the Dodge well up in the ranks in fif-ty miles, and despite flat tires in the rocky silt beds, Evans drove hard and fast to win the ten truck class, leading all the way; it was his second Frontier 500 victory. At Check 3 Walker had Las Vegans Norm Shaw and Manny Cortz clawed their way up to second among the 13 5-l600s, and finished iecond in the close contest. Leading at one time, shifter problems dropped the Bug of Dan Naylor and Max Razo to third at the flag in 5-1600-,and they were happy to finish. It was a popular victory in Class 7 S as Willie Valdez drove hard all the way to win over a dozen starters by literally hours.

Both Mark Hooper/Dean Koutzou-kis, Ford, and Robin Tulleners/ Noah Sanchez, Ford, passed the point with good times. The same group passed To-nopah in formation, and the GMC of Steve Kelly and Michael Nesmith was down and out with overheat problems. Gilbert's Ford was reported .to have rear end failure, but it was fixed enough to finish a strong sec-ond, about 49 minutes behind Evans and nearly three hours ahead of Tulleners and Sanchez. Another hour and a half back, the fourth and final truck finish-er on the tough course was Bill Howard's Chevy. Walker Evans said the first part of the race was so rocky that he didn't just have flat tires, he tore the wheels off the Dodge. It is a good insight into how rugged the race course really.,was &dm a driver who has seen them all ,and won them all. Class 4 played out according to script also. Starting fifth, Rod Hall and Jim Fricker had the Dodge in the. lead on the road at the first check, a few minutes ahead of John and Mike Ran-dall, Jeep Honcho. By Check 3 Hall had established a good lead, and nearly half the field was either out or well down on time. The Randalls had replaced a broken water radiator near Check 2, and later they worked on a cracked trans housing, which damaged the Quadra-Trac. They carried on in two wheel drive. The Jeep Honcho of Vern Roberts and Bill Dono-hoe also had various problems, but they struggled on north and finished second, over three hours behind Rod Hall's winning Dodge. Hall be-came ·one of just two three time winners of the Frontier 500. The Randalls kept patching up the Jeep and came in third, and Don McCormack brought his Dodge in fourth, the final Class 4 finisher. Only four started in Class 3, the short WB 4 x 4 Class 3, and only two made it the first 50 miles in good time, both driven by members of the over 50 club. There Glen Emery and Carl Cook had the lead, but they were des-tined not to finish the race. Driv-Starting out slow with breakage, Larry Schwacofer and Sid Spradling put the old Chevy in drive and cruised into Dayton the Class 6 winners. Kelly McDonough and her brother Dave did a terrific job in the Class 9 Funco, and the young Las Vegas team won the class honors. October 2012 ing a modified Jeepster, Marshall Mahr and his son Michael drove a good pace to finish in 15:48 elasped time, the big winners and the only Class 3 finisher. There was also a quartet of st arters in Class 6, and the Jim Madison/Mick Newto n Chevy Nova was a clear lead-er at the first check. Favorite Larry Scl:iwacofer was down near Goodsprings with tie rod trouble. There was no report on the Bill McDonnald/ Dave Federwisch Maverick. The O lds Omega rally car of Guy Light, from Michigan , did not make it through the silt to the first check, and that would have been a good bet. The Madison Chevy vanished from the charts later on. Larry Schwacofer and Sid Spradling won another Class 6 title,going all the way to Dayton in just over 16 hours. Only three were on the line to contest the Class 7 honors. At Check 1 Mario Alesi came through first, about ten minutes ahead of Manny Esquerra. But, Alesi's Nissan apparently stuck in gear at the checkpoint stop, and it had to be pushed, to his pit. Reportedly, the Nissan got rolling again, then had front end troubles at Check 3, got fixed again, but did retire later in the game. Meanwhile Manny and Tudy Esguerra set a hot pace in the Ford Ranger, had no serious trouble and rolled into Dayton in a quick 12:50, the winner for the third year running in Class 7, and· they were a quick 25th overall, really impressive on the tough course that is tougher for the late start-ing classes. , The dozen starters in Class 7S dwindled away quickly-in-the first legs. Well ahead of the pack after 51 miles was Willie Valc, dez in his freshly painted Ford Ranger. His major competition, Spencer Low/ Paul Delang, Nis-san, was reportedly stuck in the silt, but they did get rolling after an hour down time. Tom Peltier and Bob Klingenberg got the 2 WD Jeep CJ 8 through Check 1 in good time, but faded from the scene later on. While most of the field was out by nightfall, a hot race de-veloped between Valdez. and Low. Low closed the gap to the front runner to just 23 minutes at Gabbs. But, on