March 16th and 17th would see the return of the Detroit Region's Dawnbuster Rally. This traditional dusk to dawn event was resurrected by Gene Henderson after a two-year hiatus. The rally started at 9:00 PM Saturday night and finished at 7:00 AM Sunday morning with lots of fun twisty roads in between.

After 40 scored controls, the Team Harco crew of Scott Harvey and Kent Gardam captured the Limited class win by a large margin and placed 2nd overall. Overall winners were Ron Johnstonbaugh and Jack von Kaenel (who are sweeping the country in an attempt to enter and win every rally there is) with 22 points. Second in E, and with an identical score as the lesser equipped Harco crew, were Tom and Tyler Bell with 52 points. Stock class was captured by Julie Hanson and Mike Bennett with 239 points. Novice winners were Line/Line (491) and Lauppe/Wibby (729).

There were a lot of sleepy workers and competitors by the time the awards were given out on Sunday morning. But as we have been saying for years... Team Harco Motorsports - "Win on Sunday, Sleep on Monday." This is exactly the sort of event that inspired the slogan!
