Indeed you do get a great value at the June 23 rally,
Byron.  Thanks for the lead-in.  This event is truly
the Pacific Northwest's premier classic rally.  All
sports cars and sports sedans made before 1981 are
eligible, so anything with "Healey" as part of the
name is good!

This rally is also unique in offering three classes:
Standard, Novice, and Touring.  Even if you have no
clue about rallying, or just don't want to bother with
stop watches and timing-keeping, you can still enter
the Touring Class (with a follow-the-leader format so
that no one gets lost), and you'll be part of a great
event with so many different interesting cars, and so
many great people from all over Oregon and Washington.
 And this is not to mention the great roads you'll be
on, most of which I guarantee you have never seen
before.

The fee of just $75 includes:
Continental breakfast for two.
Lunch for two.
After-rally refreshments for two.
Souvenir shirts for both driver and co-driver.
Souvenir posters for both driver and co-driver.
Souvenir event programs for both driver and co-driver.
Dash plaque.
Trophies for drivers and co-drivers, five places deep
in both Standard and Novice classes.

PLEASE do yourself a favor and put it on your
schedule.  You will LOVE it!  Here's a website where
you can download the registration form:

This is NOT just an MG club event.  For example, I'm a
Healey guy and I'm the rally master!  I really hope to
see you there -- you'll want to make it an annual
"must do"!
