Black Bear 2024 was a great success! 17 entries and many volunteers made it an exciting rally. The organizers and the teams had their challenges on Loom Lake Road with a water splash (crossing?) created by a beaver dam. The road crew did their best to add some gravel, and in the end, added pylons on the road to guide teams through the safest part of the 30 foot crossing.
In the end, it was the team of Trevor Pougnet and Ryan Rouleau taking first by 18 seconds over Leo Urlichich and Sam Roxon, with Yohan Tessier and Marie France Demarais-Trepanier in third overall. Leo and Sam were top 2WD, with Mathieu Royer and Alyssa Voyzelle-Montminy in second and Mark Toufanov and David Bell in third 2WD.
We had a bbq at the end of the rally (many thanks to Martin and Teresa), then held the podiums and presented the awards.
Huge thanks to our sponsors, Trillium Steel, Morton Equipment and Jim Stevens CPA, for their support. Of course we were also really pleased to be able to present $5000 in cash prizes, courtesy of the Novus Group - Ontario Motor Sales, Clarington Hyundai, Marigold Ford, Durham Harley-Davidson, and Clarington Kia.