the way to the checkered flag, Low rolled the Nissan,-and did a lot of body damage. The crew found the truck, but they had to cut the top of the cab off to make the truck road worthy. Meanwhile, Willie Valdez was in Dayton, the Class 7S winner in a firretime of 15:47. Low got rolling, probably a little sideways, but he finished s-econd and last in class, with about 20 minutes left on the time allowance. Class_ 5 has shrunk to nearly nothing, with only four starters at Sloan. At the first check Mal-colm Vinje/Mark Hansen had a couple of minutes on Byron and Jo Smith, and the other two were well back in the silt. The Smith Bug retired at Tonopah, and Vinje and Hansen rolled on to not only win Class 5, the only finisher, but they took 20th overall on time, and also consolidated their overall points lead in the HDRA Desert Series. The 5-i600s came out strong for the Frontier 500 with a Dusty Times

gaggle of 13 on the line, most of them strong competitors. For sure they came through the first check in a single dust cloud, or so it seemed. Leading the pack here on the road was the first starter, Mike Lesle, next came Bob Knight/LeRoy Hansen, Lar-ry and Jim Dunn, and Dan Nay-lor/Max Razo, all close enough to touch each other. A few min-utes back, mixed up with the 3 Wheelers, who started after the cars, came Rich Fersch, Norm Shaw/Manny Cortez, Todd and Tom Craig, and Don French/ Don Smith. The class win was going to be anyone's game. At Check 3, Lathrop Wells, just over 100 miles into the race, the last starter, Larry Dunn, was first on the road in the lead, followed by Knight/Hansen, Naylor/Razo, the Craigs and Fersch, with only 12 minutes between them all. At Beatty, Dan Naylor/Max Razo were first on the road, apparently leading on time as well, with a couple of minutes in hand over the Dunns, who had a few minutes on the Craigs, and Knight/ Han-sen were about five minutes back, while Fersch had fallen about 15 minutes off the pace. On to Tonopah, and now Knight/Hansen were first on the road and on time, the Dunns were next, about 20 minutes-back, just ahead of Shaw/Cor-tez, with Fersch close. Naylor/ Razo dropped back a good bit as their Bug kept locking up in sec-ond gear, and the only cure was a stop, take off the shifter plate, and rattle the gears by hand. At Gabbs, Knight/Hansen had a fine lead of half an hour over Shaw/Cortez. Naylor/Razo were coming back strong, only a few minutes out of second place, and Fersch was healthy again about ten minutes back. The Craigs had dropped about half an hour. When it all sorted out at the finish line, Bob Knight and LeRoy Hansen roared into Dayton the clear winners in 15:28. Victory was sweet for LeRoy Hansen, because his son Mark and Malcolm Vinje, and their crew, the Class 5 winners, were waiting with the cham-pagne to celebrate the double win for the Hansen family. After a see saw race across the top of Nevada, the pink and white Circus Circus Bug driven by Norm Shaw and Manny Cor-tez was second in 5-1600, about half an hour back and happy to reach Dayton. Naylor/Razo had more gear changing woes, and arrived third, another 37 minutes in arrears, but they were 47 minutes ahead of Todd and Tom Craig. With their Bug com-ing unglued in the night, Rich Fersch and company struggled in after 19 hours, 19 minutes and change on the road, the fifth aQd final finisher out of the 13 that put on such a close contest in the early stages of the race. Class 9 seems to be on the way out, and just five 12d0 cc entries started the long journey north. At the first check, the Hi Jumper of Jeff and Larry Wat-son was right behind the Che-nowth of Mike Baker and Bob Scott. A few minutes back came Kelly McDonough, Funco, then Mike McCrory/Jim Oii:ney, Hi Jumper, and the Funco of Larry Webster/Sheldon Lowery. It was a record of sorts as the entire class made it through the first Dusty Times It was a tough run for Mike Baker and Bob Scott, but the· Utah team kept plugging along in the Funco and finished a good second in Class 9. check in competitive time. Watson was first on the road at Check 3, with several min-utes in hand over McCrory/ Dizney, closely tagged by Baker/ Scott. McDonough and Webster followed a bit later, and the whole class was still running. Larry Watson kept the lead into Beatty, and now, with Jeff at the helm, the Hi Jumper led through Tonopah, but retired en routo to Gabbs. There were few reports on the Class 9 contest. Apparently both the Webster and McCrory cars fell on evil times a.Isa. Out of Gabbs, Kelly McDonough and her brother Dave, who drove the car to the finish, were in the lead, and they led right under the checkered flag. Kelly got so excited about the big win that she tripped and fell, damaging her ankle, and she appeared at the awards with a cast on her leg. Surviving numerous prob-lems, the Utah team of Mike Baker and Bob Scott finished also, se·cond,Jabout one and a half hours back, but thrilled to finish the grueling race. The last starter in cars at Sloan was the downsize Jeep Cherokee of Don Adams and Jason Myers in Class 12. They made it through Check 1 in good shape, but a variety of problems put them in the pits as much as on the road. They retired from action about five miles north of Beatty. As mentioned, the motorcyle riders covered the course very quickly, and the the overall and open class winners were Larry Roeseler and Kurt Pfeiffer on a Husqvarna 500 XC, this year a mere 13 seconds faster than Larry Ragland's 10:07.03.

