Having never attended any stage rallies, I really didn’t know what to expect when I showed up to Portland International Raceway last Friday week. If you caught my story detailing these first two stages of the Oregon Trail Rally, you’d know that my expectations were blown away, meaning that Saturday’s racing had a really, really high bar to hit.
And yet, the racing on Saturday was far and away more fun to shoot, more fun to watch, and simply all-around more fun to experience than Friday at the race track.
从来没有参加任何阶段的集会，我真的不知道上周五我出现在波特兰国际赛道上时会发生什么。如果你发现我的故事详细介绍了俄勒冈小道拉力赛的前两个阶段，你就会知道我的期望被吹走了，这意味着星期六的比赛有一个非常非常高的标准。
然而，周六的比赛对于拍摄而言更加有趣，观看起来更有趣，而且比周五在赛道上更加有趣。
Obviously, a chief cornerstone of any rally is the fact that the cars must be operated on public roads to get from stage to stage. This means hundreds of street miles (touring stages) over the course of the weekend, plus the violent abuse of driving on dirt trails and jumping your car on the backroads.
显然，任何反弹的主要基石都是汽车必须在公共道路上行驶才能从一个阶段到另一个阶段。这意味着在周末期间有数百英里的街道（旅游阶段），以及在泥路上暴力滥用驾驶和在后街上驾驶汽车。
Saturday morning started off on the Oregon side of a city called The Dalles at parc expose, where all of the cars entered in the rally are required to show up for a public viewing.
星期六早上在一个名为The Dalles的城市的俄勒冈一侧开始，在那里参加集会的所有汽车都需要出现在公众面前。
The first stage of the day would be The Dalles uphill course, which takes place on closed-down public roads. Have you ever dreamed of taking the backroad home at top speed without worrying about pedestrians, traffic, or the police? That’s basically what those entered in the Oregon Trail Rally get to experience.
当天的第一阶段是The Dalles上坡路线，该路线在封闭的公路上进行。您有没有想过以最快的速度回家，而不必担心行人，交通或警察？这基本上是那些进入俄勒冈小道拉力赛的人所体验到的。
As none of these roads were designed with high speeds and power-slides in mind, there are plenty of sheer drops which lead hundreds of feet into various canyons.
由于这些道路都没有考虑到高速和动力滑道的设计，因此有大量的垂直落差导致数百英尺进入各种峡谷。
Travis Pastrana is no stranger to danger, and kicked off the first stage with an epic entry to the corner we positioned ourselves at.
特拉维斯帕斯特拉纳对危险并不陌生，并在第一阶段开始了一个史诗般的进入我们定位的角落。
This right-hander was the last sharp turn on the course, which led into a quick left-hand hairpin.
这个右撇子是球场的最后一个急转弯，这导致了一个快速的左手发夹。
From our vantage point we could see the turn, the hairpin, and a quick straight which led to an S-turn that brought the cars to the finish line.
从我们的角度来看，我们可以看到转弯，发夹和快速直线导致S形转弯，使得车辆进入终点线。
A couple of hours flew by, and before we knew it the last safety car, or ‘sweep’ cruised through to clear the course. We’d be back in The Dalles later this afternoon for the downhill run, but for now we were off catch some cars in service.
几个小时的飞行，在我们知道最后一辆安全车之前，或者“扫一扫”以便清理航线。今天下午晚些时候我们将回到达尔斯（Dalles）进行下坡运行，但是现在我们还没有赶上一些正在服役的汽车。
CHAPTER TWO
Service

Driving further north into Washington State to Goldendale, we finally caught up with the teams as the front-runners were heading out.
再向北行驶到华盛顿州到Goldendale，我们终于赶上了队伍，因为领先者正在前进。
As we had to wait for everyone to finish Stage 3 (the first of the morning) before we could leave, most teams had already completed the next stage, had been tidied up at service, and were off to Stage 5.
因为我们不得不等待大家在我们离开之前完成第3阶段（上午的第一天），大多数团队已经完成了下一阶段，已经整理了服务，并且已经进入第5阶段。
As we hung out in service some stragglers rolled in from Stage 4, and various work continued on the cars which were already present.
There’s really no time for goofing off, as you’re required to report to the start of each stage within one exact minute, otherwise a time penalty will be assessed.
当我们在服务中闲逛时，一些落后者从第4阶段进入，并且已经存在的汽车继续进行各种工作。
实际上没有时间进行游戏，因为您需要在一 分钟内向每个阶段的开始报告，否则将评估时间损失。
Service was a good place to poke around the engine bays and get a good look at the cars.
服务是一个很好的地方，可以在发动机舱周围逛一逛，看看车子。
At any race series my favorite cars tend to be of the older variety, and this Starlet fit the bill perfectly. How cool is it to see this little Toyota tearing up a mountain pass?
在任何比赛系列中，我最喜欢的车型往往是较旧的车型，而这款Starlet完全符合这个要求。看到这辆小丰田撕毁山口有多酷？
As the next stage was a tarmac course, teams were prepping the cars accordingly and popping on some sticky rubber.
由于下一阶段是停机坪课程，因此团队正在准备相应的汽车并弹出一些粘性橡胶。
At service I also spotted his Merkur XR4Ti, a really odd hatchback which is basically a Ford Sierra.
在服役时我还发现了他的Merkur XR4Ti，这是一款非常奇怪的掀背车，基本上是福特赛拉。
The only other example I’ve ever seen was at the Long Beach Grand Prix, during the historic races. While this proper race car is definitely one for a future look, I wouldn’t have minded grabbing a few more shots of its funky-looking road-going cousin.
