Running Equipped? Raise Your Hand!

By Leave a Comment

We’re not trying to discourage it. Simply put, no teams registered for Friday Nighters in the Equipped (EQP) class in the last couple of years. There was discussion of eliminating the class definition from the General Instructions but we elected to retain it. You’re welcome to enter/run in this class!

We also want to save the expense of making trophies for an empty class. For 2025, the Council’s policy is to only make Friday Nighter trophies for the Equipped class if notified ahead of time that one or more teams will be running in EQP.

March Madness, Meet April Anticipation

By Leave a Comment

In just two weeks, the NWRC 2025 Friday Nighter season begins, when Puget Sound Rally Club presents “Sprung Spring” on April 11th.

Rallymaster Dave Treen describes it as “a 2 hour driving event with no intentional traps” which sounds perfect for waking rally skills from winter hibernation.

Don’t forget to grab the updated General Instructions new for 2025.

Season Championships will be run for Novice, Seat-Of-Pants, and Masters classes. Run the April Friday Nighter to establish yourself as point leader! Note that due to the six-way tie for 1st place in the 2024 Novice championship, all participants remain eligible to compete as Novices in the 2025 championship.

Most, if not all, of the rallies above will use the Richta GPS checkpoint system. If you aren’t already familiar with it, check out our Quick Guide.

New to TSD rally? We have a short sample to try on your own. It gives a taste of how the instruction format works, along with explanations to guide you through it. The Example Rally takes about an hour to complete and does not use the Richta system.

There will be Friday Nighter season championships for 2025 for all paper classes (Novice, SOP, Masters).

Be sure to grab and review the updated 2025 NWRC General Instructions.
