5-21-09: The Heads-Up Northwest Dyno day is back from the dead!! It will be happening on June 6th, the Saturday before our next race as a warmup for the big 2-day race at PIR on the 12th and 13th. We will be out at the first Beaches cruise in of the year June 3rd at PIR passing out fliers and signing people up so if you want to be sure you're on the list or need a specific time of day to be able to make it show up to the cruise and sign in. We will be putting a HARD cap at 50 cars, and may not even get that many in due to time constraints, and it will be first come first served starting on the 3rd at PIR....

5-13-09: FINALLY!! May 9th we were able to get our first race of 2009 in the bag, the weather was perfect, the track was green and the turnout was pretty good considering that it was a reschedule and several racers who were there in the rain the previous weekend were unable to attend. The full writeup can be viewed HERE

4-21-09: In an effort to make our group more effective and professional Heads-Up NW has implemented a Board of Directors. We had our first meeting last night and discussed business structure and direction for the remainder of 2009 and preperation for the 2010 season. Members at this time are: Eric Eddy, Terry Ryan, Tim Robards, Brian Robards, Nate Webster, Eric Reich, Vulcan Mclellen, Jeff Hyrciw and Walter Grosse. We will be meeting once a month, if you have any issues or ideas that you would like brought up at the next meeting let one of us know.

4-16-09: If you have a car and would like to run in a specific class but don't fit the written rules please contact either Terry Ryan or Eric Eddy for clarification, some flexibility will be possible as long as there is no distinct advantage over other racers who do comply with the written rules.  Our goal here is Parity, not exclusivity.