BLOCK AND GELSOMINO WIN 2012 OLYMPUS RALLYS -Monster World Rally Team's Ken Block from Park City, UT and Alex Gelsomino from Santa Clarita, CA overcame a challenging rally car field and extremely dusty conditions to win their first Olympus Rally and their second Rally America national event of the season. Block and Gelsomino led the Olympus Rally from the very start winning all but one stage. The team drove a clean race dealing with dust through the first two stages before moving to first on the road for the remaining stages. Despite having less grip the Monster World Rally Team gained an advantage racing dust free to the finish. "I haven't been . able to win this event in the past," said Block, "so it feels really good to come back and get this one. The stages here feel like World Rally Championship roads." Subaru Rally Team USA arrived up at Olympus with a stunning new white livery celebrating four Rally America National Championships. Knowing that the Championship was in the bag th.ey focused on just winning Olympus, and avenge a second place finish to Block at February's Rally in the 100 Acre Wood. But the team fell behind early when they struck a large rock on stage 4 that forced them to go through the stage with a damaged front corner, and thick dust hampered the driver's quest to make up time on the Olympus Rally leaders and finished second overall. Rockstar Energy Drink's Antoine L'Estage from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC and Nathalie Richard from Halifax, NS made a special cross-country trip to ·compete against Block and Higgins, but the team experienced difficulties after they hit the same rock as Higgins. L'Estage dropped to fifth before pushing hard towards third place overall getting the points they needed to successfully defend their second overall position. In the process the Rockstar team also clinched their fifth North American Rally Championship. Regrettably, two drivers from the Canadian Rally Championship who made the top five battle more interesting did not finish the rally. Last minute entry, Patrick Richard from Squamish, BC and Darren Garrod from Gwynedd, UK, driving for Subaru Rally Team Canada, broke a driveshaft on the third stage. Richard was as high as fifth overall at the time of his retirement. Can-Jam Motorsports' Leonid Urlichich from Thornhill, ON and Carl Williamson from Ammanford, UK went off the road on stage 8 and was unable to continue. It was a disheartening finish for Urlichich who was third overall at the time and ultimately lost his third place standing in the Championship. The 2012 Super Production Championship was decided at Olympus after Lauchlin O'Sullivan from San Francisco, CA and Scott Putnam from Minneapolis, MN drove terrifically not only to get the single point he needed to clinch the title, but win the class at Olympus. O'Sullivan moves into third in the overall Championship standings to tie last year's SP Champions, Travis and Terry Hanson, as the highest finishing SP Class car. "Just needing a single point to get the SP Championship is a weird thing because you just need to start the event to win it," explained O'Sullivan, "We worked very hard this season and the win makes it worth the effort." SP Class second place finishers, Byron Garth from Bend, OR and co-driver Chrissie Beavis from San Diego, CA were unfortunately penalized on a technical infraction and was moved to fifth place in class. Mike Goodwin from Aurora, OR and Martin Brunley from Winfield, BC assumed second place and made the Rally America podium for the first time. 19 year-old Mason Moyle from Houghton, Ml and John Hall from Sherwood Park, AB rounded out the podium for their second one this year. The Two-Wheel Drive Class was an absolute knock-down battle. Chris Duplessis from Bethlehem, NH and Alex Kihurani from Philadelphia, PA withstood challenges from Scion Racing and the Summit Rally team to secure Duplessis' third 2WD. National Championship. Early on Duplessis fell to third in class and then drove to a class win partly due to a penalty accessed to Summit Rally Team's Will Orders and Toni Feaver, both from Australia. Orders and Feaver almost made up the 2:30 minute penalty and was 57 seconds out with one more stage to go. But bad luck ended