Welcome to the SMS Rallysport Homepage! Thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about rally and us. If you have questions, please feel free to email us.


SMS Rallysport is an US Divisional Performance Rally team based out of Trempealeau, WI. We are part of the Land O' Lakes Region. We compete in a 1986 Dodge Omni GLH built to Group 5 Rally specifications.

Our next event is: The 2005 Shooting Star Rally.

If you're bored, check out our new Travel Log. It's pretty darn cool. It's basically going to be a chronicle of the crazy and fun places the SMS Rallysport team goes.

So Headwaters pretty much sucked (and not in a good way). The Omni ran like a big pile of turd and was misfiring most of the 1st and 2nd stages. We're not totally sure what's wrong with it. It might have a short in the injector harness or the Hall-Effect Pickup may be bad as well. We'll swap both and see if that helps. We managed 18th Overall and 3rd in class. One word...disappointing. Oh well, we had fun and got to through back a few 1812's after the event. The next event is Shooting Star on July 9th. Get off your ass and come out and see us. Who knows what we'll be doing! Oh...we've got merch on the way soon...we promise. Uh...other than that...things are about the same. Allie is good. Oh, one more thing. Mark Utecht will be co-driving at Shooting Star. Even more reason to get off your ass and come out. Stacy will be at service the whole time signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans. Here's your big chance to meet her!!! Anyway, gotta run and eat some ice cream.

Tomorrow, The Big Wu is playing at Rascal's in Winona. We're going. It should be a blast. We haven't seen them play since the Taste of Minnesota festival a couple years ago. Anyway, the Omni is doing well and is on its way to working again. The off-season has been a busy one. We had to order a new turbo and the guys at Forward Motion built us a killer custom Enforcer II turbo. It should mate up real nice with our current setup. We also sent the struts/shocks out to be rebuilt. The suspension should be worlds better than it was last year. We are also in the process of cleaning the car up and may repaint it if we get time. This season should be a great one for us.

Other than that...things are pretty normal. Stacy and I are enjoying work and just trying to get through winter so we can get to work on the SMS HQ and the Omni. It's been rough working in the shop all winter. We definitely need better insulation and a better heat source.

Well, that's about all for now. We'll try and update this before the Headwaters Rally on May 14th.

Wow...it's the end of November already. Where does the time go? The 2004 season is over and we have great news for all of our fans. Stacy finished the season in 1st Place in the Land O'Lakes Region and 1st Place in the Central Division for Group 5 Co-Drivers. Dave managed to finish in 1st Place in the Land O'Lakes Region and 2nd Place in the Central Division for Group 5 Drivers. We are so excitied with our results this season and we can't wait to get out and do even better next year. There is a lot of work to be done on the car in the off-season and this means we need sponsors more than ever. If you are interested in seeing your name on the side of the car, please contact us and we can discuss various sponsorship packages.

Some interesting things have happened this year. As of December 31st, 2004, the SCCA will no longer sanction any performance rally events. Rally America will be taking over the sanctioning duties for next season. There will be some changes, however, we should still be able to run our Omni in Group 5. We are behind Rally America 100% and we thank the many people involved for "stepping up to the plate" to save rallying in the United States.

That's about all for now. We'll try and keep everyone posted on our progress in the off-season getting the car ready for 2005. Thank you to all of our fans for your support and encouragement.
