While quietly confident, no one is short of nerves. Thinking outside of the box has its risks, and a whole new learning curve. There are so many unknowns...so much to prove. And the pressure is on to come out of the gates swinging when the cars take the start line... in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

With seven victories in hand, the Lake Superior Performance Rally is all that stands between Subaru Rally Team USA and a perfect season. Perfection is unrelenting. An internal desire.
