Alcan Winter Rally 2004
The Alcan Winter Rally is an ultimate challenge. A unique driving competition spanning nine days from February 18 to 26, 2004 and 4700 miles from Seattle to Anchorage by way of the Arctic Ocean. It is both a journey and a destination for which simply surviving to the finish is an accomplishment. TeamD veterans Eric Horst and Steve Willey dogged the competition in car number 7, a rally prepared and proven 1989 BMW 325iX. Underdogs Jim Hogan and Dan Comden are made their mark in a “wired” 2002 Subaru WRX, car number 11. We survived the Alcan Winter Rally 2004 and have great memories and stories to show for it.
- Eric wrote an article titled The Mount Everest of Driving for the Zündfolge, the official magazine of the BMW Car Club of America Puget Sound Region. We were even featured on the Zündfolge cover!
- Read back over our Rally Blog for our stories and pictures from the road! This is our most comprehensive coverage: from preparations to daily updates you can look back to see what all the fuss was about!
- The July 2004 issue of Automobile magazine has a great story covering the event and features a 1/2 page big photo of our BMW 325iX in action at the Big Lake ice track and a smaller photo of us changing a damaged tire.
