June Friday Nighter — Cancelled

By Leave a Comment

For the third month in a row, the Covid 19 shutdown claims another Friday Nighter. It looks like we may be able to have a rally this summer, but the situation is still uncertain. Cascade Sports Car Club in Oregon is putting on Saturday rallies. They are social distancing rallies with no interaction with the organizers. Registration and payment are online. They mail you the route instructions and the checkpoints are operated by a phone app, and they email you the results. We are looking into emulating that. In the meantime, we are hoping that the vaccine that is being developed works and we can all get back to rallying the old fashioned way.

We will keep you posted.

May Friday Nighter ***Cancelled*** 5/8/2020

By Leave a Comment

Covid-19 continues to impede our rally season, along with other activities. For May, with no restaurants open to finish a checkout and no certainty that one will be open for the night of the rally, we again had to cancel the rally. We are hoping for June and we will let you know as soon as we know.

APRIL 2020 FRIDAY NIGHTER

By 1 Comment

Hi, all! John has pretty nice course all picked out, after the February floods receded. Now COVID-19 has reared its ugly head and we are following the guidelines put in place by the state authorities. We are cancelling the April Friday Nighter with the hopes of running the event later in the year.

Our schedule is available here. As we did last year, we are taking the month of August off.

We look forward to seeing you in May, if COVID-19 cooperates.

October Friday Nighter

October 11, 2019

Friday, Friday, FRIDAY!

This Friday, October 11, we will wrap up the 2019 NWRC Rally Season with the October Friday Nighter presented by Rainier Auto Sports Club.  Charles Aggenbach is the rallymaster and here is what he said about the event:

Route Master Rod Johnson has refreshed his novice friendly “Ghouls and Goblins” TSD for 2019 and left it in the hands of Rally Master Charles Aggenbach and the rest of the Rainier Auto Sports Club to execute.  As before it will be “A Basic Friday Nighter to end the season”.  Teams will have to be on their toes as scores are likely to be low and competition tight.  We’ll start at the Eastgate Park & Ride at 14200 SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue like normal.  Registration opens at 6:45 PM and the Driver’s Meeting is scheduled for 7:10 PM.  First car is out at 7:31 PM.  The cost is $20 per car with NWRC’s “bring a new team and you (or them) get a free entry” promotion available.  Competitors will meander towards the south ultimately ending at Athens Pizza & Pasta at 959 East Main Street in Auburn about 2 to 2.5 hours later.  Menu available at https://www.athenspizzaauburn.com/.

Heading south, ending in Auburn.  Sounds like a good time to me! This rally will be entirely in the dark, so be sure to bring a light to read with.

We will be awarding the NWRC Championship Trophies after the event.  If you are in line to get one, please attend!  If you aren’t in line to get one, attend anyway.  We are going to have some fun!
