us. Today starts early with competitors hitting the stages for recce and runs
all day with stages ending well after the sun goes down.
Plan B is headquartered in Indio, CA which is 120 miles east of Los Angeles.
This is a pure Southwest Desert rally folks and temperatures are expected to hit
near 100F. The rally includes a variety of roads but one thing is sure, speed is
king; there are truly some fast sections of roads here.
Doug Chernis and Craig Macnair are favorites to take an overall win and 1st in
Open 4wd in their Subaru WRX STi. Hot on their tail will be Timo Hayosh and Eric
Olson in their Toyota Tacoma. Also, look out for George Doganis and Tom Smith in
their recently prepped Honda Civic. Don't count out the 2wd Honda, George and
Tom are fast and very experienced on these desert roads. George is the favorite
in 2wd but Michel Hoche Mong is always a threat in his 85 GTI. It will be an
exciting day of rally. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the weekend!
