Some Friday Nighter rallies in the 2023 NWRC season will use the Richta GPS Checkpoints.

By 2 Comments

Those events using the Richta system will need to be run under a modified set of the NWRC General Instructions. The supplementary changes will define some new official terms, remove conflicting language, and add framework to support use of the Richta system. Two new documents will soon be available on this site. One is a summary listing just the additions, deletions, or adjustments to be made. The other is a complete set of NWRC General Instructions with the supplementary changes incorporated into it already.

Go to richtarally.com to get a jump start on learning about the Richta GPS Checkpoint system.

More information will be provided here at nwrally.org shortly.

August Friday Nighter, 8-10-18

This Friday, ORCA presents Butt Simple 2.  The rallymaster is Don Gibson.  This rally will feature alpine instructions with mileages to each instruction.  The mileages will help you find the location of each instruction and should make the rally easier overall.  In addition there will be no traps.  Don wrote a couple of these a few years ago and they were very fun.  The rally is running south, and will finish at Farrelli’s Pizza in Maple Valley.

Registration for this novice oriented event opens at 6:45 PM at the Eastgate Park & Ride Parking lot in Bellevue (14200 SE Eastgate Way). The drivers meeting is at 7:10 and first car out will be 7:31. The entry fee is $20. Don’t forget that we’re running the “bring a new team and your entry is free” special. Come on out and join us for a good time, and bring your friends!

June 2017 Friday Nighter

On Friday, June 9th, NWRC presents the June Friday Nighter, “The Peanut Fairy Rides Again.”  The Peanut Fairy roams the roads and trails in our area, distributing peanuts for squirrels, crows, raccoons and possums, and any other critters that will eat them.  This rally endeavors to follow the path of the Peanut Fairy from Issaquah to Snohomish.  Since we are within two weeks of the Summer Solstice, we should have daylight for most of the rally.  On the checkout, last Friday, we encountered a cow at one of the checkpoints that was looking at us like we should be giving out peanuts.  I consider that fair evidence that we were on the correct route.  The good news is, the Peanut Fairy will not be bothering you in your car, like the Phantom Bantam and others have done in the past.  Bigfoot sightings should still be reported, but we are not technically looking for them this trip.   The checkout went pretty well, uncovering a couple of missing signs, all of which has been corrected.  You should have a good time on this event and we expect to see some pretty good scores.
