Rally — 08 February 2011


The “I Heart Boobies” rally car driven by Erika Detota finished the Sno*Drift Rally,the first event in the 2011 Rally America Championship series. As a last minuteentry the team made it to Atlanta, Michigan to drive in a field of nearly 50 cars onunfamiliar and treacherous conditions including snow and ice covered roads.

Detota, in her second year of racing, has proven to be quick at adapting to situationson the rally stage, finishing the second day of racing after some 130 miles, 5thin Group 2 and 9th overall but not without struggles. “We left for Michigan in themiddle of a snow storm, got a flat and had trailer troubles all before getting out ofour home state.” Due to the delays the team was unable to participate in recce andthus would race without familiarizing themselves with the road surfaces and stagenotes.

By the end of the first day, Erika started posting solid stage times. An off-roadexcursion late in the day and a broken tow hook left the team in the back of the packfor Saturday’s restart. Undaunted, Erika drove her way up the standings finishingthe race respectively mid pack. “Sno*Drift has been the most challenging rally forme so far, from getting here to adapting to new techniques of driving in the snow, Iam proud to have finished and have learned so much,” she stated at the completionof the race.

In support of the Keep A Breast Foundation Erika’s “I Heart Boobies” Subaruwas a huge hit with spectators. “Fans in Michigan are the best!” Detota exclaimed, “Enduring the cold weather to watch us race is just awesome. I love interacting with fans and was inspired to see so many young girls interested in myteam.” She plans to continue her campaign for the non-profit Foundation throughoutthe season to attract awareness for breast cancer prevention.
