2010 NWRC September Friday Nighter -Too Rude!!

The hosting club is PSRC & the rallymaster is Chris Ringhofer. And according to him "this will not be a drivers event!!" 
 
I know that Chris has been missing the 'call of the trap'.  He enjoys being challenged & after running the club checkout last week, I can assure your that there will be traps.  All I can say is that they are simple ones that no one should miss...if they pay attention. 
 
Goodness...can this be true? What? Can this be? Not a  'DRIVERS EVENT'? Oh no!!  All those folks who have been expressing concerns about being bored with the 'Drivers Events'....THIS ONE IS FOR YOU !!
 
Now for some words from the rallymaster on how he got into rallying.."I learned of tsd from Joel McLaughlin, yup. I just liked it and have enjoyed learning. Plus, chicks dig it."  And if you don't recall seeing him at any of the NWRC rallys...how about "Team NMC(not my car)".  You know...Chris & his rally partner are the ones who show up on Friday Nighters or Monte Carlo's in those fine looking BIG RENTALS....i.e.  Tahoe's, Escalades, get the picture..?

Alright...let's get to the event name..Too Rude. It will end at the Round Table Pizza in Woodinvile.

Remember, if you are competing as a SOP this year....make sure that you review the updated changes for 2010 SOP Championship, found after clicking the POINTS button & scrolling down to the related SOP portion.

See everyone at the Eastgate Park-Ride: 
Same starting location: at the back of the lot under the overpass.
Go to www.nwrally.com for further updated info..

Registration opens at 6:45pm & first car out at 7:31.

Entry fee is as follows: $20.00 for non-NWRC club members & a $5.00 discount going to NWRC Club members.

Peace. RALLY ON !!

2010 NWRC August Friday Nighter --August 13th !!

Sorry about this late notice...I guess I was overcome with euphoria...nice weather, clear skies, nice weather...ooops, forgot to send out the teaser...shame on me...hehehe.  Here you go.
 
Ok...so the rallymaster was overheard saying something about going out for a drive in the park.  How was I to know that he was talking about the name of his event? 
 
Goodness...can this be true?  What?  Can this be?  Yet another 'DRIVERS EVENT'?  Yehaw.
 
The hosting club is ORCA & the rallymaster is Dave Treen.  And according to him..."The rally itself has no traps. No fuss, no muss. It's scenic when there're no trees or fog."  Ok..that seems simple enough.
 
I have already extolled the virtues of Dave Treen as a rallymaster.  When he says...DRIVING EVENT...& that there are no traps...folks...you can't ask for anything more.
  

Alright...let's get to the event name..Just a Drive in the Park .   It will end at the Shakey's Pizza at Four Corners.

2010 NWRC July Friday Nighter --July 9th !!

Well, now that I have completely recovered from the July NWRC Checkout...I have some absolutely great news!!  This is a DRIVERS EVENT !!  Yup, that's right...absolutely no traps..at all.  And the reason I was recovering was because I was celebrating waaaay tooo much after the checkout....I was overcome with joy & laughter...everyone who ran the checkout had a great time.

 

Ok...enough....this month's NWRC Friday Nighter is brought to you by NWRC...& that means....John Humphrey (THE PREZ) is the rally master.  And when I asked him what happened to his normal traps...he just smiled & said..."I just wanted to go for a fun drive this time"...nice.  Could it be that this is THE KINDLER...GENTLER John Humphrey?  Wow.

 

Alright...let's get to the event name..SCHOOL IS OUT.   It will end at the Shakey's Pizza at Four Corners.
