Just who is Nick Bukky, and why did he choose a Honda Fit of all vehicles to get started in Stage Rally? We talk about that and one of the newest regional events on the ARA calendar, the Boone Forest Rally.  Then Mike and Geoff talk about some of their autumnal exploits and cancelled rallies. We hope you enjoy this cricket filled round of our virtual rally pub.

This is our Al Dantes Jr. Memorial episode. Al was a friend to all of us in the rally community, and a guest on this podcast several times in the past. I hope these stories from Bryce Proseus, Shanti Witt, and Ryan and Heather George give you all a small glimpse of just how special this big guy was. He may be gone, but his legacy will continue long into the future.

In this episode we chatted with 17 year old Henry Tabor, one of the first recipients of the 43 Institute Flat Out 43ver Tribute Award. For those that may not have heard the name Henry Tabor, he's a young talent from here in the Pacific Northwest with a strong family history in rallying of which 3 generations are still competing today. We chatted with Henry about his successes in both rallying and circuit racing as well as the accident that put his racing aspirations on hiatus.  The episode is a little dated as we recorded it a little over a month ago, but it's especially significant we just got word that Henry was returning to racing this weekend at Tour de Forest!

In this episode Geoff and I talk with Jacob Despain of Black Hole Rally Team. Jacob tells us how he and his dad got started in rallying and about their come from behind win at Rally Colorado. Then Geoff and I chat about some items in the rallying news including "Fuel Gate" and rally safety procedures. Also, Geoff got a new mic and doesn't sound like his in a deep dark hole anymore, so put down that wrench, grab a tasty beverage, and join us at the virtual rally pub we call the RallyCast podcast.

Welcome back! It's a brand new episode of the RallyCast and a hopeful look forward to a consistent structure of new content ahead. Sit down, pour a cup of coffee or a glass of beer, and join us as we talk about a plethora of topics. From restrictors to podiums, to some incredible performances we've seen this season, the new episode is a return of your favorite rally podcast with Mike at the helm and a new voice from casual rally driver and full time internet comedian, Geoff Sandvoss from Canada.

This is the first of several episodes we're doing for a post LSPR / ARA championship series. To kick it off we're chatting with one of the most competitive national classes that doesn't get much attention, and that's the Limited 2WD class.  Driving mostly stock machinery, L2WD is more about consistency and maintaining momentum than it is about power or top speeds. Since ARA combined their class with Open 2WD for event podiums a couple years ago, it's been rare to see L2WD competitors spraying champagne. With a championship that went down to the final event, we decided it was a good idea to give them a bit of the spotlight here on the RallyCast podcast.
 
In this show we chatted with Robert Yglesias of Pura Vida Rally. He's the 2021 L2WD Cup Champion, and was defending the title going into 2022. We'll let him tell the story from there...
