We Have Made Some Noticeable Achievements

From the R.E.

Amateur organizations like SCCA survive with the help of many volunteers who en-joy and respect the mission of the organi-zation. Oregon SCCA is no exception. Go to any of our events, Solo, Rally, or Road

and professionally running the events.

We do it because we love our sport and the joy that participation and camaraderie brings. Whether it’s replacing cones in

Race, and manning a check point in rally these are all jobs that need to be done.

The same is true at the Board/Executive level. The tasks are different and the joy of creating and tracking budgets or negoti-ating insurance contracts maybe not be on the same level as watching cars compete. But, these tasks must also be done if the organization is going to survive.

I have served as Regional Executive for the past several years and have enjoyed getting to know many of you personally and in representing the interests of our organization. During that time we have made some noticeable achievements:

health

Rose Cup giving us more control over the event

racing organizations

cations with club members

These are all good results that speak well for the work of your Board of Directors. Now, it is time for me to step aside and give others the opportunity to lead. This year we brought several new members onto

the Board. They have shown they have the talent and initiative to carry on but we will also need a new Regional Executive. Over the next several weeks I will be working with the Nominating Committee to inter-view candidates for the position.

If you are interested you can contact me or any member of the Board to discuss what is involved.

It has been a rewarding experience par-ticularly because it has put me in contact with many more members than I would have met otherwise. We are lucky to have the opportunity to indulge our passion for cars and racing. Let’s make insure our fu-ture by bringing in more talent to run this great organization.

Thanks for your support in the past. I look forward to hearing from some of you about directing our future.

It is the idea that in the 21st century we can celebrate, cherish and nurture a grass roots community sporting event so unique in its nature and character, that to host it anywhere other than Portland Interna-tional Raceway would be impossible. To miss a year would be sacrilege.

And, it’s about the ability to change, to strive and make the weekend better each year for participants and enthusiasts alike.

results were posted live via Twitter and Facebook, so that fans at the track who were unable to hear the loudspeakers, and those at home, could stay current on who was in what car, in what class, and in what position. Race results and pictures on your phone! Who envisioned that 50 years ago? Fluge Global Adventures was

what I hope will become a regular feature at all of our events in the future.

Returning for the tenth year as event sponsor were Jay Culbertson and Temp-Control Mechanical Corp. Also return-ing to contest the Rose Cup feature race were Portland’s Nick Fluge and teammate Matt Crandall from Milwaukie, Ore. who appeared on the scene earlier this spring with a pair of wicked-fast Mustangs.

But, even as they lined up on pre-grid for the feature race, there were questions about reliability. And, more than one driver had questions about the 45 minute race length which, coupled with parade laps, might stretch the fuel range of these thirsty ground pounders before the check-

the lead from his front row slot alongside polesitter Crandall, only to lose it to the hard charging Crandall on lap two. Fluge regained the lead on lap six and held it for three more laps.

But, the reliability gremlins struck once again. Crandall saw a telltale puff of blue smoke rise from Fluge’s Mustang, and recognized immediately a power steering failure.

lane.

If there had been one less lap under the earlier full course caution, the results table could have been quite different.

So there you have it - an aging and well-aged annual weekend that rarely fails to surprise and impress. It may still be something of a secret to the rest of the country.

For those of us intimately involved in the sport, we have some ideas and a vision for sharing the largess of this motorsports bounty with others. Stay tuned.

Rallying with Chris & Kristen

Chris Hale, Rally Manager and Kristen E. TaborEmail: [email protected]

Welcome to the Hot Months of Summer

It always seems to surprise me when we get into summer, when the weather turns from mild-cool to hot and sultry.

What doesn’t surprise me is the range of rally events on tap for summer—so with-out wasting any more time, here’s what’s happened and what’s happening.

We had our annual National RallyCross weekend on June 26-27. There were 23 entrants to the National event, which en-compassed both days, in addition to our usual huge crowd of 100 entrants for Sun-day alone.

This year on Saturday, we decided to stick with our traditional run-work format, since we had just enough people to make it hap-pen. We had a few extra volunteers for the key positions, and all National entrants were able to get eight runs in on Saturday.

The sun was shining but with judicial use of the water truck, we were able to keep the dust down. On Sunday, the national entrants ran with their regional class coun-terparts. THE course was fast and still technical for both days, which kept the “grin factor” high.

So who won? Well, there was a surprise in

with Rob Files coming out of semi-re-

tirement to knock off reigning champion Andy Sharples for the top spot, both in class and overall. There was a close bat-tle in Prepared All with regular hot shoe Charles Morrill edging Scott Kovalik—

after a long string of bad luck mechanicals and tire problems!

Jason Staats ran away with the Stock All

but 2wd), Chris Sample squeaked by Kris Lilly with 1.612 seconds to spare over 12 runs. Chuck Jewell rocked the Prepared Front class after a disappointing DNF from Robb McInroy.

