Got word this morning that the insurance problem was finally resolved and NWRC is fully operational again. Events can proceed as planned. Just in the nick of time for RASC’s Raindrop this Sunday 5/7, and with little more breathing room for FOOTZ’s Appetizer on Friday 5/12.

Try the “Appetizer”, a Friday Nighter by FOOTZ to introduce the use of Richta GPS checkpoints.

Are you ready?

You’ve read the quick guide, right?

You’ve read the April Friday Nighter supplement to the General Instructions, right?

You’ve installed the Competitor app, right?

You’ve got a good mounting method for your iOS or Android device, right?

Heck, if you’ve done all that you might want to start getting ready for May, as well. There is a draft of the supplementals for next month in the Documents section if you’re curious.

Read the Quick Guide. Decide which mobile device your team will use. The guide might influence your choice.

Install the Competitor app.

You won’t be able to do much with the app until the day of the event. It appears in the Event List, but you can’t open it without the password and car number you’ll receive at the event.

The value of a good windshield mount for your device cannot be overstated.

Remember that you’ll want to have your device plugged in to power during the event.

Download and review the Supplemental Generals (‘supps’) for the April Friday Nighter. You can also opt to grab the April Generals which incorporates the supps into the rule book as a single document.

If you haven’t run an NWRC Friday Nighter previously, check out the Example Rally. This takes about an hour to run and will introduce you to our instruction format. Please note: the Example Rally does not use the Competitor app and adheres to the standard NWRC General Instructions.
