Profile: Gary Cavett first caught the rally
bug in the mid 80’s when it was learned that there was an extreme form of motor
sport where a driver/co driver and a production based car raced on REAL roads.
The group B era was coming to an end and those one off production specials with
high hp and all wheel drive grabbed his attention. As the years went by
interest grew in all different forms of motor sports, but the idea of racing on
real roads in a real car was too good to pass up. In the early 90’s as the
Internet came to be commonplace, more information on this sport could finally
be sourced. From there, plans were made to one day go rallying as soon as it
could be afforded.
