Raindrop Rally, Sunday April 17th

By Leave a Comment

Get your taxes done by Saturday (they aren’t due until the 18th this year!) so that you can run the Raindrop Rally on Sunday.  Rainier Auto Sports Club has been putting on the Raindrop rally for longer than I can remember.  The rally is always trap free and features nice twisty roads that make it a fun drive.  One thing the folks at Rainier like is a good drive, so come on out and check out this one.

This years event starts at the Cottontree Convention Center, 2300 Market St. in Mt. Vernon, WA. This years event will be 5-6 hours long, and will also end in Mt. Vernon. Registration is available on-line: http://www.rainierautosports.com/scripts/registration.php Registration for the day of the event will likely open around 9:00 AM with first car out at 10:01 AM. The entry fee is $40.

It’s a great way to spend a Sunday, and the weather is supposed to be great!

Come join us for a good time!

MARCH 16 FNR Results

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.

 

 

 

March Friday Nighter

By Leave a Comment

It’s the President’s Day weekend, and that means we’re four weeks away from the first rally of the 2016 season, the March Friday Nighter.  When we were working up the schedule a few weeks ago, we decided to let the NWRC put on the first rally, so you’ll be seeing teams from the various clubs working the event.  The rallymaster will be the NWRC President, John Humphrey, aka, the Evil Rallymaster.  Now John has put on his fair share of interesting and challenging traps, but I know for this event his plan is to break you into the new season gently, with a fairly straight forward rally so you all can make sure your equipment is still working.  It should be a 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. We’ve decided to continue the “bring a new team and your entry is free” special for the 2016 season. The rally will finish in the south end, and as soon as that’s reserved, we’ll announce the location.
