Qualifications

I have participated in a wide variety of rallies both high performance stage rallies (both

gravel and tarmac stages), Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rallies, economy runs, and Time-

Speed rallies in the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Monaco, and Mexico in

both summer and winter conditions. I have also on seven occasions successfully

competed in Targa Newfoundland, a tarmac rally event, in both the Touring Class and the

fastest Targa Classes. I have also successfully competed in the Nevada Open Road

Challenge, a very high speed tarmac event. I have competed in La Carrera Panamericana

and the Chihuahua Express rallies in Mexico which are high speed tarmac events. I have

been a navigator in the prestigious and challenging Rally Monte Carlo Historique. I have

been very successful in Time-Speed rallies which are similar to the well-known Great

Race. I have worked control points in several rallies and have been a Stage Captain at a

national stage rally, so I understand how rallies are run. I have also been the co-

rallymaster for a time-speed-distance rally that was held on tarmac and this will continue

on an annual basis. I also have been the Chief Steward at a national gravel stage rally.

In addition to this direct rally experience, I have coached and advised teams competing in

rallies such as the Mille Miglia in Italy, the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique, and the 19

Capitales Historico in Uruguay.

This wide blend of rally experience is not common. I have competed with a number of

drivers in different cars and a wide variety of navigation and timing equipment. I have

experience with preparing and using recce notes as well as the use of Jemba-prepared

stage notes. In addition, I have considerable experience in “blind” rallies. I have

2

experience in rallies where the route is indicated on a map only. Further, I have

experience in “Monte Carlo” style rallies in the USA, Germany, France and Monaco.

I can adapt quickly to any situation. I am comfortable with speed and have never

suffered from motion sickness. I am competitive, but am mature enough to know when

to push and when to let up. I am easy to get along with and have been asked back to

compete with them again in another rally with every driver with whom I have rode.

I am a civil engineer working for a consulting engineering firm. Through this training

and experience I am very proficient with numbers, mathematics, and maps. I have

studied navigation and co-driving methods and techniques to improve my own techniques

and to help others. I can provide my own navigational equipment for almost any set of

rules should the need arise. I am experienced in both “blind” rallies and with course or

stage notes.

I have a lifelong interest in cars. I currently drive a Cadillac XLR but I also recently sold

a 1979 Saab 99. In the summer I regularly ride a modern Triumph Bonneville

motorcycle and I am a member of the British Iron Association of Massachusetts, a club

dedicated to British motorcycles. I also publish information on rallying, cars, racing, and

motorcycles on my website www.stevemckelvie.com

I have been a Licensed Rally Co-Driver through Rally America, Targa Newfoundland,

and I also have had competition licenses for NASA Rallysport, Rally New York, and for

the FMAD in Mexico.

I have experience working at rallies both at the stage starting lines and as a stage marshal

along the route of the rally at national stage rally events in both Canada and the United

States. I also have experience laying out rallies in the USA. I was the Route Coordinator

determining the rally route for a 5,000 mile rally for the Endurance Rally Association that

started in Charleston, South Carolina and ended in Seattle, Washington. During the

running of that rally, I was the Deputy Clerk Of The Course.

I am the past Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) North East Division Road Rally

Steward overseeing the road rally program in the following states: Maine, New

Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, a portion of

Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia.

I am currently a member of the SCCA New England Region Rally Board.

We had some very good stage times but did have problems with a broken wheel and two

flats from hitting a rock on one stage, getting caught behind a car in a cloud of dust, and

the decision to withdraw before more serious damage could occur.

2005

Vermont Winter Rally, Colhchester, VT, January: This was a brisk winter TSD rally

pit on by rally legend John Buffum. I was the navigator for Greg Miller in his Chevy

Z71 4x4 pickup truck in the Stock Class – must use only stock odo and four function

calculator. This was a very tough rally. At total of 35 cars started the rally. We finished

3rd in the Stock Class out of 17 finishers. We finished so close to the second place car

11

that an improvement of 1% would have put us in second place. A total of 19 cars started

in our class. We stopped during one section to pull a fellow competitor out of the ditch

who had rolled out of the ditch. This rally required the simultaneous reading of the route

instructions and a provided map. For this rally I built a homemade version of a “potti”,

only with a square shape.

