Our car is on its way to New Zealand!!!

[kmillen]

Team STILLEN is returning to the 2008 Dunlop Targa Rally in New Zealand.

After a year and a half of further development and a succesful test at Fontana Speedway we have loaded our car into the shipping container and she is now on her way down to New Zealand. There, she will once again compete in the grueling 6 day Dunlop Targa Rally. Unfortunately we couldn't participate in the Ford GT Forum rally this year because our car spent the weekend getting prepped and pampered before her 3 week long journey to the other side of the world.

Steve will be arriving in New Zealand in mid-October and will immediately begin final preparations for the week long trip. While we are on the rally we will be video taping the event and posting video's on our website when we return. Every night I will be posting updates on our blog to let everyone know how we're doing. Of course this depends on the internet connections I can get in the hotels. Let's just say that some of the places we stay in our "rural."

Wish us luck and we hope you enjoy the daily updates, stories, and pictures to follow!

Good Luck! I'm still loving the 3.9's. In the TT it is just awesome!

Thank you very much guys! We hope to make the Ford GT community proud and this year we're going for the overall win. If the weather plays nice, we are confident that we can be competitive.

I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the 3.9's in the TT car! We actually installed a set into another TT car a few weeks ago and it really brought it alive.

Jeff, here is a link to the rally website. It looks like we're about 37 days until the green flag drops.

I wish we could have attended the rally. We were all disappointed that we were tied up here. Hopefully we can make next year's rally though.

Hey Everyone!

So, I flew in early this morning and I am currently writing to you from a room located directly above the GT. We are very excited and can't wait to get the race under way. We have about two days to hang out and relax. Then on Sunday (It's friday here today) we start the first prologue stage. This stage is actually run through the center of a town and doesn't actually count towards the overall time. So, it's a great shake down session, as well as a fantastic spectator show. I will be in and out of the car on this day as Steve has to give some press rides as well as give a ride to highest bidder in the charity auction for "a lap with Steve Millen." One of the best parts of the Targa rally is the involvement of great charities.

We have been working pretty closely with streetfire.net and I hope to have video's and a short highlight reel of each days event's. Obviously the #1 focus for us is the race but, we're hoping that we'll be able to send back great stories and video's each night.

Wish us luck!
