North East Rally Club’s Pumpkin Run May 19-21 to benefit Millsboro Fire Co. | Bay to Bay News

MILLSBORO — With spring just around the corner, plans are shifting into high gear for the 22nd annual Pumpkin Run road rally, a fundraiser for the Millsboro Fire Co.

Presented by the North East Rally Club, with Joe Roche as the rally master, the event will be held May 19-21, featuring half- and full-day courses throughout the Delmarva region. The competition tests skill, navigation, calculation, teamwork and the ability to decipher precise instructions.

The field traditionally features many classic vehicles, which, via staggered starts, will take to highways, usually traveling well below posted speed limits.

The 2022 run drew entries from as close as Maryland and as far as California, in cars ranging from a 1932 Buick to a 1969 Saab, as well as several open-air vehicles.

For information, visit here or the club’s Facebook page.

James Rutledge Obituary – Tri-County Independent (tricountyindependent.com)

No photo description available.
Jim was a staple at NERC for many years, bringing several beautiful old Fords to the events since the late ’90s when we were part of another organization. Above is his much loved ’51 Ford Deluxe seen here in the early 2000’s. He also ran a ’47 Ford Tudor, a ’30 A and a ’52 F1. He won what I believe is a record number of TVs from the door prize pools, more than a few ‘Best in [category]’ awards, and authored more good times in my life than I probably even know. He will be missed. He is reunited with his beloved Johanne and is probably tinkering on some old piece of crap in the afterlife.

Jim is the reason I ever started rallying in the first place. I thank him very much for that.