Sno*Drift Performance Rally, Atlanta, MI, January: I was asked by Keith Kreisler to

co-drive with him should a possible sponsor be found. Keith had been approached about

such an arrangement by a rally car preparation shop. This deal eventually fell through

and we did not enter this event.

Snowy Safari, Minden, Ontario, January: I was asked by Harald von Langsdorff to

again navigate for him in his 2002 Mini Cooper S. I agreed to do this, but subsequently

the date of the rally changed by one weekend. This date changed resulted in a business

conflict and I was forced to withdraw from this rally.

Ontario Winter Rally, Coe Hill, Ontario, February: This is a very brisk winter TSD

rally of the type known in Ontario as a “drivex”. Many of the rally roads are over the

same stages used in the Rally of the Tall Pines stage rally. I was the navigator for Dave

Getchell in his Subaru 2.5 RS. We finished 23rd

Overall out of 60 entries. In the

Intermediate Class we finished 8th

out of 21 entries. We did quite well and could have

easily shaved several minutes off our time. There were many top rally teams there from

Ontario and the northeast USA. Many of these top teams finished behind us.

Snow & Ice Rally, Little Falls, New York, March: This was a Northeast Division TSD

rally put on by the SCCA Central Region. The rallymaster was David Lewis with whom

I had competed before and the rally co-chair was Mark Johnson with whom I had also

competed before, is a friend, and had served as stage rally crew for me before. Because

of this and that my regular TSD driver was away on a business trip, I offered to help run

the rally. I was part of a control team with Eric Hobron. We ran every other control

point. We timed the cars into Leg 1, assigned the out times, then quickly drove to the

control point for Leg 3 and did the same thing throughout the day, alternating with the

other control team. It was very interesting and lots of fun.

Frost Heave, Loudon, New Hampshire, March: In order to qualify for the New

England Region Road Rally Championship it is necessary to work at a New England

Region Rally. Therefore as my M2 Rally Team driver was away on business, I

volunteered to work at this New England Region TSD rally. The day was very snowy as

over 9-inches of snow fell during the day. Emergency speeds were used during the rally.

Twenty percent DNF’d as a result of the snow. Due to the storm there was a shortage of

workers so I ran four controls by myself.

Essex County V Rally, Massachusetts, May: This was a “Monte Carlo” style TSD

rally that was part of the SCCA New England Rally championship. In this rally we were

given the location of the controls, but were not given the speeds between the controls. I

12

navigated for Greg Miller in his yellow Chevy ZR-1 pickup truck as a member of the M2

Rally Team. We finished first in the Stock Class and 5th

Overall.

Susquehannock Trails Pro Rally, Pennsylvannia, June: This was a national

performance gravel stage rally sanctioned by Rally America. I was the co-driver for

Keith Kreisler in his Open Class Subaru STI. We DNF’d at the end of the first stage after

we jumped into the water splash and hit a submerged rock. This resulted in a broken oil

filter mount to the engine block.

Baie Des Chaleurs Rallye, New Richmond, Quebec, July: This was a CARS National

Championship performance gravel rally event. I was the co-driver for David Siesicki in

his 1984 Audi Quattro 4000. This was a full recce event in which we prepared our own

notes. We DNF’d on the National portion of the event after the first stage when it was

discovered that our re-manufactured alternator was not working. We entered the Ontario

Regional portion of the rally on Saturday morning using (rotating and charging) three

batteries and running on minimal electrics. For simple navigation we used a hand held

GPS unit. We finished 10th

in the Ontario Regional portion of the rally.

