Hey guys,

I'm so glad someone told me about this forum because first I'm a rally enthusiasts like many of you and second I wouldn't have found it on my own.

Just a brief history about me. I went to school in RPI and at that university I started the RallyRPI club where we hosted TSD rallies, held meetings and showed WRC videos, and toward the end of my 4 year experience there we actually started the initiative to build a team rally car.

We got our hands on a 1G AWD Talon, were donated about $2000 in tires, rims, spare body parts, harness, ect, and had a team of kids working on the project. Unfortunately at the end, the school couldn't support the program due to liability issues and thus the project became more of a guerilla effort. Soon I left, and then the key group of kids left, and the project was gone.

In my time, I hosted two major rallycross events in upstate NY, some of which you might have attended: 1st one two years ago at Washington County Fairground (one of the nicest land I've rallied on), and the one last year at Argyl (mud fight). The Argyl track was beautiful, especially with the hilly countours and pro-rally-like condition, but for those who went it rained the day of the event and we couldn't explore the full potential of the course.

You might have also seen me at Rally New York in Narrowsburg, NY. I have now been there for ~5+ years and currently owns the Blind Pond Stage. I'm always looking for more volunteers to help me crew the stage.

I hope to contribute a lot to this community and look to provide more opportunities for people to get involved in the sport of rallying.

Thanks for the warm welcome peeps.

Right now I'm traveling outside of the country so with 56K I'm limited with what I can do (especially with posting pictures).

I promise to post up RallyNY and the upstate Rallyx pictures when I return.

Hope to see you guys around NER motorsports events.

Welcome to the forums Gus. Sounds like you've been doing quite a bit for the sport already... Hopefully when you're somewhere with better internet access we can check out some pictures of the project Talon!

Hey Not All There, yesss, I finally found the place I belong, haha

Yea, the next one I might be at is the July 1st RallyNY Rallycross. If anything I will be helping out Ivan with the event organization. Anybody willing to let me co-drive???

The link for their event is at: http://www.hometown.aol.com/RallyNewYork2004/Index3.html

Yo 409industries, thanks for creating this online community. Hope to meet you sometime in the future.

Hey Gus...

Welcome to the board. And you have to get over to some NER events one of these days. :)

Tim (spanked a borrowed STi to first overall at the first RPI Rallycross - skipped the second because a RWD in that sort of mud isn't much fun)

Welcome to the boards! Sounds like you have a good background and knowledge of rally. Glad to have you here, hopefully those of us who have less experience with starting and building a rally team and vehicle can learn a little bit from you :)

Great initiative to get that team started!

If anyone is going to Wicked Big Meet this year, be sure to check out Pro Solo Gear's booth... Gus told me that they will be there showing off some of their product :)
