Twelve teams entered and five teams ran the June 7 Saturday Series Rally. Perhaps the Portland Rose Festival kept many of our “regular” rallyists away on this busy weekend.

July 19 Saturday Series Rally

Rallymaster Bob Morseburg is offering a masterful Saturday Series Rally on July 19, starting at Dealers Supply in nofthwest Portland, ending in Sandy. The July rally’s title, It's Just 8th Grade Math, may be a harbinger of what’s to come. The rally route will be easy to follow. Some trickiness may be expected, especially where time keeping is important (and time keeping is important all the time in time-speed-distance road rally).

Cascade Sports Car Club's Road Rally program (aka Cascade Geargrinders) offers beginner-friendly time-speed-distance road rallies, lasting three to four hours, starting and ending in the Portland area. These events are open to club members and non-members, and to all types of vehicles. Road rally is a game you play while going for a drive in the country.

Register for the July Saturday Series Rally by midnight July 16
