The MG Car Club NW Centre (MGCCNWC) in the Puget Sound area puts on this fun gimmick drive every year in the beautiful Skagit Valley. They get hundreds of participants ever year. I’ve seen as many as 80 MINIs/Minis at one point. It seems to vary each year with the price of fuel and the flower production. Still, the drive is super fun!
For the last 30 years, the MG Car Club Northwest Centre has hosted the Tulip Rallye, an automobile tour of the Skagit Valley region of Western Washington State. This year on April 21st, 2012, the rallye starts in the Mount Vernon area, but you never know where it may take you from there. Through colorful tulip fields, windy country roads or scenic shoreline drives, it’s everything you need for a beautiful daytime tour of the region.
We have designed this event so that each car club, with a minimum of five cars entered, will be eligible for a first place prize to be awarded to the top performer within their club. Individuals not associated with a particular car club will compete in the “open†category.
The Tulip Rallye is intended to be a fun event. It’s not a time/speed/distance event, but a light hearted gimmick rallye with trivia questions written into the tour guide. It’s fun for the whole family. Some clubs now make this rallye their April driving event.
There are restaurants along the tour route, but they are often very crowded, so we recommend that you pack a picnic lunch to eat along the way.
We look forward to your club’s participation in the 31st Annual Tulip Rallye.
Here is the REGISTRATION FORM.
Thank you and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Take a “Ride for her Life”
February 19th at Thunderhill Raceway, Willows 9:30AM-3:00PM
Shasta MINIs, O2 Motorsport and MINI Thunder III will be giving rides in race cars on February 19th at Thunderhill Raceway, Willows to raise money for baby Kamila Marie Sandoval who was born with VSD – Ventricular Septal Defect. Come make a donation and get a ride in a race car, on a race track with a High Performance Driving Instructor.
It’s been an emotional roller-coaster for Lorena Sandoval and Gustavo Perez after their twin girls were born more than a
month premature last September. But nothing prepared them for the news that one of the girls was born with a heart
defect.
Baby Kamila was diagnosed with VSD, or a Vetricular Septal Defect. She has two holes between her two heart
chambers that need to be repaired. The six hour open heart surgery was performed on January 23rd at the Sutter
Memorial Hospital in Sacramento where she’s been living since she was born.
But the struggle to get young Kamila healthy is more than just emotionally draining, it’s also expensive. Between the
multiple trips per week to Sacramento, and taking time off from work, the family is struggling. “It’s been hard you know,
especially during these times”, Sandoval said.
The family is receiving some financial support from the American Heart Association. If all goes well, Kamila should be able to come home seven to 10 weeks after her surgery. “I just want her to be a normal little girl after all this is done”, explained Sandoval.
Come and support the cause. Make a donation and get Hot Laps on a Hot Track in a race car.
