What The Duck?

Just under a week until our next Friday Nighter, on July 12th.  This month’s event is “Just Ducky” presented by FOOTZ with rally master Mike Daily. He promises an entertaining drive on some North King County roads with a finish in Sammamish. This rally is Novice friendly and FOOTZ invites first-timers to give it a try.

The rally start is our usual Friday Nighter starting location at the Eastgate Park&Ride.  Registration opens at 6:45pm.  The Entry Fee is $30 (cash only) per car. This event uses Richta GPS checkpoints, so you’ll need an iOS/Android device with the Richta Competitor app installed and working.  If you haven’t used the Competitor app previously, please check out the Quick Reference Guide.  Don’t forget we updated the rulebook in the offseason, so grab the new edition.

Which Brings Us To July

By Leave a Comment

Last night’s June Friday Nighter was a blast. We even ended at a new location that worked just fine.

July’s event (7/12) is just under four weeks away. I won’t reveal all the details just yet, but can share that the entire event takes place north of Interstate 90.

It will use Richta checkpoints and our new compatible General Instructions.

Are You Sure It’s Over?

Hello All,

The June Friday Nighter ‘Are You Sure’ went off without a hitch. All the competitors reported having a good time and everybody made it to the finish. One of the benefits of a June rally is it is daylight from start to finish. Although we did get a few drizzles of rain we were rewarded with a beautiful sunset. Much thanks to John and Derris Humphrey and Mike Daily for assisting with the checkout and trophies. See you all out there!

** Although Barry and Dominic made an unrecoverable error in leg 2, they carried on and arrived at the finish ahead of the rally. We sat with them, found the mistake and had a good discussion about it. This is why it is so important to carry on to the finish even if you Aren’t Sure.

***Scores shown here are correct. Scores read at finish used an incorrect maximum penalty per checkpoint of 300 points. The Generals state the maximum penalty per checkpoint is 60 points. Placements have not changed.
