Desert Storm Rally 2009 Dueling in the Desert
Well the question has been answered. Can anyone take away the rally sweep of a third win from Bill Holmes? Well, halfway! Doug Chernis beat Bill Holmes on Day One at the Desert Regional by .01 seconds with Jim Morris in his famous Camaro just under 2 seconds behind. Two Group 5 cars just behind a Open Class car…now that was some competition! The day before the event; Desert Storm did its first time recce. It took all day for the competitors to get their stage notes done and ready for the event. At the same time quite a few competitors got a few notes about how to do recce from Scott Putnum. A national co-driver for Doug Havir, Lauchlin O’Sullivan, and the 2006 X Games 4th place winner with Lauchlin. Scott and Lauchlin won Desert Storm both days last year. He came out from Minnesota to help us out teach the class. We thank you Scott! [more]
