How did “Subie Gal” Jamie get started in rally?
Well to be honest, I didn’t have an interest in cars, rally or racing of any form until I purchased my first Subaru in 1999. It was then that I met fellow enthusiasts who introduced me to the sport of Rally. After attending my first event in June of that same year, I immediately fell in love with the sport and knew I was going to do this to my fullest potential. Later that same year, I began contesting my 1999 Subaru Legacy GT in SCCA Rallycross and RoadRally events. By 2001, I had become an SCCA member as well as an SCCA Pro/ClubRally Co-driver for Nat Stow. It was late in 2001 that I decided I was ready to man my own rally car and began searching for an appropriate donor car. So basically, the team started out by participating in RallyCross and gravel TSD events a safe, sanctioned and smart way to learn the sport!
