Show Me Rally 2021 SS5 Martin Cobb West Conte/Huebbe Matthew Conte 2021-11-13 | 7th fastest overall time on a fun short twisty stage that seemed to suit the underpowered Fiesta a little better. Unfortunately the camera shifted up a bit making it harder to see the steering wheel motion.

We both got out of the car a few seconds later, and are perfectly fine (in all areas!).

2013 Perryville Rally - Stage 7 - Conte/Conte Matthew Conte 2013-10-28 | We attack the seventh stage of the Perryville Rally in Perryville, MO.

Seemed when we landed after the first yump it knocked something and made it louder... so... yea. Enjoy!

Perryville Forest & Farm Rally - SS1 - Conte/Erickson Matthew Conte 2011-11-25 | My very first true rally stage. Learned quickly that the car does not like to be launched. Incredibly slow engine, 2.2T with the turbo removed, so the low-compression pistons are still in there. Foot is planted to the floor more than 75% of the stage....
