    For those of you who didn't know Jeff, or his connections to MNSubaru, he was a rally competitor, drove a few different Subaru WRX's, including one built by Mike Wray (LegacyPGT), was a competitor at this years X Games (though his car broke down in practice, which just happened to be the car Colin Mcrae drove the year before), and his co-driver was Scott Putnam, who has organized the RallyFests at the various Subaru dealerships around the Twin Cities (most recently at Morrie's 'Tonka).

    That stinks, he was pretty cool too and I know he and his company helped out with rally quite a bit.

    Damn, there's a lot of folks up in the UP around there that are grieving too. I knew of the Moyle's from their real estate and construction biz before I ever knew Jeff was a rally guy. When I found out I realized that every third person with a Subaru in the UP is a rally guy.

    I hope we can dedicate this year's POR to his memory :(
