Northwest Rally Council

One month away, the NWRC 2026 season continues with a Friday Nighter called If It Looks Like A Duck on June the 12th, hosted by FOOTZ.

This will be a novice friendly event winding throughout Rally Valley.

Start location: NE corner of Eastgate Park & Ride @ 14200 SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue.

Start time: Registration opens at 6:45pm, first car out at 7:31pm.

The event uses the Richta GPS checkpoint system and runs under NWRC General Instructions.

It’s never too soon to be thinking about a rally in July. NWRC is trying new things in an effort to draw more people into the TSD sport. One of those things is hosting some events on Saturdays, instead of the traditional all Friday Nighter schedule.

July 11th will be our first Saturday event of the 2026 season. Please join us for Quo Vadis II penned by guest rallymaster Barry Sharp.

Here is what Barry has told us so far:

The rally is about 160 miles long. Novice friendly while still challenging for more experienced competitors. Great roads and Northwest scenery, with views of the N. Cascade mountains. Event will use passage controls (meaning cars do not stop at checkpoints) similar to Raindrop.

The rally runs north into and around southern Snohomish County. A mid-point rest stop is provided, and a final meeting place in Woodinville’s Red Robin allow competitors to mingle, review the event, announcing scores, and awarding prizes.

Driver and Navigator, an iOS/Android phone/Tablet is required to receive rally checkpoint data during the event. Download the Richta GPS checkpoint system Competitor app beforehand. If you are unfamiliar with the app, there is an introductory guide here.

The rally will use the NWRC General Instructions (rules) found here. The entry fee is $30, cash only at the start. The event begins at the Eastgate Park & Ride at 14200 SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue, WA 98007. Registration will open at 9:30am, with first car out at 11:01am.
