Gravel-Spec co-driver Colin Vickman scored a double podium finish at the Nemadji Trail Rally last weekend. Colin again teamed with Chad Eixenberger to defend last year's Group 2 victory at this event. Chad and Colin drove to a third place finish in the first rally, behind Dave Cizmas and Brian Naughton in their E85 powered GTI, and Mike Hurst and Al Kintigh's immaculately prepared Ford Capri, despite an oil system problem. Despite a brief rain, dust became a major factor in the second run through the stages. Chad and Colin set faster times than last year, but still ended up on the recieving end of a 1 minute beatdown by Cizmas and Naughton. The third and second place finishes were enough to push Chad into the lead of the Central Region G2 Championship. Colin moves up to third in the Central Region G2 Co-Drivers championship Congrats goes out to Brian Naughton, a long time TSD'er, for showing up in a big way in his first stage rally.
Next weekend the Central Region Championship makes its only stop in Wisconsin at Gravity Park in Chilton. This is your chance to see top flight rally cars in action! Being our home event, the Gravel-Spec crew will be working stages, helping to keep this rally running.