their day with a mechanical failure and the team was unable to continue. Scion Racing's Andrew Comrie-Picard from Hermosa Beach, CA and Jeremy Wimpey from State College, PA, had a small shot at the 2WD title, but settled for second in the 2WD national championship. The team finished just 21 seconds behind Duplessis after an inspired drive that kept them in the title hunt the entire event. Team O'Neil Rally School's Ed McNelly from Oxford, ME and Ole Holter from Long Beach, CA snatched third place both at the Olympus Rally and in the 2WD national standings -the first national podium for McNelly. Will Hudson and Brian Szykowny, both from San Francisco, CA, won the Ray Damitio Regional Rally and John Nagel Regional Rally. An unseasonal long dry spell hit the Northwest causing organizers to shorten the event to accommodate the landowners recreational use ban on the property where the roads were located. The first day began with four stages and saw a seven-hour break before the night stages began, and organizers only used a single 20 mile stage on the second day. Still, 72 cars began the event and it is the largest entry in Rally America's history.

Poteet (a driver with more runs over 400 than anyone in Bonneville history) piloted the sleek Speed Demon to an incredible 439.562 miles per hour (that's 707.408 kilometers per hour for the metric among us) average* speed for the measured mile. While 439 mph or 700+ km/h makes almost no sense to normal drivers ... Would everyone please stand by for a VERY clear and easy-to-understand statement: That makes the Poteet and Main Speed Demon the fastest-ever wheel-driven, piston-engined car in history. No other piston-engined car has ever achieved this speed. The above statement sums up thousands upon thousands of hours in the shop, thousands more on the phone lining up parts, sponsors, volunteer crew people, and the dollars (lots of them) that it takes to even attempt to set a land speed world record. This sleek California-built projectile is not a jet plane with the wings clipped off and a }79 engine, rocket, or turbine pushing it along. This car used a conventional 8-cylinder piston engine and clawed its way over the slipprey salt surface to that 400+ mph record speed by powering the drive wheels, just like a conventional automobile. And the team's motto/chatchphrase says it all: DESTINATION 500 MPH. What Poteet and Main did is considered by the experts to be the toughest possible land speed mark to set because the rules take the average speed of a two-way run as the record. As the car breaks the lights at the end of the first run, the clock starts and the team has exactly one hour to slow the car down, stop it, turn Page 34 October 2012 Dusty Times

it around, refuel, check every system in the car, repack the drag chutes, drain (the now 300-degree) engine coolant, inspect and either change or re-pressure the tires, get it pushed over to the starting line ready to race, and then finally start back on another full-speed run the other way for the average (record) speed! It's a herculean task under the best of circumstances and that single hour to just about rebuild a race car has put paid to many a promising record run over the years! Ron Main, from Canoga Park, California, spoke about the team's exclusive reliance on Lucas Oil Products used in the Speed Demon's 2,500-horsepower turbocharged V-8 engine, 7-speed gear box, and final drive. "Oil is the life blood of an engine," said the multi-record-holding car builder. "And the Lucas off-the-shelf products that we use like their Racing Only 20/50 synthetic motor oil are critical to the engine health, power, and reliability that's needed to set this sort of international record." He continued, "We run our entire powertrain on a special dyno for the equivalent a full top speed run, that's long minutes ... not just seconds. When we tear an engine down to check it out after the tests, there's no wear, the engine looks like it had nerver run. That's just one of the reasons that we rely on Lucas products." And may we add: The Poteet & Main Speed Demon has won the Top Speed Trophy for the last 4 consecutive years. Every year that Speed Week has been run since 1949, HOT ROD magazine has issued the Top Time Trophy, the award for the single fastest pass of the meet, regardless of if the pass is a record or not. For teams like these guys, this is the ultimate prize for Speed Week. For video of this run and more go to: www. speeddemon.us -*That's a two-way average ... Poteet motored this machine along topping a stunning 462 miles per hour(!!!) on his way to that record-setting average. 0 FFICIAL RACE ENTRIES TO ·RECEIVE IMPACT BY MASTERCRAFT SAFETY COMMEMORATIVE GEAR BAGS FOR GRANDDADDY OF ALL DESERT RACES -SCOREville at Off-Road Expo to salute SCORE Baja legends & Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame.

