The SVX Northwest Region will be joining the MGCC Tulip Rallye April 12th. Go to the NW Region Forum for full information. There you'll find a link to the NW SVX web site and from there a link to the MGCC host club web site. All the details are there, but here's the Readers Digest version:

SVX Rallyists can pre-register by mail with check for $10.00 (an entry form is available to print at the MGCC site) or you can register day-of-event for $12.00; just show up.

No club affiliation is required. (Car clubs participate for club points but we SVX's are considered privateers and participate in an "open" class.)

The course will wind around the backroads of LaConner and Mt. Vernon. You and your navigator will enjoy spectacular scenery while touring. (This is one of those things which is best enjoyed with someone in the passengers seat.)

This is a gimmick rally where questions take the place of time/distance checkpoints, so everyone is able to compete successfully. No previous rally knowledge or experience is necessary. All you need is a sharp eye and a sense of humor! You might want to pack a picnic lunch or enjoy the salmon barbeque put on by the Mt. Vernon Kiwanis Club at the end point while the scores are being tabulated.

Please remember to bring along some canned food for donation to Northwest Harvest.

Directions: From I-5 take exit 230 and head east on Highway 20. Take a right at stoplight onto South Burlington Blvd. Take a right at next light onto Cascade Mall Drive. Go straight until you see the white MG Car Club tent, where you will check in. All rally information and car number will be issued on the day of the rally.

I plan to be there by 9 ayem at the latest (probably earlier). As always, this event is a great way to have fun in your car with many like-minded car nuts! The car show that results in the Mall parking lot before the start is worth the trip alone!
