Fatboy Raceworks Rally Team Scores Trophy At 2005 Dryad Quest Rally
Driver Kris Dahl and co-driver Ed Dahl set out on June 4th to complete their first rally in a Production Class Integra GSR.
The team and car are still early in development, but proved they do
have the speed to compete for the class leadership. The team
finished the 69.83 mile long Dryad Quest rally with a total time of
1:33:04, averaging 45.0 mph over rough gravel terrain. They
finished 3rd in Northwest Region Driver Class 3 and 6th place in
Production Class, just 1 second behind the 2nd and 5th place finishers
respectively.
We’ve posted the 2005 Race Schedule on the site. iCal and Mozilla users (and users of any program that supports iCal/.ics files) can also subscribe to the schedule and be kept abreast of any changes!
We competed in the Coast To Coast TSD Rally on Vancouver Island in the Novice class. The briskly-paced rally featured approximately 550 miles of almost entirely gravel stages.
Just got back from the Team Continental Driver Training event at Portland International Raceway.
Had a good time, weather was great. Realy got a chance to spend some time practicing some stuff.
I finally got around to finishing up the Honda/Acura Wheel database.
The 510 Rally car has a new owner. We wish the new owner luck and hope it works out as well as it did for us. Hope to see them out at Dryad/Shitepoke!

The debut of the Rally Integra was this weekend at the 2005 Oregon Trail Rally in northwest Oregon State.
We had a bit of a rough outing. We bowed out of Friday’s spectator stages in order to gain additional preperation time for the bulk of the rally which took place on Saturday and Sunday. A mistake on Saturday put us off the road, and due to circumstances beyond our control weren’t able to compete in Sunday’s stages.
We’ve posted photos of the Rally Integra in the photo galley section.
We’ve had a hard time finding a decent gear ratio calculator tool out there so we developed our own.
It’s got a lot of cool features, such as the ability to graph max
MPH per gear, side-by-side comparisons of configurations, and pre-loaded gear ratios for
popular transmissions.
