OR: AROO Rally Cup Finale Rally and Tour
June 30 @ 8:30 AM – 7:00 PM
This event will be the AROO CUP Rally #4 and determine the season champions. However, EVERYONE in any kind of car is encouraged to sign up for this special rally, even if you have never done one before! The rally will not be difficult to follow, will visit some awesome roads, and will have about 25 checkpoints over 7 scored legs. We will also have a TOUR that follows the same roads but has no rally/TSD instructions, so drive for fun!
The rally will start at Cook Park in Tigard. 8:30 AM with cars on display (unofficial Concours and Coffee) and a Driver’s Meeting at 9:30 AM. The Tour Cars depart at about 9:45, and the First Rally Car Out at 10:00. There will be a Morning Break at Bald Peak Park and a leisurely catered box lunch at a picnic area in Yamhill County from 11:45 – 1:00 PM. The afternoon break is at Champoeg Park (near Butteville).
We have a special dinner planned that you just MUST stay for! The final part of the rally takes us into Butteville for dinner at the famous Butteville General Store. Arrival time is approximately 5:45 PM. Dinner is $35/person, payable at the table.
The Butteville General Store is the oldest operating Retail Establishment in Oregon!
The menu includes Santa Maria Tri-Tip marinated in burgundy and pepper, barbecued over oak wood, oak-grilled chicken thighs with mustard vinaigrette, garlic bread, potatoes with cheddar and green onion, mixed green salad with candied pecans, and homemade ice cream for dessert. Did someone say “YUMM”? Best of all, the restaurant is normally closed on Sunday but is opening just for us “car people”!
Pricing:
RALLY is $80/car (driver & navigator). Lunch is included, but dinner is separate.
LONG TOUR (with a Leader or on your own) is $80/car (driver + guest). Lunch included; dinner separate.
SHORT TOUR — We’ve created a SHORT TOUR starting approx 4 PM from the Dicks Sporting Goods parking lot near the Bridgeport Village that will rendezvous with the long tour at Champoeg State Park. The driving tour is about 75 minutes long, covering about 43 miles. From there, everyone will head to the Butteville General Store for their amazing dinner at $35/person.
This is a unique opportunity for all of us in AROO to experience this location, surrounded by fellow Alfisti and Car People! The best part of this tour is that it is free! If you choose to head to the Butteville General Store on your own without the tour, that’s OK, too! Just be there by 5:45 PM. Don’t miss this very special opportunity!