Trunkmonkey: Run For the Border, Lebanon, New Hampshire, July: This was a

SCCA New England Championship TSD Road Rally. The rally started and ended in

Lebanon, New Hampshire but was all run in Vermont. I was the navigator for Tim

Chevalier in his 2003 Subaru Impreza Wagon. We ran in Class C, No Odometer. We

finished first in class and 4th

overall. We scored 148; however we scored 81 on the first

leg and only 67 on the remaining 9 legs.

Targa Newfoundland, Newfoundland, Canada, September: For the second year in a

row I was asked by Rick MacLeod to be his co-driver in this week long, 2500 kilometer

long, all tarmac rally. We finished third in the Unlimited Class behind our Mach One

Racing team mate. The car we had was a 1999 Mustang with a dynoed 610 horsepower

at the rear wheels. We had several rainy days that made the roads quite slippery

especially for a high horsepower rear wheel drive car. We finished ahead of both

Chrysler factory team entries.

Lanark Highlands Rally, Maberly, Ontario, Canada, October: This was a brisk

gravel TSD “Drivex” event held over stages that were used in the 1974 Rally of Rideau

Lakes when it was part of the WRC season. I had planned on running the event with

David Siesicki, but he had car trouble. I obtained a ride with Andrew Mack in his Mazda

MX-6, a novice rallyist but with Solo 2 experience. We ran in the Novice Class, had a

good run and finished third in class. The stock odometer could not be used so for

distance information we relied on my hand held GPS unit.

Greg Miller as part of the M2 Rally Team but we had to withdraw at the last moment due

to mechanical problems with the rally truck.

13

Pine Barrens Express, Lakewood, New Jersey, November: This event is a challenging

TSD event through the Pine Barrens and around the cranberry bogs in New Jersey.

Virtually none of the roads have any street signs and the forst is quite dense. I was the

doing quite well until we made a mistake at a confusing intersection which result in such

a significant time loss that we were no longer competitive.

Maine Forest Winter Rally, Rumford, Maine, December: This was the revival of a

winter snow fast stage rally that had not been held since 2002. I was the co-driver for

Chris Sanborn in his 1996 Ford Cosworth. We had a fuel leak after the first stage.

During the second stage we had two offs and a flat tire. This damaged the front brakes

and we decided to withdraw after that stage.

extract two other cars resulted in a 4th

in class and 12th

overall.

of the 2006 CARS National Championship for stage rallying in Canada. The event was

based in Maniwaki, Quebec. I was the co-driver for Dave Getchell in his Subaru RS and

we had an opportunity to do a one-pass parade style recce the day before the competition.

We had a great run going until the second last stage when we became stuck in the snow

helping to extract another car. We lost a lot time and eventually finished 15th

overall.

Championship Sur De Glace, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, February: This is an ice

racing event on a flooded track. A number of Andros Ice Racing cars from Europe and

North American rally cars were entered. This is door-to-door racing. I was offered a ride

Mustang. We finished third in the Unlimited Class which is the fastest class. We

finished ahead of Pat Richard, Canadian and US Rally Champion.

Lanark Highlands, Maberly, Ontario, October: This is a brisk overnight navigational

rally known in Canada as a “drivex”. I was the navigator for Dave Siesicki in his 1988

Mazda 323GTX. We had a very good run. In the first half of the rally our rally odometer

was not functional so we used the stock odo which registered in miles while the

instructions were in kilometers. Despite that we zeroed 5 out of 10 control points. We

had a problem with checking into the main time control at the mid-rally break. In the

second half we were tied for third overall on time.

Team O’Neil Rally, Dalton, New Hampshire, October: This was the first time that

this gravel stage rally had been held. I was the co-driver for Dave Getchell in his Subaru

rally run in the mountains of northern Vermont with multi-time US rally champion John

Buffum as rallymaster. Forty cars entered the rally. I was the navigator for Dave

Siesicki in his 1992 Honda CRX. The rally was divided into three distinct parts. We had

a great first section finishing 2nd

Overall. The second section was not a successful for us

as we finished mid-field. We did quite well on the third section which enabled us to

finish 2nd

in Class 1 and Overall in the Vermont Winter Rally.

