One of my previous rally cars has arrived back in the Northwest after six years in California. The RX-7 is the car Carey Wright and myself took to a couple of Northwest 2WD championships. It’s just been brought by a friend of Careys and is back in North Bend.
It took quite a number of class wins and even a couple of overall podiums, while never what you could call pretty it only had a couple of did-not-finish in three years. One broken fuel pump and a close encounter with a deep ditch while leading the class at the Oregon Trail rally, a national championship event.
It’s fun to see it back. It needs a little work done to it, but the plan is that it will be ready for the season opening Doo-Wop rally next year. Of course it does need a co-driver…
