For Immediate Release - July 7, 2002 - Haverhill, MA

Haverhill, MA - After bringing home a second place season finish in the 4WD snow tire class of the Boston BMWCCA ice racing series, Trunkmonkey Racing has acquired an MY96 Subaru Impreza L 2.2 in preparation for entry into Production GT. Sean Sosik-Hamor has stepped up to the plate as team owner and driver and has chosen Andrew Hobgood as co-driver. Vehicle preparation has started and will continue throughout the Summer.

When asked to comment on being chosen as co-driver for Trunkmonkey Racing, Andrew replied, "sweet, and by sweet, I mean cool."

Sean has been autocrossing and rallycrossing for the past three seasons and has just now acquired the funding to enter into the ClubRally circuit. A schedule has been set to have the car mildly prepared for Production GT by Fall for entry into rallycross and rallysprint events sponsored by Team O'Neil and WDCR as well as the 2003 Boston BMWCCA ice racing series. The car should then be fully prepared by Spring for entry into ClubRally events.

The goal of Trunkmonkey Racing for the first ClubRally season is to simply gain seat time and finish DLBF. Sponsorships have not yet been announced.
