STPR 2014 – 80’s Powered Rallying!

by Andrew Moore - June 5, 2014

Our fourth and final feature from the 2014 STPR focuses on a few of the unique vehicles and drivers that participated.

One of the reasons STPR draws such is a crowd is because of the variety of cars that enter the event. From a 2014 Subaru WRX STI to a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle – you never know what you’ll see at the rally.

Home Page met with Charlie Tameris and Tony Zanni, along with their 1987 Porsche 944. Their team had a great start, but encountered a major problem on Friday night, requiring them to rebuild the engine and travel 2-hours to pick up a new head gasket. Their overnight repair paid off, as they were able to continue racing on Saturday.

Driver Jeff Carl gave us an overview of his 1981 Mazda RX-7, a car he’d wanted ever since spying it at a rallycross event. After making a few modifications to enter the Group 2 class, Jeff was pumped and ready to go.

Finally, we met with Gary DeMaris and Matt James who introduced us to their V8-powered 1985 Ford Ranger GT50. Gary has previously worked as a sweeper for the STPR, but this year was his first time entering as a competitor. He also explained that in 2010 he had a major stroke. DeMaris worked on the Ranger as part of his rehabilitation and an effort to get back in shape.

To learn more about these drivers and their vehicles, watch the video above!
