Qualifications

I have participated in a wide variety of rallies both high performance stage rallies (both gravel and tarmac stages), Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rallies, economy runs, and time- speed rallies in the United States, Canada, Germany, and Mexico in both summer and winter conditions. I have also on seven occasions successfully competed in Targa Newfoundland, a tarmac rally event, in both the Touring Class and the fastest Targa Classes. I have also successfully competed in the Nevada Open Road Challenge, a very high speed tarmac event. I have competed in La Carrera Panamericana and the Chihuahua Express rallies in Mexico which are high speed tarmac events. I have worked control points in several rallies and have been a Stage Captain at a national stage rally, so I understand how rallies are run. I have also been the co-rallymaster for a time-speed- distance rally that was held on tarmac and this will continue on an annual basis. I also have been the Chief Steward at a national gravel stage rally.

This wide blend of rally experience is not common. I have competed with a number of drivers in different cars and a wide variety of navigation and timing equipment. I have experience with preparing and using recce notes as well as the use of Jemba-prepared stage notes. In addition, I have considerable experience in “blind” rallies. I have experience in rallies where the route is indicated on a map only. Further, I have experience in “Monte Carlo” style rallies in the USA and in Germany.

I can adapt quickly to any situation. I am comfortable with speed and have never suffered from motion sickness. I am competitive, but am mature enough to know when to push and when to let up. I am easy to get along with and have been asked back to compete with them again in another rally with every driver with whom I have rode.

I am a civil engineer working for a consulting engineering firm. Through this training and experience I am very proficient with numbers, mathematics, and maps. I have studied navigation and co-driving methods and techniques to improve my own techniques and to help others. I can provide my own navigational equipment for almost any set of rules should the need arise. I am experienced in both “blind” rallies and with course or stage notes.

I have a lifelong interest in cars. I currently drive a Mercedes-Benz 230SLK but I also have a 1979 Saab 99.. In the summer I regularly ride a new Triumph Bonneville motorcycle and I am a member of the British Iron Association of Massachusetts, a club dedicated to British motorcycles. I also publish information on rallying, cars, racing, and motorcycles on my website www.stevemckelvie.com

I have been a Licensed Rally Co-Driver through Rally America, Targa Newfoundland, and I also have had competition licenses for NASA Rallysport, Rally New York, and for the FMAD in Mexico.

I have experience working at rallies both at the stage starting lines and as a stage marshal along the route of the rally at national stage rally events in both Canada and the United States.

I am the past Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) North East Division Road Rally Steward overseeing the road rally program in the following states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, a portion of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia.

I am also a member of the SCCA New England Region Rally Board.

I was the navigator for Greg Miller in his Chevy Z71 4x4 pickup truck in the Stock Class – must use only stock odo and four function calculator. This was a very tough rally. At total of 35 cars started the rally. We finished 3rd in the Stock Class out of 17 finishers. We finished so close to the second place car that an improvement of 1% would have put us in second place. A total of 19 cars started in our class. We stopped during one section to pull a fellow competitor out of the ditch who had rolled out of the ditch. This rally required the simultaneous reading of the route instructions and a provided map. For this rally I built a homemade version of a “potti”, only with a square shape.

Sno*Drift Performance Rally, Atlanta, MI, January: I was asked by Keith Kreisler to co-drive with him should a possible sponsor be found. Keith had been approached about such an arrangement by a rally car preparation shop. This deal eventually fell through and we did not enter this event.

Snowy Safari, Minden, Ontario, January: I was asked by Harald von Langsdorff to again navigate for him in his 2002 Mini Cooper S.

Ontario Winter Rally, Coe Hill, Ontario, February: This is a very brisk winter TSD rally of the type known in Ontario as a “drivex”. Many of the rally roads are over the same stages used in the Rally of the Tall Pines stage rally. I was the navigator for Dave Getchell in his Subaru 2.5 RS. We finished 23rd Overall out of 60 entries. In the Intermediate Class we finished 8th out of 21 entries. We did quite well and could have

10 easily shaved several minutes off our time. There were many top rally teams there from Ontario and the northeast USA. Many of these top teams finished behind us.

Snow & Ice Rally, Little Falls, New York, March: This was a Northeast Division TSD rally put on by the SCCA Central Region. The rallymaster was David Lewis with whom I had competed before and the rally co-chair was Mark Johnson with whom I had also competed before, is a friend, and had served as stage rally crew for me before. Because of this and that my regular TSD driver was away on a business trip, I offered to help run the rally. I was part of a control team with Eric Hobron. We ran every other control point. We timed the cars into Leg 1, assigned the out times, then quickly drove to the control point for Leg 3 and did the same thing throughout the day, alternating with the other control team. It was very interesting and lots of fun.

Frost Heave, Loudon, New Hampshire, March: In order to qualify for the New England Region Road Rally Championship it is necessary to work at a New England Region Rally. Therefore as my M2 Rally Team driver was away on business, I volunteered to work at this New England Region TSD rally. The day was very snowy as over 9-inches of snow fell during the day. Emergency speeds were used during the rally. Twenty percent DNF’d as a result of the snow. Due to the storm there was a shortage of workers so I ran four controls by myself.

Baie Des Chaleurs Rallye, New Richmond, Quebec, July: This was a CARS National Championship performance gravel rally event. I was the co-driver for David Siesicki in his 1984 Audi Quattro 4000. This was a full recce event in which we prepared our own notes. We DNF’d on the National portion of the event after the first stage when it was discovered that our re-manufactured alternator was not working. We entered the Ontario Regional portion of the rally on Saturday morning using (rotating and charging) three batteries and running on minimal electrics. For simple navigation we used a hand held GPS unit. We finished 10th in the Ontario Regional portion of the rally.

