ST. LOUIS, MO - 321GoVideo releases three videos covering the first place podium finish of Matthew Johnson, PGT driver Stephan Verdier, and the open class entry of Robert Wall. The Susquehannock Trail Rally, held on June 1, was the fifth rally of the Rally America National Championship Series. The rally included over 100 miles of fast and twisty roads through the forests of Pennsylvania. The videos can be viewed free of charge at http://321GoVideo.com

Matthew Johnson and co-driver Jeremy Wimpey came to Wellsboro looking for some much needed points in the PGT championship. Matthew started off strong against fellow PGT drivers, consistently finishing the stages 20 to 40 seconds ahead of the next class competitor. Coming into the midpoint break Matthew amassed almost a 2 minute lead on his competition and never looked back. He finished out the day at an impressive pace, placing sixth overall, cruising across the finish line taking the class win.

Robert Wall, along with a new and excited co-driver Chad Edmunds, finished the rally in a respectable tenth place overall. Robert came into STPR after a hiatus from rallying, just his second event of the year. His newly prepped Subaru WRX STi was driven at a fast and steady speed, finishing the rally with little to no damage, despite Matthew Johnson's advice to "bring the car back with a few scratches".

Stephan Verdier and co-driver Scott Crouch wanted to have a strong finish at STPR but were quickly out of the rally. Finishing the first two stages of the rally with competitive stage times, an unlucky spin near the end of stage 3 cost them a top three finish. Stephan explained "100 yards from the finish, the last corner I just went too fast in and bounced off of the berm and high-centered the car on the next turn."

The completion of STPR marks the fifth round out of nine in the Rally America National Championship. The following event was the New England Forest Rally, held on July 13 - 14 in Rumford, Maine.
