1996 D & N Bank Lake Superior PRO Rally

Rally Round 10 SCCA/Michelin PRO Rally Series

Houghton, Michigan

October 18-20, 1996

Once again it's Rally Time in the north woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Lake Superior Region of the SCCA along with D&N Bank is sponsoring "The D&N Bank Lake Superior PRO Rally" Round #10 of the SCCA/Michelin PRO Rally Series, it will also count toward the North American Rally Championship. This year's event will be three events in one, a full National along with two separate Coefficient 2 Divisional events. We have changed our format a little this year switching to a one day event all on Saturday. We hope this will make it easier for some of you to make the trip North. After the "winter that would not end" many of our traditional stages to the north are not usable this year. To make it a challenge of driving skills, rather than car preparation we have gone with a "kinder gentler" route this year. We will be running in Baraga, Houghton, Ontonagon and Iron Counties mainly in the Ottawa National Forest.

Headquarters

All Rally events, Headquarters, Registration, Scrutineering, Press Headquarters, welcome party, and the awards presentation will be at Dee Stadium in downtown Houghton. Dee Stadium can be reached by following US 41 into Houghton, as you come into Downtown Houghton US 41 will split, take the first right and follow the road down the hill behind the Citgo Quik Food Mart. The Dee is the large Ice Arena on the Right. The OFFICIAL NOTICE BOARD will be located at Dee Stadium. Official Notices may also be found at MTC's during the Rally.

The Route

The entire rally will run south of Houghton this year in Baraga, Houghton, Ontonagon and Iron Counties mainly in the Ottawa National Forest. The National event has a total of 427 miles with 162 stage miles and 265 transit. The first divisional "Lac Vieux Desert Rally" will be stages 1-7, 59 miles, and 105 transit miles. The second divisional "The Ottawa Challenge" consists of stages 11-16, 74 miles of stage and 111 transit. There will be plenty of time to change drivers and make repairs between the events. The road surfaces will be mostly smooth twisty gravel. Two stages will be very sandy were ruts may be a problem. All the surfaces tend to get very slippery when it snows. Trees have been known to fall down and block the entire road.

Vehicle Insurance and Waivers
It is the competitor's responsibility to assure that each team member (Driver, Co-Driver, and all Service Personnel) personally signs the SCCA Waiver Form and display the required wristband throughout the event. Service personnel not displaying the wristband are not permitted to work on a competition vehicle. Violation of this requirement will result in penalties for the competing team.

Competitors are reminded that they must show more than just proof of insurance at registration. You will have to prove that the Rally car and all service vehicles have current minimum liability insurance coverage of $100,000/$200,000/$50,000 which meets or exceeds the vehicle insurance standards established and required by the SCCA.

Service and Service Areas
Each Service vehicle and its personnel must be registered. All service crew members must sign a waiver at Registration. Infractions of the rules by service crews will cause penalties to be assessed against their competing cars. This includes traffic infraction, drug and alcohol use, and other items specified in the NPRR. Maps of service areas will be provided in the service crew packets, and in the competitor route book.
Servicing will be limited to those areas specified. A route will be provided between service locations for those teams wanting a course to follow. Several sections of the route will be specified as FUEL ONLY. In these locations, we request that ONLY those vehicles requiring fuel actually stop, and all others continue on the transit. These locations may be on narrow roads.
Fuel will be available in Houghton, and at the L'Anse service. Fuel will not be available after the L'Anse service. Crews should make arrangements accordingly.

Technical Inspection
Technical inspection will be held in Dee Stadium per the event schedule. At least one member of the team must be registered to receive Tech. forms. The car may be brought to Tech. by any crew member that is registered. Cars entering a divisional event must have passed their annual Tech. Annual inspections will not be preformed at the event. Log books will not be issued at the event. If you require these please make arrangements with the Chief Scrutineer, Andrew Whelan before the event.

Miscellaneous
Starting Order will be determined on the basis of a seeded draw (Sec 12.4 NPRR) on October 17, 1996. A Reseed will occur after stage 7 based on two stages. Competitors may pick up their route book at registration. Competitors are responsible for completeness of the book. Additions and corrections will be posted on the notice board. Those with numbers already on their cars please make a note of it on your entry form if you wish to keep that number for this event.

