"PAYNTERS OFF TO FINAL RALLY OF SEASON"

Brothers John and Clarke Paynter head to Bancroft Ontario this weekend for 
the final event in the 1999 Subaru Canadian Rally Championship. The Rally of 
the Tall Pines is a road rally consisting of eleven special stages covering a 
total distance of four-hundred and forty kilometers.

"This is the last event of the season and our goal is to have eight finishes 
out of eight starts for the year," says team driver, John. "We had some 
mechanical problems last year on this event suffering a broken oil plug when 
we hit a large rock and were unable to finish. This year, we want to finish."

Performance rallies are tests of both the car and of the team, requiring 
navigational skill and expert driving ability. Preparation is key, as Clarke 
points out, "this rally is one of the most interesting with mixed weather and 
road conditions. We will have six different types of tires with us to ensure 
safety and performance."

The team will run in their 1992 Subaru Legacy in the Production GT class 
along with forty-three other competitors from all over North America. They 
are currently in third place in Production GT and fourth overall in the 
Canadian series. Televised highlights from the Tall Pines will be aired on 
December 18.
