"Olympus International Rally video released by 321GoVideo"

ST. LOUIS, MO - 321GoVideo releases two new videos from the 2007 Olympus International Rally, following the Rockstar Energy Drink team of Tanner Foust and Chrissie Beavis and the Flatirons Tuning PGT rally team of Stephan Verdier and Scott Crouch.  The Olympus Rally, held on May 18 - 20, was the fourth rally of the Rally America National Championship Series.  The rally included 125 miles of rugged Pacific Northwest terrain, unpredictable weather, and demanding logging roads through the dense Washington State forest.  The video can be viewed free of charge at http://www.321GoVideo.com
		
Tanner Foust, along with his co-driver Chrissie Beavis, came into Olympia looking to grab some much needed championship points to secure a spot in the ESPN X Games.  Tanner started the rally off very fast, quickly grabbing 4 stage wins out of 10 stages, but his luck changed with a flat tire on the last stage of the first day and he ended up 3rd overall, 1 second out of 2nd place.  The second day of the rally included torrential rain and challenging course conditions.  Tanner finished the rally in 3rd place, thereby guaranteeing the Rockstar Energy Drink team a spot in the X Games.

Stephan Verdier, along with his co-driver Scott Crouch, wanted to keep their winning streak going.  "Olympus will be an important event for us. Even though we won Production GT at the last two rallies, we still are not really sure where we were in terms of pace for the championship”, stated Flatirons Tuning driver Stephan Verdier.

Despite finishing the first day of the rally with competitive stage times, a string of bad luck plagued the Flatirons rally team on the first stage of the morning.  "About half way through Stage 11 we started to lose turbo boost and had to switch the car to the low boost setting, giving up precious horsepower and losing time.  On Stage 12 it became evident we had damaged our exhaust on some of the rough sections at some point and had an exhaust leak that was robbing us of power.  Also a few miles into the stage we were forced to stop with electrical damage which caused the engine to shut down," stated Scott Crouch.

The completion of Olympus rally marks the forth round out of nine in the 2007 Rally America National Championship.  The fifth event is the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally that takes place on June 2 in Wellsboro, PA.
