Amy Feistel - Co-Driver
Amy Feistel began her rally career as a crew member for Anders Green of Lina Racing. She took up a side job as trophy girl and began handing out trophies at many rallies, including such high profile events as the FIA sanctioned Cherokee Trails International Rally. Still, rally didn't quite seem exciting enough and Amy wanted to get closer to the action.

Following a rally in the heart of Virginia, Amy took a drive on the practice course in a rally car. She's been in a seat ever since! Fortunately, Feistel finds the rush of competition on gravel even more rewarding than a modeling career as trophy girl. Her professionalism, skill and light weight have her constantly entertaining offers to navigate.

Amy's professional experience include navigation for Anders Green, Lisa Klassen, and Andrew Havas. Amy also has experience in TSD rally. When Amy is not navigating, she organizes rallies for NASA Rally Sport. She volunteers as Registrar, Competitor Liaison, Secretary to the Rally, and assists with Timing and Scoring.

Quotes:

Well like a good rally driver Anders nailed the tree on the co-drivers side of the bumper. It made a lot of noise but the truck was still going so I didn't care. "
