Team N*Synchro find their rally rhythm
When things don’t go according to plan, you ask yourself “What would the boy bands of the ’90s do?”
Actually, nobody does that but Corey Finkelstein and Tom Pokorny didn’t let car trouble with Tom’s 1999 Fiat Coupe keep them from Targa 2024 just hours into the road trip to Newfoundland. They had chosen the Fiat because it came from the Nineties and fit the boy band theme they cooked up for their team, N*Synchro. Instead, the southern Ontario team turned around, transferred the decals to Corey’s 2018 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG and hit the road again with Tom’s patient wife. The Mercedes was a solid choice as it’s fast, surprisingly nimble and reliable.
This is Corey’s third Targa and Tom’s second. In 2023, they entered Fast Tour as the Eh! Team but this time they mean business competing in the tough Targa 1 division.
When they are not blasting along the roads of the Rock, both Corey and Tom work in the classic car insurance business. Outside of work, their lives revolve around car culture, attending and organizing car shows and events when they aren’t working on or driving their eclectic collections of vehicles. They love Targa so much they have become volunteers, helping to promote the rally to other gearheads like them.
