Rides for the press are not guaranteed, and will be handled purely on a request basis with drivers that have completed testing. Selected entries (driver/co-driver): 2000 Gr N Drivers Champion, and current Gr N points leader Karl Scheible, with Brian Maxwell, 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. 2000 Overall Manufacturer, Driver & Co-Driver Champions Paul Choiniere and Jeff Becker; Open Class 2000 Hyundai Tiburon 2001 Overall Driver and Co-Driver, Manufacturers Points leaders Mark Lovell and Steve Turvey, 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX 4-time 2001 podium finishers Seamus Burke and Frank Cunningham, 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Canadian Performance Rally stars Frank and Dan Sprongl, 1992 Audi quattro S2 UK National Group N rally star Jeremy Easson with Mark Williams, 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV Additional news interest: The overall victory of Mark Lovell's all new 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX at Rim of the World over the heavily favored Hyundai Tiburons dropped Hyundai to 2nd place in the Manufacturers Championship for the first time in that company's five-year SCCA ProRally Championship legacy. Mitsubishi is a very close 3rd place, but is attacking this event with only one front-runner - but a good one - in Seamus Burke. Both Richard Tuthill and Rhys Millen are sitting this event out, but are expected at July's Maine Forest. Dust will, as is virtually always the case at STPR, be a huge factor in the outcome of the event, particularly in the events opening two stages. Historically, the top finisher of those two stages goes on to win the event. The famous and spectator friendly Water Crossing and the end of Special Stage 1 has also played a role in determining a number of rallyist's fortunes at this event. While the STPR event is geologically different in every way from last months Rim of the World, with fast, smooth and well-groomed roads, the event does, non-the-less, also have a history of high attrition. With the Manufacturers and Drivers overall points competition the most fierce in over a decade, expect absolutely flat-out driving throughout this entire event. Event Rank: This rally is a full points SCCA ProRally Championship event. Drivers earn points towards the national championship, and supporting manufacturers (Hyundai, Subaru and Mitsubishi) earn points towards overall and class MFG Championships.

All three Championship manufacturers (Hyundai, Subaru and Mitsubishi) are represented, featuring four of the hugely successful 5-time champion Hyundais, 10 Mitsubishi Lancers Evos, and a large grouping (14) of Subaru Imprezas, in both FIA Group N and SCCA specification Open categories. The one-day event will be held on Pennsylvania state forest roads in the area south and west of Wellsboro. The Rally starts Saturday morning, 02 June at 10:30 AM EST, following a one-hour Parc Expose of all the performance rally cars entered. Selected late entries, news: Riding a high from their commanding finishes at Rim of the World, where Subaru not only debuted two all new cars, but also captured the points leads in both Overall Manufacturers and the Drivers Championship, Subaru Rally Team USA overnight has become the team to beat. Five-time SCCA ProRally Manufacturer Champion Hyundai, for the first time in their SCCA history not leading in the points, is fighting back, with the largest fleet of cars the company has ever entered in a ProRally Championship event. Noel Lawler's Tiburon, completely rebuilt after his huge shunt at Oregon Trail in April is back. Paul Choiniere's remarkable come from behind 4th place finish at Rim of the World showed true grit and determination, and the team's miserable weekend at STPR last year clearly has the legendary Libra Racing crew motivated to finish well this year. Privateer Malachy Crawford will be piloting the team's evergreen Elantra, and veteran Tim O'Neill will be wheeling the company's Production class Tiburon, as Hyundai not only seeks to regain its lead overall points position, but also attempts to sweeten the deal with a Production class win. With both Rhys Millen and Richard Tuthill in absentia, a first glance at the entry list gives the impression that Mitsubishi's house is significantly diminished. However, the astonishingly quick and reliable independent team of Seamus Burke and Frank Cunningham, coupled with the surprise last minute switch of longtime Canadian Audi specialists Frank and Dan Spongl to the Mitsubishi brand, and the debut of UK Group N points leader Jeremy Easson hardly leave the company without players. The international FIA Group N category continues to grow and thrive, with STPR marking the first time in US competition that there will be a 'break-out' of Group N into two classes - Group 'N3' features two-wheel drive, normally aspirated cars, and features the very unique in the US Vauxhall Astra of Padraig Purcell and two new Ford Focuses. As was the case last year, torrential late spring rains that much of the north eastern portions of the USA have been receiving over then past week are playing havoc with team event strategies. While some stages will no doubt be dusty, giving advantage to the leader, others are expected to be slick and dust free, keeping the rest of the pack in the hunt. Last years' famous 'water crossing' at the end of SS1 was cancelled due to high water, but it appears that this year the stage will happen, as the water level is 'right at' the go/no go threshold, and the forecast for the next 36 hours has only overcast skies and light rain predicted.

