Hello From Team Hume

Here we go for the 8th time – preparing to race Targa Newfoundland. You would think we be bored with this event by now! Absolutely not! We are racing the same four cars again this year.

There are more changes in this year’s roster. There are two new to racing faces this year.  Taking charge of car #1334 (the 2006 MINI GP) are Andrew & Ruth Thorogood. They plan to test the mettle of their marriage in September! Car #1333 (the 2013 MINI GP), will be driven by John Hume Sr. and Co-piloted by Christina Kroner. Car #333 will be Co-Driven & Co-Piloted by both Craig MacMullen &  Ron Bartleet

Yes, these two are also sharing both roles.

Centennial College has decided they want to give us four service crew this year. So we are in really good hands as far as mechanics go! And three lucky Centennial students get a real life experience in the pit lane for a week. We are eternally grateful for that effort from the College.

Lastly, we have a new support crew/photographer joining our team this year, Ralph Saulnier. He is no stranger to Targa, having been the “Official” photographer to the event these past many years.

With the required paperwork mostly done now, all hands signed up, we are anticipating our first practice track day at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport) April 24th.

Toronto event: Hume’s rally team will be hosting the Targa Booth at Motorama 2016 at the International Centre (south east corner of Airport and Derry Roads) Saturday March 12th. Pop in and pay us a visit!

All for now,

John Hume.
