Format:
Events in the SCCA ProRally Championship consist of flat-out racing, in any weather, on challenging forest,
mountain or desert roads. SCCA Performance Rally events follow a basic rally format similar to that used around the globe. However, USA events do not allow for on-course practice (recces). Competitors generally see the
course for the first time as they race it.
Racing takes place only on "special stages," using demanding back roads closed by local authorities for the
event. "Transits" connect the "special stage" sections together and are driven at normal highway
speeds, with teams fully subject to all traffic laws.
SCCA Performance Rally vehicles are production-based cars and trucks from manufacturers around the world.
They compete both for the overall victory and wins within a class structure that groups together
vehicles with similar performance.
Each vehicle carries a driver and a co-driver/navigator. Using a detailed route book and a sophisticated rally
computer, the co-driver keeps the team on-course and advises the driver of any hazards ahead.
This role is as critical as the driver's skill, since the team is traveling at full racing speeds over roads they have never before seen, in any type of weather.
Selected entries (driver/co-driver):
* 1999 Overall Manufacturer, Driver & Co-Driver Champions Noel Lawler
& Charles Bradley; Open Class Hyundai Elantra
* Seven-time US champion Paul Choiniere and multi-time co-driver
champion Jeff Becker; Open Class Hyundai Tiburon
* 1999 Rim of the World winners Garen and Doc Shrader; Open Class

* 1999 Production Class Driver Champion Karl Scheible with Russ
Hughes; FIA Group N Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V (FIA WRC-type supercar)
* 1999 Group 2 Driver Champion Bryan Hourt (co-driver TBA); Group 2

Lancer Evos, plus the USA debut of a privately entered FIA group N
US-Spec STi Subaru Impreza WRX
* The entire Sno*Drift event is held in one day, and uses the Atlanta,
MI headquarters for all services during the day, making press coverage
very easy.
* The 2000 season marks the return of globally recognized, FIA
classed, performance rally vehicles to the USA. The FIA cars will run
under full FIA technical regulations, and compete for a separate
yearlong, FIA cars only championship.

Revised Start Order:
SCCA ProRally Championship -- Round #1 -- Sno*Drift
A total of 52 cars and trucks are entered in this year's Sno*Drift SCCA ProRally
Championship event, the largest field ever assembled for this one-of-a kind
US-based performance rally. Combined with another performance rally being held this
weekend in Canada, there are more than 100 rally cars in competition in North America
- perhaps another wintertime record in itself. The list shown below reflects the
latest revisions to the US-based rally's start order.
The weather forecast is good, but cold, as is to be expected in this part of the
country. Today's temps will hover right around freezing, but the skies are crystal
clear and the air is calm - perfect for driving and spectating. Tomorrow is expected
to be much the same, with some cloud cover.
Key Changes:
Gail Truess, the 1999 SCCA ProRally Champion in the Production GT class, has scratched
at the last minute. Heavily favored for a strong finish with her proven and snow-proficient
Mazda 323GTX; the car, which was crashed heavily in last year's final event, was not
ready in time. A new, Colorado-based team, Mark Cox and Jim Hall, has been added to the
list, and will be the 22nd car on the road. Interestingly, their car is a Mazda 323 GTX.
The Eric Burmeister/Mike Buskirk entry has moved up the start order by four positions
(from 29th to 26th), in correction of a computer error.
Complete details are below in table format.
Information regarding this list:
Start = order in which cars will leave at the start of the event
Car # = number on vehicle. Car # under 200 are ProRally entries. Car # over 200 are
generally ClubRally (regional) entrants. Some entries on list have not yet received
number assignments.
Class = Open, FIA N - fastest; are cars with considerable modifications from stock
P (Production) - slowest; are cars very near to showroom-stock configuration.
G5 - two-wheel drive high-HP cars;
G2 - two-wheel drive lower-HP cars;
PGT - high-HP production (stock) cars.

SCCA ProRally Championship -- Round #1 -- Sno*Drift
Event Summary & Final Statistics:
Of the 15 manufacturers of the 52 cars and trucks entered in this
year's Sno*Drift SCCA ProRally Championship event, Hyundai proved for
its 5th consecutive year to be top dog in US Performance Rally.
Fighting an increasingly close battle with an FIA Group N entry driven
by the current 1999 Production class Drivers' Champion, the Paul
Choiniere/Jeff Becker Tiburon once again took on all comers, and
emerged with a very satisfying victory. Crisp temperatures and
cloudless skies, combined with extreme patience behind the wheel
allowed the John Buffum-managed team from Colchester, Vermont, to
master this demanding event.
Key Notes:
- Retirements started quickly at Sno*Drift, and didn't discriminate
between the experienced and more junior entrants. The extreme cold,
with early morning temps hovering just above zero degrees F (-15 C),
was hard on equipment and participants, with two entries retiring
before the completion of the first stage. The temperature never rose
much above freezing during the day, and plummeted after darkness fell
on the frigid northern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
- 1999 Driver/Co-Driver champions Noel Lawler and Charles Bradley, in
an Open-class Hyundai Elantra, had a meeting with a tree at the
conclusion of Stage 2. Lawler, already suffering from a day-old
stomach virus, and not a friend of snow rallying, was not in top form
at the start, but pressed on as best he could until things came to
this abrupt end.
- Jon Kemp and Rod Hendricksen, SCCA ProRally favorites for years in
their stalwart Audi 4000 quattro, found themselves in the overall
leading position at the start of Stage 4, but that ended quickly with
a near-head on collision with a tree at that stage's popular spectator
area.
- Seven-time Driver/Co-Driver champions Paul Choiniere and Jeff Becker
were having their own set of challenges as well, with the return of a
presumed-solved mysterious engine problem that had hampered them on
occasion last year. With several of the Open-class entrants having
problems of their own, team owner John Buffum wisely had the turbo
boost dialed back on the Hyundai Tiburon, feeling confident of a good
finish based on smooth driving and reliability.
- Garen and Doc Shrader were having a brilliant run in their Lancer
Evo IV, easily posting fastest time in Stage 4, and taking the overall
lead briefly held by Kemp. While transiting back to mid-day service
however, that blistering run cost them dearly as their rear
differential disintegrated, leaving them with one-wheel drive. They
retired shortly thereafter.
- Also on the retirement list was Seamus Burke's FIA Group N Subaru
Impreza, making its US performance-rally competition debut, with a
rear half-shaft failure. This was a shakedown event for this brand new
car, and Burke was expecting some minor problems as they sort out this
state-of-the-art FIA car. A full-on assault for the new SCCA ProRally
Group N season title is planned. Subaru was well represented, with a
total of three Imprezas entered, the remaining two finishing well.
- Karl Scheible, piloting the Vermont Sports Car-prepared FIA Group N
Lancer Evo V had a great day, with nary a problem, enjoying a
30-second lead over Choiniere for much of the day. On the penultimate
stage, however, that all changed with a slide into an iced-over snow
bank that took a healthy bite out of the driver's side front bumper
cover. While the damage was mostly cosmetic, that 30-second margin
over the Hyundai evaporated instantly, putting Scheible three seconds
behind, setting up a classic last-stage battle for all the marbles.
