Erika's Rally Blog

I am the 2wd United States Rally Champion. The first woman to win such a title in US history.
This blog began as my space to document my car build and has since evolved into a place to discuss the demands and challenges a woman faces in such a demanding sport.

A little of this and that

The 2.2L (97) motor with WRX (02) transmission in 95 Front Wheel Drive Impreza shell proves to be custom Custom CUSTOM on so many parts. I am telling you right now -unconventional ideas challenge you and your patience more than most people should. I am lucky enough to have a lot of support and access to parts and tools to literally make many of the parts.

The mishmash of years and models was the issue…

This slowed progress on the car, tested devotion and friendships. I had a moment when I really wanted to quit- feeling like “Why can’t anything be easy?” and then the rally gods would whisper… “Because you want to be a rally driver.”
