Friday Morning Press Stage Details
An informal opportunity for members of the working press to meet with the
stars of SCCA ProRally, and see the cars contesting the SCCA ProRally
Manufacturers' Championship. A press caravan will depart from the West Coast
Olympia Hotel at 7:30 AM Sharp for the press stage location. A press/VIP van
will be available on first come/first served basis. All attending Press must
be Credentialed prior to leaving for the stage.
This is a closed press stage for Manufacturers Championship and select
independently entered vehicles only, presented exclusively for registered
members of the Press, Supporting Manufacturers representatives, Series
Championship and specific team sponsors and VIP's. Rides in the rally cars
are not guaranteed, and will be handled purely on a request basis with
manufacturer teams and drivers.
Selected entries (driver/co-driver):
Paul Choiniere and Jeff Becker; SCCA Open Class 2000 Hyundai Tiburon -
Multi-time overall SCCA ProRally National Champions Choiniere and Becker come
to Wild West in an exceedingly rare condition for the team - 4th overall in
Drivers/Co-Drivers points, and 3rd overall in Manufacturers points. While an
overall Drivers' Championship, with only three events remaining is a near
mathematical impossibility, Hyundai, with some strong year-ending finishes,
can still mount a significant charge for the Manufacturers title. No
question, the outcome of this event, which Hyundai won last year,
(Lawler/Bradley) will determine the company's strategy for the balance of the
season.
Subaru's new WRX's have been virtually unstoppable this season, and there
is no reason to suspect that their impressive string of podiums and victories
isn't sustainable. The Prodrive managed team shows top form at every event,
and has the 2002 Group N Manufacturers championship already in the bag. Top
podium finishes from Lovell and Scheible this weekend have the potential to
all but shut out the challengers.
After a three-event hiatus, Richard Tuthill and John Bennie are back.
The previously unknown in the US duo from the UK took the SCCA ProRally
Championship by storm with an overall win at their debut event at Cherokee
and 2nd place at Oregon Trail; by virtue of those finishes they are still
placed 6th overall in the Drivers championship. Driving a fresh Mitsubishi
Lancer Evo VI, Tuthill and Bennie are rumoured to be committed to finish the
balance of the season and as such, stand a very good chance of really shaking
up the overall Championship chances for Mark Lovell and Seamus Burke.
Seamus Burke and Frank Cunningham - the leading independent entries and a
mere 9 points out of the top championship spot, will need a bit of luck to
recapture the top of the leader board at Wild West; but, with their
impressive "podium slot at every round" season, there isn't much that is out
of these two gentleman's grasp.
Event Rank:
This rally is a full points SCCA ProRally Championship event. Drivers earn
points towards the national championship, and supporting manufacturers
(Hyundai, Mazda, Subaru and Mitsubishi) earn points towards overall and class
Manufacturers' Championships.
Press Credentials:
Event Press/Photo credentials will be available at registration on Thursday
evening and Friday. Access to press-only photo areas, and to the post event
parties will require a press pass. Credentials are available only to members
of the working press. Identification and/or work assignment required.
Visuals, Interviews & Media information:
During the event, action photography will be possible from spectator and
select press-only viewing areas along the rally course. Drivers, co-drivers
and crew will be accessible throughout the event, including the Friday
afternoon Parc Expose. Media relations will be able to provide driver and
co-driver interviews, event results and other information via telephone and
Email.

Start Order & Late Breaking News:
SCCA ProRally Championship - Wild West
Olympia, WA: A record sixty-seven cars are entered in the Wild West Rally -
the eighth round in the ten event SCCA ProRally Championship series. The
two-day performance rally will be held on closed Simpson Timber Company roads
in the Mason County area west of Olympia, near the town of Shelton.
Selected entries, news:
For the first time this season, Hyundai drivers Noel Lawler and Paul
Choiniere won the top two seeded draw starting positions, giving the team a
much needed morale boost, and a real leg up if the rally becomes dusty. 2001
has been a rough season for the 5-time championship manufacturer, and
particularly so for 1999 champions Noel Lawler and Charles Bradley, who have
yet to finish a rally this season. Spirits are running high this weekend, as
this tough event has several times in the past been the lucky one that
changed the fortunes for the team.
Seamus Burke and Frank Cunningham are ready to rumble in their
independently entered Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI -the Irish duo are waging a
season-long battle against Subaru with comparisons to David vs Goliath
becoming more and more evident. Burke has a lock on 2nd place in the overall
Driver's Championship, just 9 points behind Mark Lovell, but Cunningham is
holding an edge over Steve Turvey, Lovell's co-driver. How'd he do that?
Turvey took a one-event holiday at STPR, a mis-que that now puts him 13
points behind Cunningham.
US and Canadian Production GT Champion Patrick Richard, who entered his
first overseas event in Australia this past weekend, is back from down under
and will be running his own Open class Subaru Impreza that he 'nearly
debuted' at Ojibwe. Richard was forced into a last minute withdrawal at that
event with transmission problems.
In the two-wheel drive category, the crowd pleasing 'school bus yellow'
Volvo of local favorite Carl Jardevall is back, and this time fellow Volvo
devotee and equally crowd pleasing Bill Malik will be in hot pursuit.
Sandwiched between the two wild men and their flying rocks will be 1998 Gr 2
champion, "mild mannered" David White, who's driving style and vehicle choice
(VW Golf GTi) is as completely different from Jardevall and Malik as night is
from day; making a great show for the rally fans that are coming from all
over the country to watch the spectacle that is SCCA ProRally.
