ABOUT TACOMA, WASHINGTON - Tacoma has a rich working class history of innovation from everything from shipping, to rock and roll, and more. Grit City, as the city has been known, has long been described as “gritty” by outsiders. That very word was used as an insult until 2003 when Peter Callaghan wrote a column that explained the alternate definition of the word “grit.” Since then it has taken on the meaning more associated with “true grit”. In this context it is easy to see why it is the perfect place for a chopper rally.
ABOUT THE VALLEY - For the last decade Tacoma’s The Valley have brought Tacoma cheap drinks and great food. A long time supporter of the motorcycle community, The Valley is a great place to hold this year’s Rally in the Valley.
TROPHIES - “Best in Show”, “Best Chopper”, “Best Swingarm”, and “The Ton Magazine Award”. In addition to trophies there will be some pirates booty of prizes to hand out!
RAFFLE - Like every Rally in the Valley (and even our beloved predecessor the “Dilly Dally in the Valley” we will be conducting a 50/50 raffle, as well as prizes from vendors and sponsors.
