Profile:

A new contender in the world of rally racing is team Mantis Works.  Competing in the first rally-prepped MINI Cooper in Canada, they have already taken two trophies at their first event the "Cochrane 100 Years Rally" on March 23, 2003, and hope to continue that trend in the events to come.

Tony Reynolds' first introduction to the official side of the sport was as a TSD driver in a Jeep TJ.  His spirited driving style in a vehicle that "just shouldn't be able to do that!" led to some entertaining corners, however few top finishes, as his desire for speed overcame the purpose of the rally.  It was at that point that the decision was made to move over to Performance Rally.

Sean McPhee is a fairly new co-driver.  His first Rally was the Thunderbird TSD, in which he and Mantis driver, Tony Reynolds, drove a Jeep TJ. His first performance rally was in the Team Mantis MINI at the "Cochrane 100 Years Rally".  Sean hopes to use this season to hone his skills, and help the team continue in their successes.
