2012Defi ste AgatheCarl WilliamsonBeastOpen3rd-
2012New England Forest RallyCarl WilliamsonBeastOpenDNF: bad note landed in a swampI made a mistake on the recce. Unfortunate, but there was nothing we could have done differently to prevent it. While it’s the same for everybody, 2-pass recce is something the US championship needs.
2012Baie des ChaleursCarl WilliamsonBeastOpen3rdWe did it!! First time ever we were quicker than Pat Richard on pace. The happiest moment in my career! Reliability issues didn't allow us to have a proper battle for 2nd place, but that didn't matter.
2012Susquehannock Trail Performance RallyCarl WilliamsonBeastOpen3rdSecond most challending roads after Tall Pines. Mechanical problems put us ahead of Subaru Rally Team USA, but we couldn't hold them off… but had the time of our lives trying! Two big moments.
2012Rocky Mountain RallyCarl WilliamsonBeastOpen3rdMajor milestone! With a bit of luck, our pace was good enough to get the factory Subaru team of Richard/Ockwell worried! The organizers worked very hard providing good stage mileage this year.
2012Oregon Trail RallyCarl WilliamsonBeastOpen2ndProper recce, big jump, David Higgin's impressive pace, passionate fans.
2012100 Acre WoodCarl WilliamsonBeastOpenDNF hit a treeStage 1: the fastest ever drive on a puncture. Stage 8: another drive on the puncture, which damaged the steering. Stage 9: steering failed, crashed into a tree.
2012Perce-Neige ManiwakiCarl WilliamsonBeastOpen2ndWe've survived a major crash into a pole, and a six minute penalty to fight back to second place! Great fun!
2012Sno*Drift RallyCarl WilliamsonBeastOpen3rd*Our first event with Carl and my first ever event in the USA. Extremely slippery, we've spun more times than we could count, but we had a great battle to come back to the podium and we did it!

2011Pacific Forest RallyMartin BradyBeastOpen3rdIf you don't love those unique, challenging mountain roads of British Columbia, there's something wrong with you! Our consistency starts to worry me… Blame the co-driver!
2011Defi ste AgatheMartin BradyBeastOpen2ndJust like someone smart said: "Rocky and Defi have to go." I'm sorry, but this event, the way it is ran now, makes the championship look immature.
2011Baie des ChaleursMartin BradyBeastOpen3rdThe Beast is now orange! Love Baie, love the fans, love New Richmond, love Quebec, love the challenge!
2011Black Bear RallyMartin BradyBeastOpen1stAs always, a great regional event on amazing roads. Was happy to drive the infamous Peanut stage, which claimed the alternator bracket, which fell and jammed the steering. Still finished well.
2011Rocky Mountain RallyMartin BradyBeastOpen3rdOvernight snowstorm before the D day. Since it never snows near Calgary at this time of year, no one had any snow plows handy. The rally turned into the most expensive waste of time in known history, as most of the stages were cancelled!

2010Rocky Mountain RallyChrissie BeavisBeastOpen4thTerrible conditions! Tons of wet snow made of very difficult to drive outsite the tracks. Very narrow mud tires (a031 or winter WR3) were the tires to have. We didn't have them.
2010Lanark Highlands ForestJen HorseyBeastOpen1stLanark area is famous for the 1974 WRC Rally of the Rideau Lakes that was held here. Too bad, this year's event was too short.
