Looking Forward to Oregon Trail Rally
Apex, NC (April 19, 2006)

Event: Oregon Trail Rally
Date: April 21-23
Location: Portland, Hillsboro, OR

This year's Oregon Trail rally will begin on Friday evening at Portland International Raceway where the Carolina RallySport team and Matthew Johnson will hit the stages at full attack. The rally will then move to the tricky mountain stages for two fully days on Saturday and Sunday out in north western Oregon.

Rally Netcast will be showing streaming online video of the in-car action and video from the service areas at the rally. Be sure to tune in to follow car 46 progress.

Looking forward to developing a healthy working relationship with his third new co-driver in as many rallies, Johnson says: "I'm happy to have Kim in the co-drivers seat, he's been rallying for more years that I can count and that amount of experience should pay off in our stage times."

The CarolinaRS WRX will be equipped with a RS&SP suspension for the Oregon rally provided for testing by RalliSpec. RalliSpec offers a full line of rally components for Subaru and is the US distributor for RS&SP.
