May 2018 Friday Nighter

By Leave a Comment

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!

April Friday Nighter Results

John Humphrey planned an interesting, if somewhat familiar route to 5 corners in Maple Valley.  The original course had some additional roads, but they were taken out as winter had left them less than optimal.  The course featured some interesting traps that were made extremely difficult by the dark and rainy night that greeted us that night.   Still most everyone had a good time.  We believe that the bad weather contributed to a below average turnout.  We’re hoping that improves in May and June.

Congratulations to the winners.  Thanks to the crews that worked the checkpoints.  The championships which now includes the Masters Class will be posted after the May Friday Nighter
