Profile:

Nat Stow began his rally career in the late 1990s in a Mk 2 VW Golf. He learned the skills required for rally driving quickly, and in 2000 won the US national ClubRally Group 2 championship. Shortly thereafter he stepped up to a 2002 Subaru WRX, and scored numerous Production GT class wins and several US national top 10 finishes.

In 2002 Nat converted his WRX to Open class, and teamed with veteran co-driver Ben Bradley. Success was immediate, as the duo won the prestigious Doo Wop Rally Championship. Nat then finished 6th overall at the Oregon Trail Rally (with John Elkin co-driving, as Ben was the event chairman). After three more rallysprints, all won by Stow and Bradley, real life got in the way of rallying and Nat was forced to sell his WRX to the Hintz brothers and step out of the sport for a period of time.

Fast forward to 2005, when the Caution Motorsports team of Terry Christensen and Terry Woltman debuted a Subaru 2.5RS. Their Group 2 Mazda 323 was then available, and the Stow/Bradley team was reunited in the front-drive Mazda. The team had a respectable showing at the Doo Wops, then took the Mazda to British Columbia for the Mountain Trials rally. Despite persistent mechanical woes, the team set some blazing stage times.

Both Stow and Bradley are thrilled to be returning to British Columbia for the Pacific Forest Rally. “We love the roads, the Nicola Valley scenery, the rabid fans, and Annie at the Middlesboro.”
