be good in class and Subaru will take you rallying
All we had when I was in school was the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program. Off in the UK, if you behave well and show marked achievement, Subaru and Prodrive will take you rallying. Seriously. Six students from Grace Academy were able to tour the Prodrive facility, check out the new STI and meet some of the engineers and drivers. Then they were off to watch the Welsh GB Rally. I mainly only got "talks unnecessarily in class" so I doubt I would ever get anything, but if I had the chance to go behind the scenes of a rally race I may have improved my behavior. Although, in the US we would probably be stuck going to a NASCAR race

I wasn’t lucky enough for the Pizza Hut Book It! Program, all my teachers took the certificates home and used them up themselves. Rallying would have made me strive for straight A’s.

It was me who was lucky enough to be taken on this trip. To be honest i think we recieved this prize as a good publicity stunt by both Grace Academy, I.M. Group, Firelli and Subaru. Not something i was a fan of, and said i would happily give up my place to somebody who will actually enjoy it. We watched the actually rally for about an hour the whole weekend. We was also given loads of gifts which i kindly give to a man who was obsessed with subaru! All in all it was okay- don’t want to sound ungrateful but it really wasn’t my thing, to be chucked down wales with people i didn’t hardly know, none were at my age (as i was the eldest- nearly 18 at the time). Huge publicity stunt to make them all look good, because really, who gets a prize so big for just doing well in school?

Not a bad deal. I think all I got was a pizza party after turning in all those stupid cereal box tops.
And that pizza was probably leftover from the Book It program. Small world.
