Team biography

Hampton Bridwell and Josh Katinger are relative new comers to the sport of rally racing, having participated in the sport for just three full seasons.  Hampton first purchased a Toyota Celica All-Trac from Jason Priestly in 2003 and went about getting it back into competition shape - and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today the team is campaigning a Rally Spec Focus. The unmodified, Ford SVT tuned Focus runs both the Production Class in the USRC series and the NASA Spec Focus Series. In 2007, the team took 2nd the USRC Production Class Championship and placed 2nd in the Spec Focus Championship.

Over the past three years the duo have competed in a range of events sanctioned by Rally America and CARS (Canadian Association of Rallysport) and NASA Rally Sport events on the East Coast.   Rallies the team have participated include  Rally New York, Maine Forest Rally, Rallye Défi, SandBlast Rally  and the Cherokee Trails Rally.  The team is supported and crewed by Quattrohaus of Newark, New Jersey.

When not competing in rallies Hampton is a partner in a branding firm in Wilton, Connecticut and enjoys spending time with his wife and two children.

Josh owns his own company specializing in e-commerce and search marketing and resides with his wife in Brookfield, Connecticut.