But time was against us, and it was quickly back to the truck to beat the cars to Stage 8, The Dalles downhill.
我见过的唯一另一个例子是历史性的比赛期间的长滩大奖赛。虽然这款适当的赛车绝对是未来的一款，但我还是不会想要再多拍一些其时髦的公路表兄。
但是时间对我们不利了，很快又回到了卡车上，将车撞到了第8阶段，达尔斯下坡。
CHAPTER THREE
Downhill
下坡
Again we were greeted with the unguarded drop-offs of Washington’s slow and windy unpaved roads.
华盛顿缓慢而多风的未铺砌的道路上，我们再次受到无人防守的落客的欢迎。
While a few cars had been left in service due to mechanical failures and electric gremlins by this point, the drivers still in certainly weren’t letting up.
虽然在这一点上由于机械故障和电动车的问题，一些汽车已经投入使用，但驾驶员仍然肯定没有放松。
And, it must be said, the views out here are simply phenomenal.
而且，必须说，这里的观点只是惊人的。
With 50-plus cars tearing through the course, it’s crazy to see how many large rocks come to the surface. Naturally, the drivers pay no mind and plow on, hoping not to cop a puncture.
有50多辆汽车在整个球场上撕裂，看到有多少大型岩石浮出水面，真是太疯狂了。当然，司机不介意和犁，希望不要穿刺。
There’s really no other motorsport that can compare to rally, and hiking around to take in all the views and grab some shots of the widely varied machinery that made up the entry list can simply be summed up as an awesome time.
实际上没有其他赛车可以与拉力赛进行比较，并且可以远足以吸引所有观点，并且可以轻松地将各种各样的机器组合起来作为一个很棒的时间。
It’s a bit like a drift event and a grip race combined, and it is simply so good to watch the cars rip by.
这有点像一个漂移事件和一个握把比赛相结合，看着汽车撕裂真是太好了。
I made the trek back to our vehicle as the last of the cars cruised through, and then it was off to a different point in the middle of nowhere for Stage 9, which would be the last of the day.
当最后一辆汽车驶过时，我跋涉回到了我们的车上，然后在第9阶段的第9阶段，这将是最后一天的不同点。
CHAPTER FOUR
Oak Flat Road
橡树平路
We had about an hour and a half to burn as the cars made their way to and from other stages, service, and back out to the boonies. But once the first cars came flying through, the time spent waiting was well worth it.
我们有大约一个半小时的时间来燃烧，因为汽车从其他阶段进入，从其他阶段，服务，并回到了boonies。但是，一旦第一辆汽车飞过，等待的时间非常值得。
As the sun went down, Oak Flat Road didn’t disappoint, and I tried to capture as many different vantage points as I could on the stage.
当太阳落山时，Oak Flat Road并没有让人失望，我试图在舞台上捕捉到尽可能多的不同有利位置。
I’ve always maintained that motorsport has a certain visceral beauty to it, but this is multiplied tenfold when the events take place out in the open countryside. I know it’s a righteous pain for the Oregon Trail Rally organizers to petition to have these roads closed for a day, but the end result is an awesome event with unmatched visuals.
Eventually the sun began to set, the last of the cars finished Stage 9, and everyone rolled out to the final meeting point: Pete’s Pizza in Goldendale.
我一直认为赛车运动具有一定的内在美感，但是当事件发生在开阔的乡村时，这会增加十倍。我知道俄勒冈小道拉力赛组织者要求将这些道路关闭一天是一种正义的痛苦，但最终的结果是一场无与伦比的视觉效果。
最终太阳开始落山，最后一辆车完成了第9阶段，每个人都推出了最后的会面点：Goldendale的Pete's Pizza。
Cars were required to stay here until a certain time to give fans a chance to come by for one last look at them. Again, as we had to wait for everyone to finish, the cars which started first were already long gone. By this point in the day teams were tired, hungry, and ready for a long night’s rest.
汽车被要求留在这里直到一定时间让粉丝有机会最后一次看他们。再次，因为我们不得不等待每个人都完成，首先开始的车已经很久了。到了这一天，球队累了，饿了，准备好长夜休息。
However, for the teams whose cars needed repairs, a long night of wrenching was ahead after dinner. Sunday would be another day, although it sadly wouldn’t be one I was able to attend.
然而，对于那些需要修理汽车的车队来说，晚餐后会有一个漫长的夜晚。星期天将是另一天，虽然遗憾的是它不会是我能够参加的那一天。
In the end, Subaru Rally Team USA ultimately finished 1-2, with driver David Higgins and co-driver Craig Drew taking first place overall. After three days of racing and 17 stages, just 59.4 seconds separated the first place team from Travis Pastrana and his co-driver Robbie Durant. Rounding off the podium for the national entries was McKenna and Jordan in their 2011 Ford Fiesta.
With the highs of the Oregon Trail Rally behind us, I’m already thinking of how to better shoot it next year, as well as looking around the country for other rally events to attend. It really is that good, and if you’ve never experienced an event first-hand I’d urge you to change that.
最终，斯巴鲁拉力车队最终以1-2战胜对手，车手大卫希金斯和副车手克雷格德鲁获得了第一名。经过三天的比赛和17个赛段，仅仅59.4秒将第一名球队与特拉维斯帕斯特拉纳和他的副驾驶罗比杜兰特分开。McKenna和乔丹参加了2011年福特嘉年华的全国比赛。
随着俄勒冈小道拉力赛的高潮落后于我们，我已经在考虑明年如何更好地拍摄它，以及环顾全国各地参加其他拉力赛。这真的很好，如果你从未亲身经历过一次事件，我会敦促你改变它。