For immediate release 02 June 2001 SCCA ProRally Championship - Round #5 - Susquehannock Trail Lovell/Subaru Takes 3rd Overall Win, Burke Steps Up Wellsboro, PA The 25th consecutive SCCA Susquehannock Trail ProRally came to an exciting conclusion in the early hours of Sunday morning, with 51 hardy teams making it to the finish of what may be the most fiercely competitive rally in the US championship. Changeable weather provided a great challenge into the evening stages, and the famous water crossing thrilled, and soaked, plenty of rally fans that packed the Pennsylvania woods in record numbers. Key Note; For the first time in the quarter century history of the Susquehannock Rally, every car entered made it across the finish line in the middle of the water crossing at the conclusion of SS1. There were, however, a few that didn't make it much farther, but none-the-less, the new record stands. And at 90 cars - by far the largest field ever assembled at STPR, and the largest national ProRally field in the history of the sport in the USA, it remains an astonishing achievement. Seamus Burke and Frank Cunningham had yet another amazing weekend, and broke their 'always third' podium streak in the best way possible, finishing 2nd to Mark Lovell. Burke and Cunningham are the only drivers to have sprayed the Champagne at every SCCA ProRally Championship event this year, and are showing absolutely no signs of changing this most rewarding habit. This year's STPR set a blistering pace from the start. Seamus Burke kicked things off by breaking the SS1 record set by US rally legend John Buffum in 1997 by nearly 3 seconds. Mark Lovell ripped through the existing course record for SS5 by over a minute, and the SS6 record by nearly 30 seconds. Records for most stages, both overall and per class, fell regularly throughout the day, and participants and fans were keen to the action. The perfect rallying weather - damp dust free roads with tremendous traction and virtually zero dust combined with cool, friendly to turbochargers temperatures, didn't last forever. By SS8 the rains that swamped much of the northeast US for the preceding several weeks returned, turning the tacky, grippy clay into a slick surface that tripped up plenty of veteran drivers. Attrition was high for the next several stages, decimating the Group 5 (high horsepower, 2 wheel drive) category and the conditions demanded maximum concentration from all just to stay on the road. Last years' gremlins came back to haunt the Hyundai team, with Noel Lawler receiving his 5th DNF in as many events with his freshly rebuilt Tiburon springing an oil leak and briefly catching fire underhood. The head gasket on Paul Choinere's Tiburon started leaking early on, with the resultant overheating finally sidelining the 2000 season champion for good on the transit to SS8. Malachy Crawford, a virtual unknown here in the US, drove a well-paced rally for Hyundai in the team's freshly repainted Elantra, until the transmission gave up all its gears but one with two stages to go. With the companies Overall and Open class points on the line, the resourceful Crawford found a gear that would work (4th) and stuck with it through the end, giving up tremendous road position, but earning the company it's much needed points. Tim O'Neil, with Italian journalist Georgio Cerboncini co-driving, had a great ride in Hyundai's Production class car, finishing 3rd in the hotly contested class - the largest in years. California's Tony Chavez/Doug Robinson captured overall honors in P, with the ex-Karl Scheible 1999 VW New Beetle, star of the famous "cute car" TV commercial, now renamed the "Stud-Bug," of Michael Halley in 2nd. The close Manufacturers points race has become just that much more-so, with the unofficial standings indicating Subaru extending its overall lead; 87 points to Hyundai's 76, with Mitsubishi closing at 72. In the Open class, Hyundai, by virtue of Malachy Crawford's hard-fought finish, maintains a single digit lead over Subaru, with Mitsubishi just 3 points behind Subaru. In the Gr N manufacturers points, Subaru maintains its lead over its global challenger Mitsubishi, 100 to 60. Lovell's win now places him in a substantial overall lead in the Driver's Championship, with an unofficial tally showing the Briton at 85 points, Burke at 73, and Scheible at 50, surpassing Richard Tuthill for 3rd place mid-season honors.
