| Profile:
MagnetoSport is a new team
in the exciting sport of North American
historic rallying.
The team motto is "a job
worth doing is worth doing at least twice".
Glenn Wallace is a TSD
rally driver and frequent visitor to BC
logging roads. Glenn has won TSD events
such as Totem (2000) though curiously has
never placed higher than 4th
in the famous Thunderbird rally, probably
due to his attraction to snow banks.
Glenn has also competed
in both autocross and rallycross for many
years in the US and has some experience
with track driving.
The MagnetoSport Cortina
was rebuilt with a combination bare-metal
restoration and rally preparation, with
extensive consultation of period books and
photos. The Cortina is prepared to the level
of European historic rally cars, Appendix
K standards with a Safety Devices FIA roll
cage and fire suppression system, and modern
OMP safety equipment.
Of course it is equipped
with a vintage Swedish Halda Twinmaster
odometer/tripmeter, Minilite rally wheels,
Moto-Lita steering wheel and Lucas electrics.
