Monte Shelton Northwest Classic Rally 2009

AROO Tri-Club Track Day: Friday, June 26. Hosted this year by the BMW Club, sign up at: http://bmwaca.motorsportreg.com/

On June 26th BMW ACA will host the annual Tri-Club day. This year’s Tri-club is a lapping day that is structured with run groups like our normal DE Days. However, there will not be an instructed novice group for this particular event. The run groups will be: Advanced, Instructors, Intermediate A and Intermediate B, based on engine displacement. For those drivers who have not been on track since the repaving or request an instructor, the BMW Club will have a group of instructors available to ride with you to help familiarize you with changes to the track. The majority of our Instructors will run in the advanced group and provide additional instruction for drivers at all levels. We (the BMW Club) are also going to ask a small number of Instructors to run with the two intermediate groups. Their focus will be to help us continually evaluate and develop drivers on track. Our intent is to offer driver education at all levels, and to provide ongoing driver education and promotion for all drivers.

Northwest Classic Rally
.

AROO completed its 20th annual Northwest Classic Rally in August 2008. The principal sponsor of the rally is the Monte Shelton Motor Company and it is a benefit for the March of Dimes. This rally draws entrants from throughout the region. In addition to Alfa Romeo, other marques typically included are Bentley, AC, Bugatti, Mercedes, Healey, Jaguar, Lancia, Aston Martin, Porsche and others. We run a traditional Time-Speed-Distance rally over two days with fine cars, great roads, glorious vistas, grand resorts and generous people having fun, enjoying their cars and helping a worthy cause. One entrant who has rallied a wide range of cars in the USA, Africa, Europe and Australia told us that the Northwest Classic is the rally he enjoys the most. It is the benchmark he uses to judge all other rallies.
