“The tough conditions at the 2008 Rocky Mountain Rally really showcased what rally is all about,” said Terry Epp, national series manager for the Canadian Association of Rallysport.

This win vaults Subaru's Pat Richard and Alan Ockwell into the championship lead.

Next, the series moves east to New Richmond, Quebec, for the Rallye Baie des Chaleurs (June 27-28) where a strong field will challenge for the title. Newcomer “Crazy” Leo Urlichich in a Subaru WRX STI, veteran driver Jon Nichols in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Sylvain Erickson also in a Subaru WRX STI are just a few of the drivers expected to attend.
