controlled-speed endur-

lic highways from Riv-

The Great Race, which
is not a speed race, began
36 years ago and covers
2,300 miles of road over
nine days.
The “racers” will arrive
in Astoria via the Astoria

they stretch their legs and
grab a snack before con-
tinuing east on Highway
30 to their lunch stop in
Longview, Wash.
At each stop on the
Great Race, spectators will
be able to visit with the
participants and look at
the cars.
The rally event is
