Lake Superior Pro Rally (LSPR) 2009 will be a race to remember. That’s what we said last Wednesday. Yet somehow it all went by so fast, I hardly remember anything, remember? Luckily we had our cameras with to capture our behind-the-scenes craziness.

We have to apologize for the lack of live coverage this weekend. We hope you were able to find it elsewhere.

It wasn’t because we didn’t want to, or felt lazy. It was mainly because of lack of cell service or wireless ANYWHERE, and also mainly because we were talking to so many people and selling our new products and also mainly because, well, you’ll see in the pictures. Things got a lil’ nuts both nights. Luckily, other rally coverage experts such as World Rally Sport were there to capture the event in greater detail.

Team

Terra Firma had two cars competing in this years Lake Superior Pro Rally so we were, as usual, very excited.

#600: First off, we had Dillon Van Way and Ben “The Pirate” Slocum. Arriving after one of the best displays of the Press On Regardless motto that the rally community has seen in years (See Rally Colorado: day 2). Their car may be broken, but definitely not their spirits. Coming into the rally, all Van Way needed was 1 point, which he easily nabbed, to place first in the National 2WD Championship Season. Not bad for the youngsters rookie year.

#744: Also racing this weekend was the #744 Barefoot racing car driven by none other Paul Koll and co-driven by Timothy Knorr. These guys fought hard and finished the weekend in 2nd place behind Chris Greenhouse and Don DeRose.

Videos

I was at LSPR this weekend, filming for two great teams. I put together this little ditty using a few clips that didn’t make the initial cut on those projects. It’s about a minuteHere’s a wicked video, amazingly posted a day after the event. Whipped into shape by driver, designer and all around devoted rally fan. Matt Johnston. I can’t wait to see the rest. Here’s what he said about it.

Terra Firma News

The event went really well for Terra Firma. We had a lot of fans and competitors come and introduce themselves to us. If we were mutually lucky, they walked away with some fresh gear, and we learned something from them.

We also launched a few new shirts designs / re-designs and garment options. Be sure to check out the shop to see for yourselves.
