This
Cochrane, Alberta based team in their 3rd
year together is starting to really gel,
After 3 years of trying to finish the Rocky
Mountain Rally, Driver, Penny Mellor and
Co-driver, Rome Awde have finally done it.
The team is looking forward to a recce event
to create their own pace notes. "The
PFR is an event that we have not been to
yet" says Awde, "but we have aquired
a sponsor for the event and we are looking
forward to doing a recce event". Recce
is when the competitors create their own
route notes by traveling the roads, used
for the rally, the day before the event.
"This is how the World Rally teams
do it to create detailed notes of roads
and conditions, we have only just started
using recce in Canadian events in the last
year or so". Mellor and Awde run a
stock VW GTI in production class, "the
car is a seasoned runner and has seen the
hills around Merrit before when we were
here for Mountain Trails last year".
Team Mellor Motorsports looks to do well
in their class
