MaxAttack! raised the level of two wheel drive rally racing in the United States for the past few years. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsor during those years, Danza del Sol Winery in Temecula Valley, California, the Rallysports Group of America (RSGA) paid out a cash purse of $15,000 USD per year to be divided amongst the fastest teams competing in the MaxAttack! events.

More Information
Went to my first rally Rim of the World in 2003 and started crewing in 2004. I was hooked instantly and decided early on I wanted to co-drive and drive a rally car. In 2006 I completed the Primitive Rally School and then started co-driving regionally in Rally America events. Also 2006 I competed in my first Targa Newfoundland event and finished 1st in class with the Chrysler backed team. 2007 marked the first time I co-drove for Doug Shepherd where we finished 1st in 2wd and G5 at LSPR rally. I was fortunate to continue to team up with him in various Rally America events in 2008 as well (Sno Drift, 100acre woods, Ojibwe, and LSPR). I won the Rally America 2wd and G5 National Championships in 2008 thanks to great finishes with Doug, Don Jankowski (Olympus), and John Conley (STPR). I also competed in all of the Max Attack events and finished 2nd in the Jake Himes Cup that year. I also had the opportunity to race again in the Targa Newfoundland rally with the Chrysler team this time in a Sublime Green 2009 Challenger. So far in 2009 I have been very fortunate to compete in all of the CARS National events in Canada and plan to do the entire series. Frank Sprongl and I teamed up at Perce Neige where I was schooled on going lightening fast in the snow. Until a car fire that took us out of the event on the last stage we had a podium finish in sight. There were so many firsts for me at that event that I learned more there than I could have ever imagined. Then another major milestone occured at Rally Idaho where Lauchlin O'Sullivan and I scored my very first National win in a 2wd SRT4! This proved to be one of the most exciting (broken skid plate and half shaft) events of my career. Looking towards the rest of 2009 I plan on competiting in the rest of the CARS National events, and in the US in select Rally America, USRC, and CRS events. I love rallying, there's nothing I am more passionate about. Coming in 3rd in Max Attack in 2007, then 2nd in 2008, I want nothing more than to take the Jake Himes home in 2009!
