The 2013 Bluenose Autosport Club Performance Rally season has drawn to a close with Sunday’s Trout Lake Rally which took place on all new stages in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia! 6 teams competed from as far away as Maine on these challenging, twisty roads with Jonathan Conrad and Clarke Paynter once again taking the overall victory in their 2002 Subaru WRX. Robert Sockalexis and Nathan Sockalexis traveled all the way from Maine for this event with both trying new challenges. While Robert is an experienced Rally America Co-Driver, formerly of the Double Plus Rally, this was his first driving event and the first rally ever for his brother Nathan! They took home a comfortable second place at the end of the day and an unfortunate To-Do list after pushing hard through the Flying Finish on the final stage resulting in some damage to their 2000 Subaru Impreza. We hope to see them again in 2014!
We thank all the Organizers, Volunteers and Competitors for all their tireless work to keep our sport going and growing in 2013! We’re already looking forward to the stages of 2014!

Remember, this is the end of Performance Rally for 2013, but not the end of rally! The Kennetcook Conundrum TSD Rally is November 9th and the 2013-2014 RallyCross season kicks off the next day! There’s rallying for everyone’s interest and budget!
