Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - Paladin Rally is gearing up for the first gravel event of the Rally America Season! In homage to the poineers who made the journey years ago, rally teams will travel the Oregon Trail. This years OT promises to be really damn exciting with the addition of Stig Blomqvist to the mix of already fierce competitors. The Paladin Rally Team has a major advantage having already run a gravel event this season. After the clean running of Cherokee Trails, the team has had time to make a couple of improvments to Kylie. The biggest difference is the addition of the next generation of Matty Molded PATENT PENDING under body protection. "We'd need to drive over a shot gun to hurt the floor."

Oregon Trail is the first event of three on the west coast. The second is Rim of the World in May. Rocky Mountain Rally is also a few weeks after Rim, but Pal;adin Rally will not be competeing in that event. The team will be staying on the west coast between events, using the time reprep Kylie and mentaly prepare for Rim by basking in the California sun.
