AN AMERICAN KID MAKES GOOD IN RALLY NEW ZEALAND.(Motorsports)(Ramana Lagemann)
Byline: WES RAYNAL
If you're a rally fan yearning for an American to reach the pinnacle World Rally Championship, keep an eye on Ramana Lagemann during this year's SCCA ProRally season.
Who?
Ramana Lagemann. He was the only U.S. driver entered in the Rally New Zealand (AW, April 21). Lagemann has a full-time ride on Subaru of America's (SOA) multimillion-dollar SCCA ProRally team. He looks like America's best shot at putting a full-time driver in the FIA's WRC.
Lagemann is a 23-year-old, six-foot-four-inch kid who grew up outside Boston. He graduated with a BA in English from Boston College and says while in school he had hoped to "do what you do, work at a car magazine, but I'd always wanted to try rallying.''
Lagemann confesses he was a terror on Boston's streets. "I was lucky. I drove like a maniac for years. Finally, I had one really bad wreck. I say I was lucky because nobody was hurt.'' He figured his too-aggressive driving needed to be "channeled.'' More important, his mother thought it was time Lagemann redirected his driving habits.
So in 1999 Lagemann went out and bought a clapped-out '85 VW Golf rally car and entered it in the Maine Forest Rally. He didn't finish. "The Golf was terrible, the suspension was completely shot. But I was hooked.''
