Bancroft, ON, Canada, November 16,2010 - An impressive 19 of 47 competitors at the 2010 Rally of the Tall Pines will be equipped with Hot Bits rally suspensions.
Leading the charge will be young Canadian driver Peter Kocandrle looking to make the most of his first opportunity running an Open Class all-wheel-drive car. 'Petey K' will have American Alex Kihurani alongside as he pilots the Hot Bits Performance Parts Volkswagen R32 rally car over the challenging roads of Pines. Fans look forward to seeing how Petey's undeniable two-wheel-drive skills translate to a full-on Open class car.
Also look for an impressive performance from the pair of Ugo Desgreniers and Erik Kirby fielding an entry from Hot Bits dealer R Tuning. Ugo and Erik are set to start 13th on the road in their Open class Subaru WRX.
Other Hot Bits runners to watch are Damir Akik, who has shown flashes of impressive speed in recent events, Warren Haywood from Tonik Motorsports in his nicely prepared PGT Class WRX and 2009 Targa Newfoundland winner Roy Hopkins trying his hand at gravel rallying.
Coming off two back-to-back overall wins at Targa Newfoundland, Hot Bits personnel have been busy preparing cars and suspensions for this late season gravel/snow event. The number of Hot Bits competitors at Tall Pines is a testament not only to the durability and capability of the product, but also to the personalized attention and customization provided by Hot Bits Sports Suspensions, the 26 Hot Bits dealers and five full service centres across North America.
