Olympus Rally Pics

Post by mike-tracy »

Kleinkid, Airgne and I all worked at Wreck Creek and Palix, here's a few pics I took. Sorry, technical and operator issues with my camera on the 1st day.

The pace car - a 91 Tleg: (worked great till the 2nd day when it wouldn't start right at the rally start)

Ken Block's Ford sounded evil, but as they tend to do, broke down (transmission failure).

A 90 Legacy L, NA:

91 SS:

One of my favorites, a 78 Volvo with a BF230 swap. This was one of their first races ever, but the guys were very professional. The 2nd day they had no-start issues, but managed to get running with less than 3 minutes to go.

Couple of FWD guys were there too: (Not pictured are a Saab, 2 ford Foci, a GTI & another rabbit)

I was working ATC at Wreck Creek on Saturday. There was a delay to clear a car that had crashed on Wreck Creek 1, prior to start of Wreck Creek 2. Dave Mirra, who drives on one of the two Subaru Rally Team USA cars(#40), got a chance to pose in front of my SS while he was waiting.

That's sweet. Dave Mirra was like my idol growing up riding bmx. The guy is phenomenal on a bike. His style is so smooth and dialed. Hope he does well in rally.
