OR: Monte Shelton Northwest Classic Rally XXVIII
July 28, 2016 @ 8:00 AM – July 31, 2016 @ 5:00 PM
The Alfa Romeo Owners of Oregon invites you to participate in the Northwest Classic Rally. Each year the Northwest Classic Rally visits a wonderful resort where we end Friday’s and Saturday’s rallying and touring with social activities including optional car washing, general tire-kicking, and banquet dinners, and we conclude the event on Sunday morning with the Awards Brunch. Our 2016 destination is The Oregon Garden Resort.
There are four great ways:
RALLY — The Northwest Classic Rally is a classic time-speed-distance road rally, and competitors may register for either of two classes: Standard or Vintage. The allowed equipment for each class is defined in the 2015 General Instructions, but basically, the Standard Class allows the use of the car’s original speedometer and odometer, clocks and watches, slide rules, and single-memory, non-programmable calculators. The Vintage Class allows only the original speedometer and odometer, plus clocks and watches.
Cars Eligible for the Rally A key element of this event is the enjoyment of older vehicles. The sights, sounds, and smells of classic or vintage vehicles form essential aspects of the event. Therefore, cars participating in the competitive rally must be sports sedans, sports cars, and other special interest vehicles manufactured before 1981. (Exceptions for cars manufactured after 1980 may be made by the organizers, in advance only, for cars that are not substantially different from cars of the same marque and model made in 1980. If the car you wish to enter requires an exception, contact the organizers by June 30 for a determination of acceptability.)
TOUR — Competitive rallying is not for everyone, but the Northwest Classic Rally is! If you would like to participate without the route-following challenges and the calculations necessary to remain “on time,” we offer the option to register for a tour only. The tour is conducted in a follow-the-leader format, generally following the rally route and sharing the same great roads, great scenery, and great food of the competitive rally. To register for the tour, please check the Tour box in the YOUR CAR section of the Registration Form.
Cars Eligible for the Tour Any car may be entered in the Tour, and we encourage you to get your favorite car of any vintage on the road in the Tour. This is also an excellent option for those still shopping for a rally-qualifying car, or for those whose rally-qualifying car is under restoration or repair.
VOLUNTEER — Another great way to participate is by volunteering. We have a wide variety of requirements for volunteers ranging from Thursday set-up, checkpoint workers, and food and beverage coordinators. Please get in touch with the Volunteer Coordinator for a list of available positions. Volunteers pay no registration fee, and they enjoy complimentary meals throughout their volunteer duties.
SPONSOR — Yet another great way to participate is via sponsorship. We offer three levels of support ranging from $1,000 to $300. In-kind sponsorships and product donations are also considered. Please get in touch with the Sponsor Coordinator for a Sponsorship Schedule and to discuss the possibilities.
