In this episode we caught up with Derek James soon after his class win at NEFR in July.  We talked about how he got started in rallying, sibling rivalries with his brother Matt, being a mechanic and driver, and his work with his alma mater to get young  people hands-on involved in rallying. Oh, and we also reviewed the 2022 New England Forest Rally.

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.

RallyCast 132 - Remembering Al Dantes Jr.

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!
