10TH RALLY EDITION: OCTOBER 8 – 18, 2025

#152

Chaos Finders

This is Samantha and Becky’s fourth year competing in the Rebelle Rally. Early in 2020, a friend told Sam about Rebelle. She followed the preparations of the Rally teams all year and watched the competition in October 2020. Inspired by the event, she quickly asked Becky Brophy to be her teammate, and they started training with Rebelle U to compete in 2021. Prior to this, the pair had very little experience off road, and no experience with map and compass navigation. The 2021 Rally was a huge success for Sam and Becky, returning home with a top 10 finish and “Rookie of the Year” award. Rebelle Rally 2022 was full of new challenges for Becky and Sam but they were able to land a podium finish. For 2023 Rebelle, they earned a stage win in a Bone Stock 4Runner. This year Samantha and Becky are looking forward to expanding their experience with TOTAL CHAOS FABRICATION mid travel suspension in a purpose built 2024 Toyota Tacoma.