Jeremy O’Harrow was the sole competi-tor in Prepared Rear—guess everyone else was too afraid of his mad skills! Erik “Goose’ Laudenslager romped through the Stock Front ranks, running very cleanly to take the win.

Year-to-date regional scores are posted on www.oregonrally.com as well as full re-sults from not only our National weekend but also all events to date.

Speaking of technology, we need to give an enthusiastic “tip of the helmet” to the Hales, father and son, for their real-time scoring system. We are able to show all

ish, and it is a big hit. You can watch the races developing online at scoring.oregon-rally.com, or with your smart phone at the same link. Very cool!

Our next RallyCross will be a joint ven-ture with Off Camber events in Chehalis, WA on August 7 and 8. Saturday, August 7 will be Off Camber’s charity event ben-

Sunday will be an Oregon Rally Group points event at the same location. Come out for the kids and stay the night for the points! As always, check the ORG website for more info.

So what else is going on this summer? Well, besides the continuing Friday Nighter Series with Cascade, don’t forget about the ever-exciting Mountains to the Sea—a tour rally starting in the Portland area and ending on the coast.

This year’s event ends in Rockaway beach with the traditional BBQ and party on the sand. This event is written by veteran TSD rallyers Russ and Katy Kraushaar. It will be a great event, and one not to miss!

ORG’s Rally Against Parkinson’s will be taking place on September 11 this year. Last year’s RallyMaster John Elkin is helming again this year, so you just know it’s going to be great. In addition, it bene-

So bring your donations, bid on car 1, and come enjoy two regularity runs around PIR before heading off into the hills for a great and easy tour event!

Gosh. Lots going on, for sure! Neverthe-less, do not forget to stay cool, stay hydrat-ed, and enjoy summer in whatever manner you like!

…that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the rights and left of outrageous fortune, or to take heart against that sea of troubles, and by bypass-ing, end them.

Good grief. (apologies to the Bard). As some may know, we’ve changed the race courses for August and September to use

favored the chicane, though there were some voices in favor of the “no chicane” course.

This debate no doubt has been raged year after year in Oregon Region, and for this year the “chicane” has won out. We en-courage your continuing input into these kinds of decisions, but reserve the right to make them in our magisterial discretion. The one thing for sure is that: “You can

and you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” ( thanks, to Abe Lincoln).

We also welcome input and ideas on sched-uling generally. Each year we’ve had two-

days generally include a double National, or a Regional/National combo, or a double Regional. We’re looking at ways to adjust the schedules so that drivers who can only do one day can have a full day including

achieve that in our July National just con-cluded.

If we adjust the group combinations, it’s

a two-day weekend with two events. Driv-er preference is a big force in these deci-sions, and we have heard input from those who’d like a more compressed schedule in some cases. Any thoughts and opinions out there? From where I sit, everything’s on the table.

My primary goal in this year’s schedul-

known). That said, it’s time to be creative and look toward the rest of the year, and

can in our road racing arena. Your input is welcome, and no matter which directions are chosen, “the buck stops here” (Harry Truman).

Sheesh. Enough with the clichés already.

Rose Cup and the July double National

the Rose Cup weekend entry was some-what light as was May. Congratulations to Matt Crandall on his Rose Cup win.

The Flat Out Racing Double Nationals pre-sented by Speed Sports and Fluge Global Adventures entry was pretty good, and the weekend had lots of energy. Good to see the Nick Fluge “Tarzan” Mustang doing well in both events.

Amazingly, the Friday of the July weekend

the wet a.m. practice and p.m. race. As one of the combatants, I’ll say it was pret-ty crazy out there. Guess the good weather fortune of the year had to end sometime.

Speaking of SRF, it’s no secret that your

correspondent runs in that class. There-fore, any warped perspective on our part

in your leadership (RE, RRD, Area 13 Di-rector e.g.) are SRF runners and our (my, anyway) perspective on things may be somewhat different than the driver com-munity out there.

For sure, the arrive-and-drivers (self in-cluded) get a different view of the week-ends than those who self-wrench and whose class competitions and race group-ings differ. So: from this chair, the more you talk to me the better. I’m trying to become conspicuous (not notorious) on the race weekends to get to know more

keep hearing from you, good and bad, on our directions.

this far, have you?

For August, our schedule is more like the April race weekend with the Regional groups to the fore. Come out and play! Enjoy the sunshine. Hopefully.

We do have the option in August of run-ning another one-day licensing school on the Friday test day, for drivers with sig-

At 16 years and 334 days, Rickli needed a special exception from race

One of my most memorable cartoons as a kid is with Disney’s Goofy. It shows Goofy as an easy-going and very likeable character. He’s great with family, friends, and co-workers. Then something happens to this carefree character when he gets into his car, drives to the on-ramp of the freeway and proceeds to enter the speeding chaos.

At that moment, he transforms into a sort of Jekyll and Hyde personality. He crouches down in the seat, leans forward, puts

behind. For some reason, I always think of this SCCA driver having similar traits of mind and behavior, our good friend, Gordon Jones.

