The May Friday Nighter was an interesting rally presented by Don Gibson of ORCA.  After a 45 minute odo check to Monroe, we took Ben Howard Road out to Sultan, went a little farther east, then used Old Pipeline Road to get back to civilization.  Fun roads and a fun event.  Special thanks to ORCA members Pat Biggar, Rick Ross, Dave and Kathy Sacry, Jack Heppes, Gary Coon, Ben Thompson Eric Hobbs, and Steve Roberts for working the event.

Wow, what a nice night for a rally, and what a great turnout!  Thank you all for coming!

Congratulations to Andrew Bacon and Brick Battersby for getting 2nd overall in the SOP category while winning the Novice class.  Only Masters John and Derris Humphrey bettered their score.  Congratulations to Steve and Linda Dull for getting a ZERO on their first rally!  And congratulations to Jordan Keffer who, after winning the Novice Championship last year, scores his first win in the SOP class.

Thank you to all the workers who made this event possible.  Mark Note and Richard and Delores Ranhofer worked checkpoint one.  Kevin Mullins, Steve Pfau and Vasco DePinna worked checkpoint two.  Mike Workman and Scott Margerum worked checkpoint three.  Competitors John and Derris Humphrey also served as the start control.  And Dave Treen made the trophies and dash plaques, worked pace and helped measure the rally.

Come on back next month for some more fun as ORCA puts on a trapless event.  Don’t for get the bring a new team get free entry deal!

 

March 11th presented a cool and damp night; what many of us experienced folks consider ideal rally weather.  The course meandered its way to the finish in Auburn, with checkpoints scattered along the way.  A few folks had some minor problems, but most seemed to have a good time.

Thanks to the crews provided by the individual clubs; Debbie Sjodin and Ardis Dull from ORCA, Mark Nolte and Jim Breazeale from RASC, Mike Workman and Scott Margerum from PSRC, Dave Treen, and of course, Rallymaster John Humphrey and his wife Derris, for supporting this event.

Come back and join us in April, where we will be going North.
