*August 3^rd – Summer Picnic and Rally – Lake Nockamixon Park, PA For our sixth annual summer picnic and rally, we’re going to switch things up a bit and try some summer driving in Bucks County. We’ll meet at the Marina Visitor Center at Lake Nockamixon State Park at 10am. To get there take either route 313 or 611 to route 563.  The turn off to the marina is located on 563.  At that point, follow the AROC signs to the meeting point.   Just like in years past, each participant will drive the course and be timed.  The course is about a 20 minute drive and will take you through scenic countryside.  The winner of the rally will be the driver who most closely matches the target time, based on driving exactly the speed limit for each leg of the course.  The coveted DVAROC Driver’s Trophy will be awarded to the lucky winner.  Lunch (hoagies and chips) and drinks will be available for less than $10/person.  Please RSVP Bob Brady at (610)486-1132 or rampbrady@verizon.net by August 2^nd so we know what food to order and how many directions to make.