Targa Newfoundland, Newfoundland, Canada, September: Fourth year in a row, I

was the co-driver for Rick MacLeod in his high-horsepower Mustang. This week long

tarmac rally covers a little more than 2,000 kilometres throughout Newfoundland. There

were approximately 35 stages over the five competitive days of the race. We competed

in the Unlimited Class and finished third in class.

La Carrera Panamericana, Mexico, October: This is a 2,000 mile long tarmac rally

that started in the south end of Mexico in the city of Oaacca and raced back to Nuevo

Laredo at the US/Mexico border. This is a very high speed event. I was the co-driver or

co-piloto for Rob Stuart in his newly built 1965 Corvette Coupe with a highly tuned 327

cubic inch V8 engine. We competed in the Historic C class. After the end of the first

day we were 13th

out of 97 cars, one second behind famed raced, Jerry Churchill. On the

the cars entered are older or vintage cars. Many of the entrants and the cars have

competed in the Great Race. Harald von Langsdorff and I entered this rally as practice

for the upcoming Great Race. We entered my 1988 Merkur as it was easier to get my car

there than for Harald to bring a car down from Ontario. Harald drove the car and I was

the navigator. There were approximately 35 cars entered and we finished about mid-

pack. It was a good learning experience for us.

16

Great Race, Three-Day entry, June: I was scheduled to navigate for Harald von

Langdorff in the Great Race in his 1918 American La France car. We were entered to do

a three-day entry from Buffalo, NY through Toronto, Ontario and then on to Ottawa and

Sudbury, Ontario. This was a time-speed rally that would be all on tarmac.

Unfortunately, the Great Race organization went declared bankruptcy the event was

cancelled.

Targa Newfoundland, Newfoundland, Canada, September: Once again I was the co-

days. Unfortunately we blew the engine on the afternoon of the second day and our rally

was over.

rally that was made up of mostly older cars put on by the Northeast Rally Club. I was the

and Sunday. We won our class for both rallies and finished 6th

Overall!

area of upstate New York. I was the navigator for Brian Fallon in his Mazda RX-3 in the

Equipped Class. We used Brian’s Alfa Elite rally computer. We got massively held up

behind a string of cars that could not make it up a steep unplowed hill. We also had

trouble getting gas into the car due to a faulty gas tank flap. We got so far behind due to

these difficulties that we withdrew before the rally was over.

the competition of the rally.

Kennebunks Road Rally, Kennebunkport, Maine, October: This was primarily a

GTA rally (no timing just route following and questions based on stop locations along the

SLK230 and had Dave Siesiski do the driving.

18

La Carrera Panamericana, Mexico, October: I was asked by Rob Stuart to be his co-

in the Finger Lakes area. I was the navigator for Dave Siesicki in his Honda Civic. We

ran in the Equipped Class using the Alfa Elite rally computer in Speed Class B or at an

average speed of 40 mph. With the snow, this was the right speed to be driving at

although there was a 50% timing penalty compared to those in Speed Class A or driving

at a 45 mph average speed. We finished had a good rally finishing 4th

in class and 8th

Overall in a field of just over 20 cars.

New York Winter Rally, Narrowsburg, NY, January: This was a new event, the first

New York Winter Rally pit on by the same organization (New York Rally) who put on

the Rally New York and the International Rally New York. I was the co-driver for Steve

Levesque in his 1991 BMW M3. There was not a lot of snow, but the roads were quite

icy due to some melting and re-freezing that had occurred in the days before the rally.

Due to a flat tire we were not able to recce the entire route. We finished first in the 2WD

Production Class. About 22 cars started the event and we finished 10th

Overall.

enjoyed helping at this Canadian championship event. I had competed in the rally twice

before.

