ProRally: Sno*Drift ProRally updated start order

Revised Start Order: SCCA ProRally Championship -- Round #1 -- Sno*Drift

A total of 52 cars and trucks are entered in this year's Sno*Drift SCCA ProRally Championship event, the largest field ever assembled for this one-of-a kind US-based performance rally. Combined with another performance rally being held this weekend in Canada, there are more than 100 rally cars in competition in North America - perhaps another wintertime record in itself. The list shown below reflects the latest revisions to the US-based rally's start order.

The weather forecast is good, but cold, as is to be expected in this part of the country. Today's temps will hover right around freezing, but the skies are crystal clear and the air is calm - perfect for driving and spectating. Tomorrow is expected to be much the same, with some cloud cover.

Key Changes: Gail Truess, the 1999 SCCA ProRally Champion in the Production GT class, has scratched at the last minute. Heavily favored for a strong finish with her proven and snow-proficient Mazda 323GTX; the car, which was crashed heavily in last year's final event, was not ready in time. A new, Colorado-based team, Mark Cox and Jim Hall, has been added to the list, and will be the 22nd car on the road. Interestingly, their car is a Mazda 323 GTX. The Eric Burmeister/Mike Buskirk entry has moved up the start order by four positions (from 29th to 26th), in correction of a computer error.

Information regarding this list:

Start = order in which cars will leave at the start of the event

Car # = number on vehicle. Car # under 200 are ProRally entries. Car # over 200 are generally ClubRally (regional) entrants. Some entries on list have not yet received number assignments.

Class = Open, FIA N - fastest; are cars with considerable modifications from stock

P (Production) - slowest; are cars very near to showroom-stock configuration.

G5 - two-wheel drive high-HP cars; G2 - two-wheel drive lower-HP cars; PGT - high-HP production (stock) cars.
