ASNW Auto Cross Nationals:  October 9-10 - 8AMs
Last event of the season and it's going to be a good one!  ASNW Nationals (formerly known as Octocross) will be a 2-day event that will determine the winner's based on their best time from Saturday and Sunday added up.  There will be special awards for each class.  Oh and did I forget to mention that it will be held at Spokane County Raceway?  You read that right; Auto Cross on the full road course!  Here is a word from Logr Mike, the president of ASNW:

Hi Everyone,

ASNW Octocross Nationals has been moved to Spokane County Raceway. It has been a while since we have run there but it has been an ongoing quest to make it happen and it finally has. I'm sure everyone is really looking forward to this as the smooth pavement and variety of sweepers will be a real treat. We will be trying for the longest course of the year so don't miss out or be late.

We need to thank SCR for helping make this happen and they are our newest sponsor as well. The ASNW racers need the biggest pat on the back. For race weekends this year, we had 95 racers for a low(Labor Day weekend, won't do that again) to a high of 133 with 8 runs every race day and not a late day for the year. The racers made this happen, Great Job.

SCR will be open to camping for racers on Oct 8/9. You need to arrive by 8pm or contact me.

Gates open at 7:00am

Tech/Registration 8:00-8:45. Late registration until 9:00 for 5 bucks extra. No entries after 9:00.

Montana Run 5 Wrap-Up
Our 5th Annual Montana Run came and went and luckily, the weather held up for us.  I want to thank everyone who came out and made this event happen especially those who come all the way from the Seattle/Portland area just to make this drive.  This year I believe we found the perfect route that will continue to make this drive a success for years to come.
