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 2019 Friday Nighter Results

By Leave a Comment

With Rod Johnson’s Course and excellent work by Rallymaster Charles Aggenbach, the October Friday Nighter was a resounding success. 14 cars ventured out, and only the novice team failed to return. They called to say they were OK, but going home. That saved us from having to go out there to look for them. There was a tie in Unlimited for first. Both cars got identical scores for the whole rally. None of the tiebreakers could break the tie. John Horn and Joe Meyer had trouble on the first leg, but then recovered to post a score of 21 for the rally, using their GPS operated rally computer. It is probably only a matter of time before they win with that thing. Debbie Sjodin and Ardis Dull won the Masters Class, while Jordan Keffer and Derek Ihler wrapped up their 2nd Championship by winning the SOP Class.
Congratulations to the winners and condolences to the non-winners. We hope to start this whole thing up in the Spring, so stay tuned. Would should have an announcement out in February or March. Thank you all for coming!

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!
