The NWRC General Instructions have been updated. The new edition is available in the Documents section of this site and also here.

Member clubs and interested parties submitted proposals last year and gathered in January to discuss and edit them, to then be voted on at the annual meeting in February. All amended proposals were approved unanimously.

A non-official summary of the changes adopted in 2025:

If supplemental instructions are needed for a Friday Nighter, they will be available at the finish of the prior month’s Friday Nighter.

Clarified requirement for two contestants per car: single contestant entries are not allowed.

Abbreviations AL and AR were added to the definitions.

Language was cleaned up in 9.3.2 for how ‘Evansville’ handles scoring and time allowances.

Restored the 300 point maximum penalty for a checkpoint. Rallymasters may choose to use a lower maximum for their event. The 60 maximum was an artifact from 2023 when Richta was hard coded to it.

Shortened the definition of the Equipped class (no change of intent).

Revised 9.7 Inquiries removing the same class requirement for peer review.