19

Winter Challenge, Barre, Vermont, February: This event encompasses two rallies

held at one time through the snowy mountain roads of Vermont. I was the navigator for

Dave Siesicki in his 2WD Honda Civic Si. In the first rally, the New England Winter

Rally we finished 3rd

Overall in a field of approximately 30 cars. This rally was a very

tricky “lightly trapped” rally. The second rally, Vermont Winter Rally, is a very brisk

rally set out by John Buffum, a multi-time SCCA Pro Rally Champion. In that event,

despite being in the lowest horsepower car in the field and one of only two 2WD cars, we

finished 1st Overall, in a field that was diminished to 24 cars! This was quite an

achievement in this event, given the road conditions and the quality of the other entrants

as only experienced rally people were permitted to enter.

Chihuahua Express, Chihuahua, Mexico, March: This was a three-day tarmac stage

rally based in Chihuahua, Mexico. I was the co-piloto for Rob Stuart in his newly built

1966 Ford Mustang. We had some problems with the fuel delivery system which

effected almost every stage that we ran in although the second day was much better than

the first day. After the first day we were 24th

Overall. At the end of the second day we

were 16th

Overall and 5th

out of 10 cars in our class. Unfortunately the rally was ended

after the end of the second day. There had been a fatality on the first day when a co-

piloto in another car was killed. Then on the transit back to the rally headquarters two of

were killed. So after the three deaths, the organizer cancelled the remaining day of the

rally.

in the

class on the second day.

Baden Classic, Baden, Germany, April: This was a two-day classic car rally in

unable to compete in this rally.

Rally Tennessee, Linden, TN, May: This was a 158-mile long tarmac stage rally based

in Linden, Tennessee under the NASA sanctioning body. I was the co-driver for Steve

Levesque in his BMW M3. Unfortunately we had an “off” on Stage 3 which resulted in a

the car undriveable. We had set good times in the first two stages and had been about 6th

Overall when our “off” occurred.

put on by the New England Region of the SCCA. The roads used were a mix of gravel

Economy Run that had been held by the Sport Motor Car Club of Montreal in decades.

the raw fuel consumption based on how well the car achieved the rally timing. I was the

navigator for Mike Kamm in his 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R. We finished second overall

on the basis of our raw fuel consumption, but on an adjustment basis we were declared

the Overall winners because we had a better timing performance in the rally side of the

scoring. We achieved almost 58 miles per gallon. The rally started and was held in the

area north east of Montreal, Quebec.

New England Forest Rally, Newry, Maine, July: I volunteered to work at this Rally

eastern Ohio. There was a snow storm during much of the rally which ended at about

11:00PM Saturday evening. I was the navigator for Frank Beyer in his Subaru Forester.

Motor Car Club of Montreal. This is Canada’s oldest rally and this year marked the 75th

Anniversary of the first running of this event in 1937. This nighttime winter rally was

based in Bromont, Quebec. I was the navigator for Adam Brodeur who was competing in

a Quebec rally for the first time. We did quite well, finishing in third place Overall.

Winter Challenge Rally, Vermont, February: This is a very brisk all-night rally that is

based in Barre, Vermont. For this rally, I was the navigator for Hal Denham, but this

time we used Hal’s VW Passat. We competed in the Stock Class. The rally is divided

into three portions. We were leading our class after the first portion, but the second

portion of the rally was trouble for us and we fell back. We did well in the last portion of

the rally, but in the end we finished fourth. This finish was sufficient to finish in the

second position in the 2012 WINTR Series in the navigator class.

Baden Classic, Germany, April: I was the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in his

1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet in this two-day classic rally that started an finished

in Michelbach, Germany. This rally used a “Monte Carlo” timing approach. We finished

4th

in our class and about mid-field in the overall standing.

Big Lap Rally, New Hampshire, June: I was the navigator for Steve Levesque in his

Pontiac Soltace roadster. We were competing in the Equipped Class. This was Steve’s

second time-speed-distance rally and first in six years. After posting some good scores

we were forced to DNF when the rally computer interfered with the car’s security

software which caused the car to completely shut down.

Mass Challenge Rally, Auburn, Massachusetts, July: I was the co-rallymaster in this

event along with Hal Denham. This rally had a variety of instruction styles and would be

considered a “lightly trapped”. This was the second year that Hal and I have put on this

New England Region of the SCCA road rally.

