April Friday Nighter Results

By Leave a Comment

The rally was a fun run through South Central King County.  We used several familiar, yet amusing roads, including the one lane bridge over the Green River Gorge.  The rally finished at Ferrelli’s Pizza in Maple Valley, where the pizza was good and the room was nice.  A great turnout of 19 cars kicked off the 2017 Rally Season, and the championships are on.  Thanks to John and Derris Humphrey for organizing, and all the folks who worked the rally.  Without them, we couldn’t put these on.

 

 

 

 

 

April Friday Nighter, April 14th

By 3 Comments

Well, the long off-season is coming to a close as we kick of the 2017 rally season with the April Friday Nighter.  As you all know, the weather has been extremely wet, and it has wreaked havoc on some of our favorite rally roads.  John Humphrey is the rallymaster this month, and he selected are really cool course, only to have some of the roads close.  So he altered the course, only to have some more roads close.  He altered it once again, and we checked the rally out Friday night.  The course is really fun and has a couple of easy traps just to make things interesting.  The rally is about two hours long and finishes at Ferrelli’s Pizza in Maple Valley.  Http://farrellispizza.com/locations/farrellis-maple-valley-wa/.  It will be a fun run!

All in all it should be a fun season.  We hope to see you out there!

October 2016 Friday Nighter Results

By Leave a Comment

october-2016-resultsOctober’s Friday Nighter by RASC had an interesting collection of roads made more interesting by varying weather conditions.  Rain and wind dominated most of the night.  There were numerous challenges for many, and the scores reflect that.  Leg 2 was thrown.  There is more discussion of that on Rainier’s website:  http://www.rainierautosports.com/events/2016/fridayniter/default.htm

Whether you think it should have been or not, it was.  It did have some effect on the outcome, particularly in the SOP class.  We made it NWRC policy many years ago that decisions made the night of the event were final, so the result stand as published here.  Congratulations to Marvin Weaver and Jack Heppes who both nailed down the SOP Championship for Driver and Navigator Respectively (although they are not part of the same team.  Congratulations to Aaron and Annette Nelson, who survived their worst night of the season to collect the Novice Championship and move up to SOP for next season.

It was a fun year!  We’ll start making plans for 2017 and announce them in February.  Have a great off-season, and we look forward to seeing you in the Spring!
