FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seattle, Washington -- June 18, 1998

Amazingly, Team R3, with an under-powered VW Rabbit Rally Lite car, is in contention for a placement in the Divisional Championship.

This is Team R3's rookie season and even though Team R3 started out slow this year, not finishing Doo Wop I due to a wheel falling off, and not competing in Doo Wop III&IV due to a child being born, Team R3 is very much a contender. Mark Wilkie, the driver, is currently only 10 points behind 4th place in U2, and Co-Driver Brian Fradenburg is only 10 points behind 3rd place. These surprising results are largely due to a 2nd place finish in the Oregon Trail PRO Rally in U2.

Team R3 hopes to finish the season strong. "If we can keep the car together and I can keep the car right side up and out of the trees, then I think we have a great chance of placing in the top three for U2," says Mark Wilkie.

Team R3 is very pleased with the results, this, their first season for PRO Rally.