Night Trial, Bromont, Quebec, October: I was the navigator for Steve Levesque in his

1990 BMW M3. Steve and I had previously competed in this car before is several stage

rallies. This gravel time-speed-distance rally was conducted using the Canadian rally

24

timing system. Once again, after posting some good scores we were forced to withdraw

due to the failure of a crankshaft sensor.

Graveyard Shift Rally, Loudon, New Hampshire, October: I was the navigator for

Chris Regan in his 1988 BMW 320. The was a 12 hour, all night rally through some

narrow gravel roads through the hills and mountains of New Hampshire. We competed

in the Equipped Class using my Alfa Elite Rally Computer. We posted good scores and

finished in 3rd

place Overall and in class.

2013

19 Capitales Historica Rally, Uruguay, February: I spent two weekends training two

US-based drivers on how to use their navigation equipment and understand the methods

for timing when they compete in this rally in February. As a result these teams greatly

improved their finishes as compared to previous results.

Winter Challenge Rally, Barre, Vermont, February: I was the navigator for Dave

Siesicki in this all-night brisk winter rally in Vermont. The rally is divided into three

sections with one slightly trapped section, one map reading section, and one section with

tulip-type instructions. We finished fifth in the Equipped Class.

Frost Heaves Rally, New Hampshire, March: I volunteered to help with this rally. I

did the timing at four controls working by myself.

Baden Classic Rally, Baden-Baden, Germany, April: I was the navigator for Harald

von Langsdorff in the classic car rally through the Black Forest area of Germany and

portions of France. Harald’s car was a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet. The rally

uses “Monte Carlo” type timing and the time at the controls is measured to the tenth of a

second. I used the Brantz Retrotrip odometer in this rally. We finished third in class and

12th

Overall in a field of 53 cars.

2014

Winter Challenge Rally, Barre, Vermont, February: I was the navigator for Dave

Siesicki in this all-night brisk winter rally in Vermont. The rally is divided into three

sections with one slightly trapped section, one map reading section, and one section with

tulip-type instructions. We finished fifth in the Equipped Class.

Frost Heaves Rally, New Hampshire, March: This was a Time-Speed- Distance in

central New Hampshire. I navigated for Gary Hamilton in his Subaru Outback. Gary

had not rallied in 15 to 20 years. Gary & I had a good day and won First Place in the

Stock Class in which we could only use the standard odometer that is fitted in the car.

25

Baden Classic Rally, Baden-Baden, Germany, April: I was the navigator for Harald

von Langsdorff in the classic car rally through the Black Forest area of Germany.

Harald’s car was a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet. The rally uses “Monte Carlo”

type timing and the time at the controls is measured to the tenth of a second. I used a

Timewise 797A rally computer in this rally. We finished third in class.

Big Lap Rally, New Hampshire, June: For a second time I navigated for Gary

Hamilton in the Stock Class in this Time-Speed-Distance rally in the lake district of New

Hampshire. We finished 5th

in the Stock Class.

Rally Against Leukemia, Loudon, New Hampshire, August: This is an evening

charity time-speed-distance rally that starts and finishes as the New Hampshire

International Speedway. I was not able to take part in this rally due to an earlier eye

injury, however I did volunteer to the work on one of the timing crews. I worked at two

time controls.

Pumpkin Run, Millsboro, Delaware, October: This is a three-day Time-Speed rally

put on by the Northeast Rally Club. Competitors are not allowed to use an odometer of

any type. This rally is very similar to the Great Race, only shorter. The initial plan was

for me to b the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in his 1968 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL

6.3, but during the preparation of the Performance Chart the day before the rally, the car

developed a leaking water pump. As a result we used my Mercedes-Benz 230SLK with

Harald driving and I navigating. We won the SOP (Seat Of The Pants) Class in the

practice rally on Friday and we also won the SOP Class in the main 2-day Pumpkin Run

rally. We scored two Aces despite competing in the SOP Class in which the standard car

speedometer must be used. We were the only SOP car to win an Ace!

