Meet up at Popeye's Chicken at 7:30 AM and enter the venue together as a club!

The MG Car Club Northwest Centre is very happy to announce the return of the annual Tulip Rallye for car enthusiasts to enjoy this spring. The annual Tulip Rallye is a fun event put on by the MG Car Club Northwest Centre and has become a “must do” spring event for car enthusiasts who truly enjoy the thrill of driving on country roads with other like-minded car hobbyists! 

The date for the event is April 23, 2022 and the starting point will be the Cascade Mall in Burlington at Exit 230 off I-5 in Burlington, (same starting point as in past years). Note:  While masks are currently not required, masks may be required for all participants depending upon State of Washington requirements in effect at that time.

Day-of-event registration and pre-registered check-in begins at 8:00 am.  The drivers’ meeting begins at 9:30 and the first cars will be sent out shortly thereafter. Don’t dawdle; this is a massive start. We have seen up to 300 cars participate.

Registration is open on the MG Car Club website at -
https://www.mgccnwc.com/tulip-rallye/tulip-rallye-registration/

Pre-registration will be $20 for the event and $30 for day of the show. Pre-registration T-shirt and sweatshirt prices will be $20 and $30 and regalia order information will be on the registration form for participants to review.  A new twist to regalia is the ability to choose your choice of color of shirt or sweat shirt when pre-ordering.  Please note: in order for regalia to be available, the order must be postmarked by March 21.  Late orders will not be honored.

There is not an organized PSMC drive to this event; the zooming rally route itself takes care of the sports motoring.

We suggest you pre-register with MGCCNWC as above and be very early (even arrive the night before.)

No in-club PSMC registration.

When listing your club on registration form, spell out Puget Sound Miata Club, no abbreviations, so there is no doubt who you are.

All car clubs and car types are invited to attend, from collectibles to daily drivers. It’s quite a show, especially if you like vintage and special interest cars from all over the world.

The Tulip Rallye is a casual “gimmick rallye” where the challenge is to spot and record the answers to questions based on signs and objects found along the way while following turn-by-turn route driving instructions devilishly laid out by the Rallyemaster, whose job it is to make you laugh as you attempt to find the answers to the rather silly questions, riddles, and trivia.

This rally is NOT a traditional time-speed-distance event and the route is entirely on public, paved roads that are suitable for all vehicles and driver skill levels. No special knowledge or equipment is needed to enjoy your car, your companion, the company of fellow enthusiasts and incredible roads and scenery.

As in past years, the Tulip Rallye features a charitable organization to support.  This year the Rallye is supporting Food Lifeline, a charitable food bank that distributes food throughout the region.  The Planning Committee is asking participants to contribute $5 towards Food Lifeline during their registration process rather than bringing canned foods to the event.  The logic behind this request is that food banks can stretch a dollar further by buying in bulk, thus being able to serve more folks in need.
