The Wishbone Alley Gazette
Oregon Trail (60% National)
52 teams started, something like 32 finished. No injuries. Nice event.
Not much interest shown by RASC members.
April Friday Nighter
Tom Palidar and the Torque Steerers club did a rather long (70 miles?) rally out near
North Bend/Snoqualmie. Tom said he was pleased that his little traps caught up a few
complacent teams. He also "broke in" 6 novice teams.
The Simons¹ won SOP; Rod and Phillis Johnson took 3rd. Steve Willey/Eric Horst garnered
3rd Unlimited/9th O¹erall in the Rover
June Club rallys
Simpson has approved use of it¹s roads, and the June 10/11 weekend returns to familiar
roads.
What with all the RASC folks going on to other activities, this may be the first local
stage rally in decades without a "RASC Crew".
