The next morning, we got up early to attend the Parc Expose held in downtown Wellsboro. At the expose you can expect to find the cars and their drivers lined around the town’s green where they are available to talk and sign autographs. There are also vendors selling food along with rally apparel and merchandise. This is certainly a must see if spectating at STPR.
For the VIP pass holders, it was time to go back to the fairgrounds in order to catch the bus that would take us to the VIP only spectator area located on Leetonia Road. Situated on an elevated bank, the spectator area gave vantage of a downhill road into an off camber sharp left hand turn. We would only be here for one stage but it was worth it. With glowing brakes, each car had their own style for negotiating this turn and the 523 car driven by the Hansen brothers didn’t even bother to stop, plowing straight thru the safety tape. Luckily the safety marshals did an excellent job and kept everybody at the stage safe while still providing and excellent view of the action.
