EUROSPORT MANHATTAN RALLYING TO COMPETE AT BLACK RIVER STAGES


September 24, 2002

New York City based Eurosport Manhattan Rallying will field two cars at the 2002 Black River Stages Club Rally. Black River Stages is a coefficient 3 performance rally counting towards the North East division drivers and co-drivers championship, and is sanctioned by the Blue Mountain region SCCA. The event takes place on September 27-28th and will consist of fifteen special stages run on the gravel forest roads surrounding Harrisville, NY. Three of the fifteen stages will be run Friday night at the newly completed Adirondack International Speedway.

Andrew Hadjiminas and co-driver Luis Figueiredo will be back once again at the controls of the team's Open class Subaru Impreza Turbo. Andrew's last outing at Rally New York rally showed once again that his experience and consistency are beginning to translate in to respectable stage times. Although electrical problem kept them from finishing, the pair is looking forward to a good result in Harrisville. Andrew's confidence is very high for this event and will be looking to improve his experience even further and continue to pick up championship points. “The car ran great last weekend and we were disappointed not to finish, but that was just unlucky. I feel that I am getting to grips with the car, as well as building more confidence in my driving and that can only get better. Luis and I are looking forward to a good run next weekend” commented Andrew.

Tony Birbilis will be driving his Open class Ford Escort RS Cosworth and looking to improve on the misfortunes of his last outing, where a mechanical DNF on the penultimate stage ended his challenge. Tony will be working hard to get back in the finishers list and continue to improve his ability as a driver, but most importantly, continue to enjoy the sport. Tony is excited to be returning to competition, as this will be his first event since the Maine Forest Rally in late July. “We are going to take it easy and get back into a smooth pace before really pushing. I can’t wait to get in the car and go!” explained the always enthusiastic Tony.