2015

19 Capitales Historico, Uruguay, March:

I provided some equipment and strategic advice to Paulo Ceretta as he prepared for the

19 Capitales Historico rally in Uruguay. This is a five-day rally throughout Uruguay

with very precise timing. Paulo and his team did well winning a trophy for the first time

in this event with their third place finish in class.

Frost Heaves, New Hampshire, March:

This was a Time-Speed-Distance rally in the early spring with variable road conditions

ranging from frozen to mud. I was the navigator for Gary Hamilton in his Toyota Land

Cruiser in the Stock Class. We finished mid-field in our class, mostly as a result of a few

surprisingly bad scores. Subsequent investigation revealed that the calculator program

26

that we were using had an application flaw that would result in incorrect answers under

some circumstances. This was primarily the cause of the bad scores.

Baden Classic, Michelbach, Germany, April:

This is a two-day classic rally in Germany that is part of the ADAC Oldtimer series. The

timing method is mostly the “Monte Carlo” timing method with a few special tests. The

rally is located in the Black Forest area of Germany. I was the navigator for Harald von

Langsdorff in his 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet. We finished a very close 4th

in

our class and we were part of the three-car team that won the Overall team prize.

Big Lap Rally, New Hampshire, September:

This was a Time-Speed-Distance rally held in Norwich, New Hampshire. I was

navigating for Gary Hamilton in his Toyota Land Cruiser. We were competing in the

Stock Class using a GPS cell-phone based odometer as an experiment. This turned out to

be a failure as the odometer reading different significantly from the rallymaster’s

distances. We finished 5th

in the Stock Class.

Covered Bridge Rally, Vermont, November

This is a long-running Time-Speed-Distance rally in New England. I was the navigator

for Scott Curtin who was competing in his very first car rally. We were competing in the

Stock Class. We finished 3rd

in the Stock Class ahead of many more experienced rally

teams.

2016

Long Way Home Rally, Piffard, New York, January

This was the first event in the 2016 Finger Lakes Winter Rally Series. I was the

navigator for Dave Siesecki in his Honda Civic. We competed in the Equipped Class as

we were using my Timewise 798A. While this was supposed to be a winter rally, there

was not a lot of snow. The field was very competitive and we finished 5th

in class.

Rallye Monte Carlo Historique, January-February, Monaco

I was a last minute substitute in this major international time-speed-distance rally. I was

the only North American to take part in this rally in 2016. The car driver/owner was Dan

Allven of Monaco in his 1964 Fiat 2300 S Abarth Coupe. We had some difficulties with

the fuel pump during the first day of the rally and more difficulties on the third day with

the fuel system plumbing. Despite these difficulties, we managed to finish this

challenging rally, although we finished well down the field. On balance, we considered

27

this to be a successful rally finish due to all of the difficulties that we experienced. We

developed a thorough understanding of the conducting and strategy of this rally.

Winter Challenge, Barre, Vermont, February

This is the major winter rally in the northeast USA. I was the navigator for Dave

Siesecki in his Honda Civic. We were competing in the Equipped Class. Unfortunately

we had to withdraw early in rally due to sickness from a winter cold.

Frost Heaves, Laconia, New Hampshire, March

This was a Time-Speed-Distance rally in New Hampshire. I was navigating for Gary

Hamilton in his Toyota Land Cruiser in the Stock Class. We had to leave the rally before

the final positions were announced.

Baden Classic Rally, Michelbach, Germany, April

For the 6th

year in a row, I was the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in this “Monte

Carlo” style oldtimer rally in the Black Forest area of Germany. This year we were in a

borrowed Mercedes-Benz 300SL. Despite some difficulties, we finished 3rd

in our class,

which was a very good finish.

