Championships decided | Oct-18 2008 / 22:34 EDT | posted by GDorman | Comments

LSPR has reached its final as well as the 2008 Rally America National Championship. With congrats to Block / Gelsomino duo for the fight to the end and earning the second place in the championship, come congrats to the top Polish finishers for their US debut. Andi Mancin and Maciej Wislawski finished 4th overall and drove a very clean event.

With one coefficiency 2 event to the end of 2008 Rally America Central Region Championship, Rallye de Paris in Texas, I can now announce the I was able to clinch the third position overall and second position in class in the regional co-driver championship for 2008. I guess there was something good to end this season.

LSPR unfortunate | Oct-11 2008 / 13:05 EDT | posted by GDorman | Comments

I'm sad to write this, that's why I will make it short and move right to the point.

Due to some health issues, with less than one week to the last round of RA championship I will be forced to withdraw myself from the competition. After promising season and even better plans for next year it is very hard to make this kind of decision, but I have no choice. Art Rally Team will find a replacement co-driver in time for the event and their premiere of Evo IX MR.

At this moment I'm not sure if this will force me to end my rally career, but after 13 years in rally business I won't give it up so easily.

Ojibwe Forest Rally - more trouble for Art Rally | Aug-27 2008 / 14:20 EDT | posted by GDorman | Comments

For the fifth time this year we are having problems on the stage that force us to quit the event. This time in Minnesota was no different. After good finish on Friday during Paul Bunyan's Ride Rally, we were force to retire on the first stage on Saturday during the 10,000 Lakes Rally. Our Subaru WRX STI suffered pretty violent gearbox failure that resulted more broken parts. We were towed down to the finish of stage 9 of the rally by sweep vehicle.
We lost our lead position in Rally America Central Region Championship, but Gruszka and myself are not giving up yet. Watch for more news on www.ArtRallyTeam.com

What's new in Chi Town | Jul-11 2008 / 16:29 EDT | posted by GDorman | Comments

Here is a long needed update on the website, which happened to be on my Birthday. Thank You to All that called wish wishes and sorry that I couldn't talk with some of you. My battery died on the phone from all the phone calls.
So, what's new? Well everything has been really good. Rally wise we have visited Pennsylvania last month with Art Rally Team (more news on that on www.ArtRallyTeam.com), which allowed us to grab Rally America Central region Championship lead. It will be tough to keep it to the end of the season, but we will absolutely give everything to try to do so. Next start will be Nemandji Trail Rally 2 in Minnesota, where I will try to do a photo blog from.

Move to Chicago a reality | Mar-16 2008 / 11:02 EDT | posted by GDorman | Comments

March 29th is the set date for pending move to Chicago. It was a tough decision to make, but few factors made it easier during the process. Yes, it's a fact now and we are really happy about it ... I think. It will be hard to leave NY after almost 10 years. Leaving all the friends and family here is not going to be easy, but we are very thank full for all the help with packing and whatsoever. We are thankful for the friends in Chicago as well and their help. I'm sure we will use it a lot more once we get there.
