At the Start - the Little Creek Casino in Shelton, WA
Jim wishes Open Class champion Paul Choinere good luck at the
start of the rally. Paul is campaigning his brand new Hyundai
Tiburon this year.
Henry Joy's Open class Mitsubishi Lancer. (Yes, that's snow in
the background!)
Ralph Kosmides' Toyota Supra in Group 5 looks fast!
Sam Bryan and Rob Walden's Saab 900 was entered in Group 5. The
day before the rally, Jim and I visited Rob's shop in Seattle
and saw the last minute preparations being made to the car. Go
Rob!
During Stage 1 - Some-Rainy-Forest-Road-on-the-Olympic-Peninsula,
WA
There was a mix-up about the spectator area for the early
stages, so a group of us hiked about 1/4 mile up the first stage
and ducked into the woods. We came back with several vicious
slug bites, yet another Bigfoot sighting, and most importantly
- these pictures!
The Hyundai Tiburon zooms by. Paul would go on to drive a flawless
rally (as usual) and win by over 3 minutes!
Here comes Ralph's Supra...
and there he goes! On his way to victory in Group 5.
While things look promising as they flash by, Sam and Rob weren't
so lucky later. They DNF'd when the Saab's gearbox gave way on
Stage 4. Get 'em next time guys!
Rui Brasil is piloting this open-class Quattro. He will finish
3rd in class and 5th overall.
