Summer time is always a popular time of year for rally events and we have a load of them in store as summer winds down and the cool winds of fall start to blow. Over the summer we have enjoyed some very successful rallycross events at PIR, especially the event in conjunction with Rose Cups weekend. Our annual trek to rallycross in Chehalis is underway as of this writing but it always a favorite. Coming up in August is our rallycross in Astoria on the 26th and we are trying to find a new date in September or October but the schedule is pretty tight. Check the website for more information. August is the opening of our busier Road Rally season. One of the Portland area staples is the August 11th Mountains to the Sea Rally. This year the event runs from Milwaukie to Lincoln City and should Rally Season Stays hot in august! By John Elkin be a scenic run to the coast. While not an SCCA event it is a legendary event among the locals. September 9th is the Rally Against Parkinson’s charity road rally. This annual event is an SCCA Tour event and features regularity laps around PIR, a very simple road rally and it all ends at Pearson Field Air Museum in Vancouver, WA. The $25 entry fee includes the rally, dinner and a silent auction. The silent auction is chock full of great items; check out the Facebook page under 2012 Rally Against Parkinsons. October 5-7 is the grand-daddy of road rallies, the Oregon 1000. Starting in Portland the event runs down the length of the state to an overnight in Coos Bay before returning to Albany with an amazing dinner at Novak’s Hungarian Restaurant. The organizers always have some great surprises in store for competitors. In stage rally it will be late September when the Rally America National circus comes back to the Pacific Northwest with the Olympus Rally in Olympia, WA and points west. This is the season ending event for 2012 and should see some great competition in several classes. Late October is the Mount Hood Rally, one of the most scenic stage rallies in the country. Summer and fall are prime time for wringing out the cars on a good rally event, be it rallycross, road rally or a stage rally. Don’t let this time of year pass you by, get out there and RALLY!