RELLA INTRODUCES NEW BRAND LINE: "TECHNOLOGY WITH VISION" -Peachtree City, GA ... The new brand message of the automotive parts supplier HELLA is called "Technology with Vision." The slogan for over 20 years, "Ideas today for the cars of tomorrow" is therefore being replaced. Effective immediately, the new slogan, "Technology with Vision," will be gradually introduced worldwide. There will be corresponding variations in English and Chinese in addition to the German phrase. The goal of the reorientation is to more strongly emphasize the company's core as well as its range of expertise. "The new slogan expresses convincingly and precisely what HELLA has stood for for more than 100 years - namely technological expertise, strong innovation, sustainability, and orientation towards the future," says Dr. Jurgen Behrend, chairman and president of the company. "This outwardly visible performance promise reflects above all the employees' own self-image. In addition, the double meaning of the word "vision" illustrates very nicely the roots of the company in the areas of 'light and vision' on the one hand. On the other, the slogan emphasizes the meaning of a forward-looking, responsible corporate strategy for our enterprise." In the future the slogan will be combined with the HELLA logo. A new image film anticipates the introduction of the new message, "Technology with Vision," which has now been launched on the company's homepage (www.hella.de). This four-minute long video shows the company's various areas of expertise, from lighting technology to vehicle electronics and aftermarket activities to the budding Industries business area. With the introduction of the new slogan and the image film, the company is continuing the gradual revision of its corporate design begun at the end of 2010. Since then, the HELLA logo, the color scheme, the iconography, and the company's internet presence have been revised. Hella, Inc., located in suburban Atlanta, GA, is the North American aftermarket sales and distribution headquarters for Hella KGaA Hueck & Co.

For more information, visit www.hella.com HELLA's new, "Technology with Vision," slogan represents "technological expertise, strong innovation, sustainability, and orientation towards the future." · T HE SMALL "RECCE" TEAM was formed around Etienne Lavigne and David Castera, to delve into the task of writing the road-books for the first part of the rally. In the autumn, everything that has been envisaged and laid down on maps in the previous months has to be examined in detail and on the terrain. Four cars in total make up the procession that takes to the pistes and dunes of the rally three months in advance. "We rode for 15 days, which allowed us to put the 7 stages down on paper, not quite up until the rest day," explains David Castera upon his return. "We have had some setbacks and mechanical breakdowns which cost us a few hours here and there but, on the whole, we need two to three days for each stage. The challenge of the Peruvian part was the dosage of difficulties: we want to make the most of the countryside and terrain that Peru has to offer, without leading our drivers into insurmountable segments right away!" The competitors in the Dakar 2012 will remember this p_art of the desert fondly but with gritted teeth, and this time it will be tackled at the beginning of the course. Despite the determination to show restraint, Castera and his group still managed to break two records during this fifteen or so reconnaissance trips: "the first is having spent a week -in complete self-sufficiency, without a hotel, etc. which also means going without showers! Then we also climbed to 4970 metres in altitude. I can't say where but the Dakar has never gone this high before." For a detailed explanation, we will have to wait until 21 November. In the meantime, the work goes on in South America, especially for the representatives from the three countries who are accompanying Lavigne and Castera tour by tour on the "recces": "They have already started making requests upstream, but depending on the changes we have made to the route, each of them will request route authorisations wherever necessary. For example, if we are in close proximity to a mine or a private holding, the owner must be contacted so as to request their approval." Similarly, Francisco, who is responsible for local security, has taken care to note down all the places where the presence of law enforcement people will be necessary on the big day, as well as the traffic restrictions that will have to be put in place. With the help of all of this information, a new series of !ocation recces will be organised with those· responsible for the services involved. A "recce" a season ...
