Friday, Friday, Friday!!!  This Friday, May 11th, ORCA presents the May Friday Nighter.  The Rallymaster is Jack Heppes.  Jack likes drivers events, having authored some 9 SnoGit Monte Carlo Style Rallies.  All were outstanding courses, really fun to drive.  I expect that will be true of the May Friday Nighter too.  That’s not to say that Jack might not sneak in a trap or two, but even if he does, the roads will be excellent.  Jack has promised us a Northerly route, ending at Brava Pizza in Snohomish.  The weather is supposed to be good.  We should have daylight until almost 9:00.  Jack promised it would be fun!  It stands to be a very good time!

Registration for this novice oriented event opens at 6:45 PM at the Eastgate Park & Ride Parking lot in Bellevue (14200 SE Eastgate Way). The drivers meeting is at 7:10 and first car out will be 7:31. The entry fee is $20. Don’t forget that we’re running the “bring a new team and your entry is free” special. The rally finishes at Brava Pizza and Pasta, 120 Glen Ave in Snohomish.  Come on out and join us for a good time, and bring your friends!

After a way too long 5 month hiatus, rally season gets started again with the April Friday Nighter on Friday, April 13th.  John Humphrey is the rallymaster and has designed an entertaining and not too difficult course that meanders south of I-90, ending in Maple Valley at Farrelli’s Pizza.

We are a week away from the last Friday Nighter of the Season, the October Friday Nighter.  This month, Rainier Auto Sports Club is putting on the event, fresh from their highly successful Nor’wester rally that drew 37 cars for 3 days of rallying.  The rallymaster is Steve Richards, who has participated in the rally scene for a very long time.  Steve says that the rally is very straight forward, a typical RASC no-trap drive in the woods, or at least as many woods as one can find with paved roads these days.  The rally will last about 2 hours and will end at Pizza Hut, 429 128th St SW, Everett, WA 98204.  Steve has picked some entertaining roads, and we’ll all have a good time.

Since it is the last rally of the year, the SOP and Novice Championships will be decided and trophies awarded.  The top places are up for grabs, so if you are in the running, don’t miss this event.

This coming Friday, September 8th, just 7 days ahead of RASC’s Epic 50th Anniversary Nor’wester Rally, PSRC presents the September Friday Nighter.  Rally courses are secret until they are run, and sometimes that means that multiple rallymasters go down some of the same roads.  Mike Workman is the rallymaster for this event and he has designed an excellent course up through the Snoqualmie Valley.  Now, the last three rallies have criss-crossed the same area, so regulars will have seen at least some of the roads in the past few months.  What will make this rally more challenging is that it will be mostly in the dark and possibly in the rain.  The sun will set on Friday just about the time you will end the odometer check transit zone.   Be sure to bring your map light!

We checked out and measured the rally last week and the course is very entertaining.  Prepare to have fun!  The rally ends at Brava Pizza and Pasta, 120 Glen Ave, Snohomish, WA.