The Rally starts tomorrow afternoon from downtown Shelton at 5:30 PM,
following a 1-hour open to the public Parc Expose of all the rally cars, at
3rd and Franklin Streets.
The start order, due to the large size of the field, has been condensed
down to the top 50 teams for this release. The complete listing, with up to
the minute updates, is available at the Wild West website address shown below.

SCCA ProRally Championship - Round #8 - Wild West
Leg One/Leg Two Results, Key Notes
Tuthill Makes Triumphant US Return; Choiniere and Lovell Falter;
Burke remains "Mr. Podium"
Olympia, WA - Perfect, sunny and warm weather here in the usually damp and cool Northwest corner of the
country yielded astonishing amounts of dust, but was just one factor that turned this seemingly ordinary
late-season event into a battle not just against mechanical attrition, but of wits, strategy, and just
plain luck. In the end, some of the biggest players had fallen, some seasoned independents had long-awaited
excellent results, and some new upstarts got their first taste of high-ranking national attention.
Key Notes:
Event organizers made a rare decision prior to the start to run the entire rally with "2 minute dust windows."
SCCA ProRally events start cars on-stage at one-minute intervals; but due to the very dry and virtually
windless conditions here in Washington, a stifling dust situation existed which had a direct effect on the
safety of the event. By making this change, however, the event automatically would run behind schedule, so
some hectic behind-the-scenes work by the event committee was required to keep things as near to the published
schedule as possible.
Friday nights stages, and results, were much as one might expect based on previous event outcomes -
Subaru was having a solid evening, Hyundai was challenged but up to the task, and Mitsubishi was once again
relying on independent entries to keep their flag in the air. About the only surprise of the evening was
Richard Tuthill's 6th position, when conventional wisdom might have placed him in the top three. Also
pleasing was an exceptionally short retirement list - perhaps the 2 minute windows were working well, or the
consistently poor visibility (some drivers said that a 5-minute window wouldn't have been enough) was keeping
everyone on their toes.
Saturday, however, was a new day - and immediately the entire complexion of the event changed dramatically.
SS7 - a long stage - started eating its young right away, with four Pro entries and nearly double that number
of Club entries not making it to the end. SS9 was equally cruel, but this time snagged two front runners
Leg One's overall leader Mark Lovell had his left front tire delaminate, a violent failure that took out the
shielding around the cars front wiring harness, and then the harness itself; effectively 'unplugging' the engine
, bringing the Subaru to a halt midway through the longest stage in US Rallying - 28.5 miles. Reigning
champion Paul Choiniere, who was leading the event going into SS9, suffered a turbo failure near the same area,
nd while able to complete the stage, was forced to withdraw at service.
In the meantime, Tuthill, who on Leg One was beset with routebook and map interpretation problems that
slowed
him down, overnight worked with longtime co-driver John Bennie to get themselves re-acquainted with American
rallying, and came out of the box on Saturday absolutely on fire, charging to the front. By midday, it
became clear that the two leader retirements, and Tuthill's well-timed offense effectively have put the overall
championship points race into a shredder.
While all of this was going on, relative unknown Nat T-Stow, who successfully debuted his privately entered
Subaru WRX at Ojibwe Forests last month, was quietly working his way up the leaderboard; securing himself a
Production GT victory, and a career first Top 5 finish, just behind Karl Scheible. Additionally, local
driver Scott Trinder, making his first drive in his recently acquired ex-Patrick Richard Subaru Impreza 2.5RS
snapped up his first Top 10 Pro finish. Both men, plus the consistently astonishing Ramana Lagemann,
represent the rapidly growing new pool of talent in SCCA ProRally.
In the Two-Wheel Drive category, the expected battle of the rock-throwers versus the front drivers
didn't completely materialize, with seasoned veteran David White diligently pointing his trusty VW Golf GTi
down the stage roads at just the right pace, building a solid 3 minute lead over Bill Malik's immaculately
prepared Volvo 240. The remaining rock-throwing duties were handed over to Andrew Havas, as Carl Jardevall's
day came to and end with a front suspension failure late on Leg One. Havas himself had a challenging event
, suffering a suspension and wheel failure of his own on SS9, losing nearly 14 minutes in the process.
The last Group 5 survivor; Tad Ohtake, was never able to make up the difference, himself having lost seven
minutes on SS3 dealing with an alternator failure.
And finally - Tony Chavez, the Production class stalwart that has been hounding class leader Craig Peeper
all season, took over the class lead here in Washington. Chavez drove a well paced rally, as he literally
watched his entire class evaporate before him - 'StudBug" driver Michael Halley had to scratch the event due to
transport problems, Class leader Craig Peeper stuffed his Focus into a tree on SS3, and Mark Tabor's engine
seized overnight, and was unable to restart on Day Two. This left the lucky Chavez with only one thing
to do - check the fuel level and drive a smooth rally - which he and co-driver Doug Robinson did with style.
With only an 8 point margin,
With Tuthill's win, Choiniere and Lovell's DNF's, and Burke's persistent podium residency, the Overall
points chase has become a real hornets nest as the championship season heads into its final two events.
Unofficially, the Overall drivers points are: Burke: 129, Lovell 123, Scheible 78, Tuthill 63, and
Choiniere 60.
In the Manufacturers Championship, the situation is even tighter - Subaru's lead in the overall has diminished
slightly, and the automaker is now tied with Mitsubishi in Open class. The unofficial points now stand at:
Subaru 134, Mitsubishi 127, and Hyundai 115.