Rally Round The Erie Canal, Victor, New York

This was a three-day Time-Speed rally modeled after the Great Race. I was the navigator

for Harald von Langsdorff in his 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG. This was the first

time that we had used my Timewise 825 calibratable speedometer, which required us to

compete in the Pro Class against some of the top Great Racers in the country. This was a

last minute (morning of the rally) decision to use this car, so we had to compete using the

performance chart that we had prepared for my Mercedes-Benz 230SLK. In the Friday

portion of this rally weekend, we finished 4th

Overall in a field of 45 cars. After the first

day of the main rally, we were in 4th

position, despite having no beneficial scoring factor

as we were using a new car. At the completion of the rally, we finished in 8th

position,

which was a great finish based on our first competition in the Pro Class.

Mille Miglia, Brescia, Italy

I had detailed prepared competition/timing notes for this rally. As a result of these notes I

was asked to be a coach and advisor to two American teams competing in this prestigious

rally. One of the teams was in a very close competition for the top American team, but

an issue with a Passage Control resulted in them falling back in the standings. The other

team was made up of complete novices in car rallying, but they were able to finish mid-

28

pack with the other American teams. This work has helped me develop a thorough

understanding of this prestigious and challenging rally despite not having the opportunity

to compete in it.

Trans-America Challenge, 2018

I was asked by the Endurance Rally Association of England to be the rally road finder

and to help further put this 5,000 mile endurance rally together. The rally will start in

Charleston, South Carolina and end in Seattle, Washington.

rally speedometers. In a strong field, we finished 5th

Overall and were award an Ace for

scoring a perfect leg.

I was the navigator for Mike Mazoway in the 50th

Covered Bridge Rally which served as

the United States Road Rally Championship rally. This was a time-speed-distance rally

hosted by the New England Region of the Sports Car Club of America at Mount Snow,

Vermont. We competed in Mike’s Subaru Crosstek. We finished third Overall, just one

point (1/100 minute) behind the second place car.

Once again I was the navigator for Dan Allven in the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique.

This year Dan drove a 1961 Volvo PV544. Our starting city was Bad Homburg,

Germany. We had some very good stages, but we also had some major problems on

some stages due to electrical problems with the car. We felt that we were fortunate to

finish the rally, as at one time during the rally we had pushed the car off the road when

the entire electrical system shut down.

Baden Classic, Germany, April 2017

In April I traveled to Germany to be the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in the

Baden Classic, a “monte carlo” style rally based in Michelbach, Germany. We were

29

rallying in Harald’s 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. We had a very good rally as we won

1st Place in our Class, we were 3

rd Overall in a field of 40 cars, and won the Team Prize.

In May, Harald von Langsdorff and I competed in the 2017 Penn-York Rally in Beach

Lake, Pennsylvania. This was a time-speed rally organized by the Northeast Rally Club.

We competed in Harald’s newly completed 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SLC. Our purpose

was to use this rally as a shakedown event for the car for the upcoming 2017 Great Race.

We found that there were several problems with the car. We passed on the practice rally

as we collected performance data for the car. During the main rally we scored some very

good times, winning an Ace award, which bodes well for a good performance in the 2017

Great Race.

Paris-Prague Rally, France, June 2017

In June 2017, I was the navigator for Michael Eatough in his 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230S

starts at Land’s End in England and ends at John O’Groat’s in Scotland. This is the

longest drive that can be done in the United Kingdom. This rally is known as the

toughest classic car rally in Europe. This is essentially a map-based rally. I was the

30

navigator for Simon Arscott in his 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Works Rally car. During

this rally, there was a major snowstorm which had a significant effect on the rally and the

cars. The roads were is poor condition. After completing about 50% of this rally, Simon

& I made the decision to withdrawn from this rally in order to prevent damage to this

significant and valuable rally car.

2018

Baden Classic, Michelbach, Germany April 2018

This was a two-day time-speed-distance rally held as the initial event in the German

oldtimer rally championship. I was the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in his 1951

Mercedes-Benz 220.We finished fourth in our class, but managed to win the overall

Team Award.

Rally Round The Erie Canal, Victor, NY, May 2018

This was a Time-Speed rally based out of Victor, New York. I was the navigator for
