Today something new. With Lumpy moving on to another rally team and Erik moving to CA the thought was that 2097 Racing would end but the opposite has happened! Eddie has gone on to 100cc karting (for now) while Erik continues to rally. The site will now cover both Eddie's karting endeavors in the east and Erik's rally conquests in the west.

Today is a sad day for 2097 Racing. Lumpy is offically for sale. It's been a fun two years and we'd like to thank anyone who's ever helped us out. We couldn't have done it without our friends. But, we knew this day would come eventually. Erik's Ph.D. is only months away and with that will most likely come a job in sunny California. So it doesn't make any sense for us to hold onto the car if we're living on opposite sides of the US. But look for Erik in a new car at CRS events in the future! If you're interested check out our ad on the Special Stage Forums. Yes, we're keeping the air horns!

We finished Rally New York! We came in 29th overall out of 45 starters. Results can be found here. It was an awesome event with a mixture of dirt, gravel and tarmac surfaces. Stay tuned for a complete write up. For now, check out picures from James of Team Saabworks and Karen Brouard (Erik's mom).

2097 Racing is gearing up for our final event of the 2001 ClubRally season - the Rally New York. Read our press release here.
Meanwhile, we've been busy installing the new Flowmaster exhaust. Our car might not be faster, but it sounds great! Well, at least it sounded great at first. But last night, on our first test drive, we made it about a half mile before the engine died. Pushing the rally car back to Eddie's apartment was another one of those glamorous rally moments. The problem seems to be the battery (judging by the pool of battery acid that was in the bottom of the battery box...). We should be able to take care of it this weekend and get Lumpy back on the road.

We added a guestbook! We'd love to hear from you, so give a shout out!

I added an
Archived News section since the "Current News" wasn't so current any more...
7/30/01
We finished
Maine!!! We placed
44th overall in Saturday's Club Rally out of 46 finishers and 80 starters, so
as you can see just finishing was an accomplishment, even if we did leave our
muffler somewhere on stage 7... The full story will be posted soon.
