This past weekend we participated in the Rally Against Parkinson’s held by the Oregon Rally Group. The SCCA rally started with 2 regularity laps around Portland International Raceway, with the top speed limited to 75mph. Cars started every 30 seconds, and workers along the way timed cars as they went by. The goal was to match times on the second lap at each point. As with previous years, the rallymaster accepted bids for starting positions. Because no passing is allowed on the track, starting position #1 is much desired. This year, spot #1 elicited a $150 donation. We drove the Mustang on this rally. During the first regularity lap, the Mustang’s tires squealed around every curve — and there was a pretty lurid slide, too. Much to our dismay, while lining up for lap #2, we discovered that the rear passenger side wheelcover was missing. The rally had a great turnout. 34 teams participated in the rally, with 20 of the teams in the Novice class! In the end, the rally raised over $4000 for charity. Brandon Harer and Logan Rosenstiel in car #1 came in first with a score of 11. April Smith and Marcus Song came in second with a score of 15. We came in third with a 16.
