Brianne Corn is a rally racer, and with the race on the line she pushes her machine to the limit, and breakages happen – except with her Vorshlag camber plates. On the Lake Superior Performance Rally held in Northern Michigan a month ago she was running her Subaru in the Open Light class. There was an error in the rally notes that caught a lot of drivers out, and many out of the event. A “kick” should have been a “jump”, with lower speeds than noted. Oops!
Brianne encountered more problems on Stage 12 on a ‘kick’ that caused damage to the rear suspension. She lost considerable time as she stopped to check the damage and found a bent rear left strut which caused the rear wheel and tire to rub against the wheel well. Miraculously, only the strut was damaged and the Vorshlag camber plate was not harmed and Brianne was able to finish the stage.
She managed to limp to the next stage, her crew fixed the strut, and she went on the finish and win her class. Its always good to hear that our parts withstand the absolute worst abuse – a crash that destroyed a strut – and still come out unscathed. We’re seeing more and more rally racers using our camber plates for this very reason. There’s in-car video and more details at the website Dirty Girls Rally
