ClubRally Titles Northwest rally drivers swept the top spots in weekend racing through the Harbor area woods. Redmond rally veteran Tim Paterson and new co-driver Donald McDaniel captured the Doo Wop Series Crown, while Tacoma's Eric Eaton and Kenny Almquist claimed the 2000 ClubRally National Championship event. ClubRally features street legal cars, with safety and performance modifications, racing one at a time over forest roads that have been closed to normal traffic.
Competitors race against the clock, usually at one-minute intervals.
This year the Doo Wop event hosted the 2000 ClubRally National Championship. The top three season points finishers in each of five competition classes from around the country were invited to participate in the Championship. Competitors from Arizona, Nevada and California traveled north to battle teams from Washington and Oregon, but at the finish it was a northwest sweep. Eaton and Almquist in a 1999 Subaru Impreza turbo started slowly but came on strong to take the win in the 4WD open class. Olympia's Dave Hintz and his brother Rick had a happier run to take the 2WD Group 5 class title in their Mazda RX-7 turbo.