If you would like to participate in the press stage on Friday, please make a note of it on your entry form and include a team bio.

Once again it's Rally Time in the north woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Lake Superior Region of the SCCA along with D&N Bank is sponsoring "The D&N Bank Lake Superior PRO Rally". This year's event will be three events in one, a full National along with two separate Divisional events. There will be 162 stage miles and 265 miles of transit. We have changed our format a little this year switching to a one day event all on Saturday. We hope this will make it easier for some of you to make the trip North. After the "winter that would not end" many of our traditional stages to the north are not usable this year. To make it a challenge of driving skills, rather than car preparation we have gone with a "kinder gentler" route this year. We will be running all to the South in Baraga, Houghton and Iron Counties mainly in the Ottawa National Forest.

D&N Bank is our local sponsor again this year and through their generosity we are able to offer some very nice Thank You T-shirts and hats to all our workers.

We are seeking former, current and prospective members of the U.P. Rally Family of workers to assist during the event. Slots are open for Stage Captains, Start Controls, Finish Controls, Stage Marshals, Radio, Medical, Banner Tape, Scoring, Sweep, Advance Cars and Layout Crews. You can see that it takes hundreds of volunteer workers to put on this event. You are the key to a smooth running Rally. It may sound kind of strange, but everybody that comes out to help really enjoys themselves.

If you'd like to join us in all the fun, contact the Chief of Controls, Jay Topping at 1061 E. Vernon DR., Flint, MI 48503, 810-239-1313.

D&N Bank Lake Superior PRO Rally
Houghton, Michigan
Round #10 - 1996 SCCA/Michelin PRO Rally series
Press Notes #1
October 19, 1996 - 8:00 AM
 
1.  Welcome to Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the third
    running of the Lake Superior PRO Rally, round #10 of the
    1996 SCCA/Michelin PRO Rally series.  Actually, including
    the 45 years that the rally was called the Press-on-
    Regardless event, this is the 48th running of a rally in
    the U.P.  Unlike many of the past events, there will be
    no Keweenaw  stages this year - home of such famous
    stages as Brockway Mountain and Mandan Road - because of
    the beating the roads took over the harsh winter.  This
    will be a one-day-only, Saturday rally which will get
    underway at 2:01 PM today from the D&N Bank headquarters
    in Hancock.
 
2.  While the weather will be cold, with the high not
    exceeding the low 40's F, it is not supposed to snow or
    rain during the rally.  Lows Saturday night could reach
    into the 20's F, meaning ice in the muddy spots and cold
    service crews.  But then again, it was supposed to rain
    on the first night of the rally last year, and we
    received 18 inches of surprise snow.
 
3.  31 cars - 21 national cars and 10 divisional-only
    entries are here for the event, a little low for a rally
    in the UP.  Several entries were all set to be here, but
    last minute glitches have prevented their arrival.
 
    --The new factory Saab 900 of Sam Bryan/Rob Walden lost

      was a new powerplant installed after an engine let go
      at the last event in Ohio, and team is not sure what
      went wrong.  They have already headed back to Seattle

    --After a myriad of problems this year, the Tom Ottey/Pam
      McGarvey Hyundai Elantra is parked for the rest of the
      season and will not make it to Lake Superior.
 
    --After their hard crash at the Sunriser event last month
      in Ohio, the Pete Lahm/Jimmy Brandt Datsun 510 is a
      total loss, but Lahm has bought the former John Golden
      510, and should have his new car at the Olympia event.
 
    --The Ed Maklenburg/Barbara Steencken Dodge Omni did not
      answer the bell as a back-ordered fuel pick-up part has
      sidelined the car, but the POR veterans are here to
      work the event.