Gordon has always had a “need for speed”. On back roads, he would drive his street car as fast as he could and get away with it, until they cranked down on the speeding laws. He took up desert racing motorcycles. Unfortunately, this ended when an-other racer rode over him at the start of a race in Bend.

He went home with a broken jaw (in three places) and an injury arm (ouch!). He began taking his BMW out on track day with the BMW Club and eventually got into autocrossing. He con-tinued to autocross for 6 years before going onto road racing. Thirty years later, Gordon is still feeling the “need for speed” racing his white BMW 2002TII. He said his most memorable race was a SCCA race, “It started raining on the pace lap and no one was on rain tires. I won my class.” Gordon has always been a great contender on the track and has even had the opportunity to compete at the SCCA Runoffs.

He taught driving skills and worked as a turn-worker at the recent inaugural race at Oregon Raceway Park. Gordon is a true race enthusiast.

Racing aside, Gordon has been a Caterpillar mechanic, engineer-ing on a sea-going tugboat, building maintenance engineer and

-ture plans for racing are, Gordon said, “I’m 66 years old. I plan

work”. I’m sure Gordon will always be involved with racing.

So the next time you’re at the track, say “Hi” to Gordon and don’t worry, he’s pretty mild off the track. Just look out for him when on the track…

Todd Harris, of Portland, Ore., made fast work of the SCCA

Tooele, Utah, during the June 5-6 SCCA Pro Racing Weekend.

Harris ran a near-perfect weekend in the No. 24 Pro Drive Rac-ing School Spec Racer Ford, earning two pole positions and leading all 44 laps at the doubleheader weekend on his way to a pair of victories – by 3.643-seconds during Saturday’s race, and by an even larger 5.918-seconds on Sunday.

For good measure, Harris also turned the fastest laps in each race, lapping the 2.2-mile East Course at Miller Motorsports Park with a time of 1:46.476 (74.383 mph) during Race One, and a race-best 1:48.520 (72.982 mph) during the second race of the weekend.

Finishing second in both races was Tray Ayres, of Woodstock,

third-place, ran just behind Harris on both days, but didn’t quite match his pace in his No. 7 Ayres Racing Spec Racer Ford over the pair of 48.4-mile races. The races averaged 73.234 and 72.449 mph, respectively.

Through six of 10 rounds on the season, Ayres has ridden his -

Complete results and point standings are available at www.sc-capro.com.

Editor’s Note: In addition to Harris and Tipton, other regular Oregon Region Sports Car Club of America Spec Racer Ford regulars on hand included Gary Manchester, Lee Douglas, Steve Fogg, Todd Butler, Howard “Duck” Allen, Jeffrey Neiss, Todd Lamberton and, Johnny Humphreys.

After six rounds of the SCCA Pro Racing Spec Racer Ford championship series, Harris is in third behind Ayers and Rettich. Tipton is 11th and Fogg 17th. Douglas lies 18th and Manchester 19th, while Lamberton is 23rd, Butler 31st, Niess 35th, Allen 38th, Humphreys 40th.

Season Half Over? Solo Nationals Coming Soon!

Solo II Report

It’s mid-season already. Wow!

Our July 10 and 11 events will be events #4 and #5 of the 2010 season. I think that makes these events pivotal in points chas-es. A few classes are developing favorites, but with six events remaining anyone can take the top spot.

After these events, it’ll be a different story. With the forecasted good weather, I hope to see you in Packwood!

Remember that the Packwood ProSolo and National Tour events are coming up soon. These events are big time fun. They take a bit more commitment than a normal event weekend, but there is a good chance you’ll be racing in a larger, more competitive class than at our normal weekend events.

If you haven’t been to one of these events before, pick one and try it out. I guaran-tee you’ll make new friends from other regions.

To top it off, the Packwood Tour event is

Championship event.

Solo Nationals is also coming up soon. The event is again being held in Lincoln, Nebraska. The site is incredible, the com-petition is close, and the people are awe-some. If you want to attend this year and have not attended a National Tour or Divi-sional event so far this season, make sure you get to Packwood for the National Tour event.

In addition to the experience with the event format, participating in this event will save you serious money when you register for Nationals.

Last in the “lots going on” bin… Solo has been approached to work a Teen Street Survival event at PIR in October. These events use autocross elements to teach teens good driving habits.

Emphasis is not placed on speed, but rath-er on car control skills.

Oregon Region has hosted these events at PIR in past years in conjunction with the Porsche Club. These events have been very well received by the public and the class is always full.

Driving instructors will be pulled from both the road racing and solo communities to help the young drivers hone their skills. We will need to have some volunteers to donate their day (or part of their day) to setup course, work course, or instruct.

Save this date: October 3rd. I’ll be call-ing around looking for a dozen or so vol-unteers for the school as we get closer to the date.

In addition to our focus on competition and enjoying our sports cars, SCCA is an educational organization.

The Teen Street Survival program is strongly supported by SCCA’s National

is guaranteed to break event and I believe that is still the case.

If you are available for this event, please consider coming out and giving back to the community.
