Internationlly they competed in the Orillia Swift Bear Regional Rally in Canada placing 3rd in class and 14th overall.

Currently running the 1997 Honda Civic 4-door known around the Honda Team as 'Old Faithful', they have plans to upgrade the stock Honda engine for more power.

Nick says, "Our driving goals are to remain incident free and finish all of the rallies entered. I want to approach the edge of my driving limit slowly and try not to overstep my ability".

In his spare time Nick, 25, enjoys Porsche club driving events, mountain cycling and spending time with my wife, Kristin.