D&N Bank Lake Superior PRO Rally
Houghton, Michigan
Round #10 - 1996 SCCA/Michelin PRO Rally series
Press Notes #2
October 19, 1996 - 8:30 AM
 
4.  We start the class rundown with the overall championship
    points chase, which really ended in Ohio last month when
    Henry Joy/Mike Fennell in the Mitsubishi Lancer edged
    Carl Merrill/John Bellefleur in the Ford Escort Cosworth
    to win the event.  While points leader Paul Choiniere
    finished third in his Hyundai Elantra, Merrill really
    needed to win the event to stay in contention.  All
    Choiniere has to do is start the event this afternoon -
    which means getting his out-time from the D&N Bank
    parking lot - and the two starting points he will receive
    will clinch his sixth national championship in seven
    years and his fifth title in a row.  We will have to
    search the record books, but this accomplishment might be
    unprecedented in the annals of U.S. professional
    motorsports.  Legends Richard Petty, Mario Andretti,
    Peter Gregg, Ivan Stewart, Steve Kinser, Mark Donahue,
    Kenny Bernstein, or even Choiniere's car owner and step
    father John Buffum - all dominant in their sport in their
    day - never accomplished that feat.  He still has a way
    to go, however, to match Buffum's 11 national title and
    108 national rally wins.
 
    Still left to battle for second place overall are Merrill
    and Selcuk Karamanoglu's Eagle Talon, which has already
    clinched the Production GT title, but is only two points
    behind Carl in the overall standings.
 
    The overall co-drivers championship has become a battle
    because Choiniere's regular co-driver, Jeff Becker, is
    battling a herniated disk.  Becker's bad back has kept
    him from sharing in Choiniere's last two rallies, and
    Merrill co-driver John Bellefleur and Karamanoglu's
    navigator Yorgi Bittner will pass him in the points at
    this event.  Right now, Bellefleur has 89 points, Becker
    90, and Bittner 91.
 
5.  The points race in two other classes is over as well,
    with Mike Whitman clinching the Group 2 title in Ohio
    despite a significant off-course maneuver which cost him
    15 minutes.  Whitman's Datsun 510 has been unbeatable
    this year, winning all five national rallies it entered,
    and using co-drivers Ben Bradley and Paula Gibeault along
    the way.  Ms. Gibeault currently leads the co-driver
    points, with none of her closest competitors running here
    this weekend.  Whitman is using rally veteran Dave White
    as his navigator this weekend, and Jimmy Brandt, Lahm's
    regular co-driver, will be navigating for Open class
    competitor Gail Truess, and will not earn Group 2 points
    here.

6.  The other class besides Group 2 which has already been
    decided is Production GT, where Selcuk Karamanoglu and
    Yorgi Bittner have smoked the competition, winning one
    event overall (the Doo Wops in Washington in March) and
    going undefeated in the five national rallies they
    entered.  Even more impressive was the fact that they
    finished second overall three times, third overall once
    and fourth overall once at those rallies, often matching
    or surpassing stage times of the Open class cars which
    have as much as 150 more horsepower than Selcuk's Eagle
    Talon.  For the second straight rally, Selcuk has moved
    into the Open class in order to gain a little more speed
    without the Production GT restrictions  in order to gain
    the maximum amount of overall points.  He is currently
    only two points behind second-place Merrill.
 
    For this event, there are two fast contestants in
    Production GT.  Regular Porsche driver Mike Hurst will be
    driving Rob Bohn's Mitsubishi Eclipse, with Bohn in the
    navigator seat, while the Steve Gingras/Bill Westrick
    Mitsubishi Eclipse - which almost won this event overall
    last year - is the other contender.
 
7.  In the Production class battle, there are two contenders
    for the national title, and they are only ten points
    apart.  Right now, the Lon Peterson/Bill Gutzmann Kia
    Sephia has the upper hand, with a recent victory at the
    coefficient three event at Prescott two weeks ago.  The
    Jim Anderson/Tad Ohtake Honda Prelude VTEC has had a
    terrific year as well, winning the class three times to
    keep the entry in contention.
 
    Two other Production cars - both relatively new entries,
    but both fast drivers - could have an impact on the
    results.  The Jay Kowalik/Jeff Wheeler Honda Civic, which
    finished third in a strong field in Ohio, is back for
    this event, while the Al Kaumeheiwa/Craig Sobczak Dodge
    Neon finished right behind Jay in fourth.
 
8.  The Doug Shepherd/Pete Gladyz Eagle Talon is always a
    force here in the Upper Peninsula, with Shepherd being
    responsible for helping former organizers lay out many of
    the stages the racers will run.  Shepherd has always run
    well here, only to suffer disappointment near the end of
    the event.  Although they are not running the entire
    series this year, a Shepherd win here would not be a
    surprise.
