Planning is underway for Cascade’s 2026 road rally season. Monte and Victoria Saager plan to remain at the helm as Geargrinders Chair. However, they need help and they need a succession plan for handing the reins over to younger folks.

If you have an interest in seeing Cascade’s rally program continue through and past the 2026 season, please step up and let us know how you can help. rally@cascadesportscarclub.org
