New Adventure, New Author!
Alex here. I’ll be volunteering this year at Targa Newfoundland. I’ll be working as a radio operator, and should have an interesting perspective. Keep posted here for updates from ‘The Rock.’ I’ll do my best to provide as many updates and photos as time will allow.
Now to get there…
Check out the official Targa Newfoundland website for information about the event.

Our Canada Features Sirius Rally Alcan Adventure
In December 2008 Our Canada magazine ran an article on the Sirius Rally Team’s experiences of the ice road to Tuktoyaktuk.
Here’s an excerpt:
“In the low light of pre-dawn, we find our way to the boat launch and creep onto the frozen Mackenzie River. We pass tugboats and barges frozen into the river on which we are driving, but we don’t encounter any other rally traffic or local traffic – the ice road is ours. It’s smooth, straight and seems almost five lanes wide along the Mackenzie Delta, but we encounter more cracks and sweeping corners as we head northeast on the Beaufort Sea. We are driving on ocean water along the northern shore of the Northwest Territories.”

Our Rally Team is composed of enthusiasts who are Stage & TSD Rallying in the Pacific Northwest….
In February 2008 Jennifer Daly, Gordon Ryall and August Ustare joined up to compete in a 5000 mile rally from Washington into the great cold North and back again. The Alcan Rally began in 1984 and is one of the major driving event challenges in North America. The Sirius Rally WRX wagon carried the team to an 11th overall finish, and second in class IE. The rally began in Kirkland WA, traveled north to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic ocean, and finished in Jasper AB. The BC crew was joined by Evans and Josh Keatley from ON and AB, in their rescued Subaru Forester, and Bill Beers and Doug Heredos in a Dodge Ram truck. The Sirius team took second place in the team competition.
