With the support of North Coast Subaru www.ncrally.com in the service area the bright orange CarolinaRS WRX was kept healthy and survived the event with barely a scratch Friday's stages were fast and flowing and went smoothly for the team. Into Saturday the rally continued to progress smoothly until a broken right rear wheel caused a scare on the last stage. With only two miles remaining the team soldiered on as quickly as possible and finished the event with very little damage to the car.