Trunkmonkey: Run For the Border, Lebanon, New Hampshire, July: This was a SCCA New England Championship TSD Road Rally. The rally started and ended in Lebanon, New Hampshire but was all run in Vermont. I was the navigator for Tim Chevalier in his 2003 Subaru Impreza Wagon. We ran in Class C, No Odometer. We

11 finished first in class and 4th overall. We scored 148; however we scored 81 on the first leg and only 67 on the remaining 9 legs.

Targa Newfoundland, Newfoundland, Canada, September: For the second year in a row I was asked by Rick MacLeod to be his co-driver in this week long, 2500 kilometer long, all tarmac rally. We finished third in the Unlimited Class behind our Mach One Racing team mate. The car we had was a 1999 Mustang with a dynoed 610 horsepower at the rear wheels. We had several rainy days that made the roads quite slippery especially for a high horsepower rear wheel drive car. We finished ahead of both Chrysler factory team entries.

Lanark Highlands Rally, Maberly, Ontario, Canada, October: This was a brisk gravel TSD “Drivex” event held over stages that were used in the 1974 Rally of Rideau Lakes when it was part of the WRC season. I had planned on running the event with David Siesicki, but he had car trouble. I obtained a ride with Andrew Mack in his Mazda MX-6, a novice rallyist but with Solo 2 experience. We ran in the Novice Class, had a good run and finished third in class. The stock odometer could not be used so for distance information we relied on my hand held GPS unit.

Covered Bridge Rally, Fairlee, Vermont, November: I was entered in this event with Greg Miller as part of the M2 Rally Team but we had to withdraw at the last moment due to mechanical problems with the rally truck.

Pine Barrens Express, Lakewood, New Jersey, November: This event is a challenging TSD event through the Pine Barrens and around the cranberry bogs in New Jersey. Virtually none of the roads have any street signs and the forst is quite dense. I was the navigator for Greg Miller in his ZR1 Chevy truck. We ran in the Stock class. We were doing quite well until we made a mistake at a confusing intersection which result in such a significant time loss that we were no longer competitive.

Maine Forest Winter Rally, Rumford, Maine, December: This was the revival of a winter snow fast stage rally that had not been held since 2002. I was the co-driver for Chris Sanborn in his 1996 Ford Cosworth. We had a fuel leak after the first stage. During the second stage we had two offs and a flat tire. This damaged the front brakes and we decided to withdraw after that stage.

2006

In that event, despite being in the lowest horsepower car in the field and one of only two 2WD cars, we finished 1st Overall, in a field that was diminished to 24 cars!

Baden Classic Rally, Baden-Baden, Germany, April: I was the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in the classic car rally through the Black Forest area of Germany. Harald’s car was a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet. The rally uses “Monte Carlo” type timing and the time at the controls is measured to the tenth of a second. I used a Timewise 797A rally computer in this rally. We finished third in class.

Big Lap Rally, New Hampshire, June: For a second time I navigated for Gary Hamilton in the Stock Class in this Time-Speed-Distance rally in the lake district of New Hampshire. We finished 5th in the Stock Class.

Rally Against Leukemia, Loudon, New Hampshire, August: This is an evening charity time-speed-distance rally that starts and finishes as the New Hampshire International Speedway. I was not able to take part in this rally due to an earlier eye injury, however I did volunteer to the work on one of the timing crews. I worked at two time controls.

Pumpkin Run, Millsboro, Delaware, October: This is a three-day Time-Speed rally put on by the Northeast Rally Club. Competitors are not allowed to use an odometer of

24 any type. This rally is very similar to the Great Race, only shorter. The initial plan was for me to b the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in his 1968 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3, but during the preparation of the Performance Chart the day before the rally, the car developed a leaking water pump. As a result we used my Mercedes-Benz 230SLK with Harald driving and I navigating. We won the SOP (Seat Of The Pants) Class in the practice rally on Friday and we also won the SOP Class in the main 2-day Pumpkin Run rally. We scored two Aces despite competing in the SOP Class in which the standard car speedometer must be used. We were the only SOP car to win an Ace!

19 Capitales Historico, Uruguay, March:

I provided some equipment and strategic advice to Paulo Ceretta as he prepared for the 19 Capitales Historico rally in Uruguay. This is a five-day rally throughout Uruguay with very precise timing. Paulo and his team did well winning a trophy for the first time in this event with their third place finish in class.

Frost Heaves, New Hampshire, March:

This was a Time-Speed-Distance rally in the early spring with variable road conditions ranging from frozen to mud. I was the navigator for Gary Hamilton in his Toyota Land Cruiser in the Stock Class. We finished mid-field in our class, mostly as a result of a few surprisingly bad scores. Subsequent investigation revealed that the calculator program that we were using had an application flaw that would result in incorrect answers under some circumstances. This was primarily the cause of the bad scores.

Baden Classic, Michelbach, Germany, April:

This is a two-day classic rally in Germany that is part of the ADAC Oldtimer series. The timing method is mostly the “Monte Carlo” timing method with a few special tests. The rally is located in the Black Forest area of Germany. I was the navigator for Harald von Langsdorff in his 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet. We finished a very close 4th in our class and we were part of the three-car team that won the Overall team prize.

Commitments For 2015

I will be the assistant rallymaster for the Mass Challenge a Monte Carlo style rally in Massachusetts on April 25.
