Thunderbird Rally 02.17.2007
The Eis Munky Rally Team was born! 
Sirius Racing members joined rallyists from BC and WA to compete in the 50th annual Thunderbird Rally. Gord and Jennifer, in the Rocket Legacy, were one of the calculator class entries for this team, which proudly sported an entry from all the competition classes, and the best tshirts. They made a run at the Savoia Aero Team Prize on Feb 16-18, 2007, but due to 2 DNFs the Eis Munkys were the last place team.
Gord & Jennifer brought up the rear of the Eis Munky entries that finished the rally in 35th overall and 12th in calculator class. I have always despised math and this was a very intense and math heavy TSD event. We got lost (briefly) for a few times, but for my first real TSD codriving effort I think we did well.
TEAM MEMBERS & PRECIS:
Peter & Timothy Ryce – 1988 Mazda 323 GTX (unlimited) second overall!!! Thanks for the advice and the sealegs….
Gil Stuart & Brian Carriere – 1967 Volvo 123GT (historic) the oldest car in the rally… Brian C is a huge lover of rally schwag and helped get the team, logo and tshirts up and running.
Stephen Ban & Chris Peake – 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon (calculator) big off on Twig Creek but managed to get back on time and finish in 25th overall; 7th in calculator class.
Rob & Lucille Anderson – 2006 Subaru STI (novice) Marsh Lake Rocks – 2 tires = DNF + 4 new $$$ tires, but they still finished Sunday just for fun.
Alan & Emma Perry – 1997 Audi A4 (paper) DNF b/c of ailing suspension; Alan was great with advice for getting to DooWops.
We had a great time with everyone on the team, and hope the Eis Munkys will continue next year while we are @ Alcan.

about
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.
