3 96's entered for Oregon Trail

[321go]

Thought it's worth mentioning in case you didn't notice that there's three (!) 96's entered for OTR this week. Wish I could go, but it's so far and I gotta work anyway. I've seen the red one before, but not familiar with the other two. I've been out there to work it a couple times, and competed in 09 in a GTI.

I worked service for a friend at OTR (thanks again to everyone for advice) and I was able to get a few shots of the 96s. I *think* they all belong to Garth Ankeny, who drove the wheels off his red 96. I didn't get a chance to learn much about the cars, only that the white/blue one has tons of S&R bits on it and the engine's making over 150 hp. Garth's car (the red one) has Wilwoods, but I seem to recall being told that the engine isn't terribly special.

This one was said to have all the S&R goodies, but was driven gingerly by a first-time rallier with his wife navigating:





This one sat out Sunday due to a failed clutch line.



Ankeny/Kraushaar 96:



Not Saab, but cool:

Rare Lancia Scorpion:



My friend's new-to-him '87 Subaru RX (AWD Turbo). It's apparently a pretty rare car (only a couple thousand or so) and got tons of attention at the event, as apparently it's got some rally cred:

Did that blue and white one come over from Sweden or Europe recently? There was one that looked just like it for sale over there for a while....was in the $20,000 range and was an ex works car...I think...might be able to find the ad...last time I saw the ad it said the car was sold.

Yeah, that blue and white one does appear to have all the goodies!

Not sure where the blue/white one came from. I'll see if I can get some more info...

Thanks for the pics, esp the RX and Lancia. I looked on a lot of other sites for pics of those and never saw any.
