Sandblast Rally was the very first outing for the newly built USUK Racing Impreza. We pushed hard to get everything ready in time for this event. We even managed to find the time to get it painted in the traditional USUK Racing livery. Unfortunately the suspension we were hoping to run did not materialize in time and we were running on a borrowed set of STi struts. The usual agreement on borrowed equipment is you-break-you-bought-it. Furthermore the Impreza is all
Mike Miller and Kerry Feng crewed for us and did a great job. This was also the unveiling of the new team suits provided by sponsor Axcel Sportswear. We’re also partially sponsored by Rally Core who have developed a combination rally computer and intercom that we were running in the car. The system is great but we had issues with our camera and and we failed to capture the intercom audio to the in-car video.
That has since been fixed and we’re also working on mixing ambient rally sound with the intercom feed to the camera. So look out for a more realistic sound in our future videos.
Overall an amazing first run for the new car. Our next event is Empire State Performance Rally on April 20 and 21 based in Rock Hill, NY.
