March 21, 2011 Fresh from her latest top 10 finish in January’s Drift divisional rally, reigning 2wd USRC Champion, Erika Detotatakes her talents to the twisty, tarmac roads of Delaware County, New York. The driver, in her second year of competition, hascompeted previously at this event and is ready to face the unique challenges of the paved road surface. “Most of my experience is ongravel and dirt roads,” said Detota. “Here in the U.S. we don’t have many opportunities to race tarmac rallies. I’ll need to change mycar set up and driving techniques to adjust to the different surface” Rally New York USA is the first event of the year in both the NewYork Rally Championship and the United States Rally Championship where Erika began her racing. “I got my start in the New York series as a driver but also a worker and spectator. The events here will always be special to me” says Detota.
For this event Erika will have the unique opportunity to have her friend and mentor Travis Hanson co-driving. He is the currentRally America overall points leader, which is a historic place for a driver of a Super Production car, which he campaigns in thenational series. “Travis has been a huge help to me since I started in the sport, I’m really looking forward to working with him thisweekend” said Erika about her surprising navigator.
