What’s new?

Our Quick Guide for the Richta GPS Checkpoints Competitor app has been updated! As has the link in the Documents folder.

As a follow-up to last Friday’s rally, Signs Of Rallies Past, we’ve been talking to the Richta apps development team. Thank you to the 40% of competitors who responded to our poll or direct email inquiry. Our initial assessment was that the Broadcast Messages were only received by teams using Android devices. They have done some additional testing and confirmed our findings. The cause appears to be external – a change in the cloud service used by the Richta apps, or a change in iOS. An update to the iOS version of Competitor to regain functionality of Broadcast Messages is now in the works.

We alerted RASC to our experience with non-receipt of Broadcast Messages, so that they would not rely on them for the upcoming Norwester (underway now).

Final Reminder!

The NWRC September Friday Nighter is tonight!

Written by NWRC President and long time local rallymaster John Humphrey, this event is designed to be novice friendly while keeping both drivers and navigators on their toes. It uses the Richta GPS Checkpoints system as we have throughout the 2023 season so far. If you aren’t already familiar, there is an introductory Quick Guide on our Documents page. While you’re there, grab the September Supplemental General Instructions (supps).

Need more information? The Friday Nighter Info page has the address and map for our starting location in Eastgate (near I-90 & I-405 in Bellevue), schedule, and basic tips. Entry fee is $30, cash only.

Tonight’s rally ends in Four Corners (Maple Valley).

‘Bout That Time

Just three days until the NWRC September Friday Nighter.

We’re back from the August hiatus and ready to go.

If you haven’t shown up yet this season, fear not. The SOP and Novice championships are still up for grabs. No one has established a dominant lead.

For those that already have points in the standings, this is your call to arms to defend or even gain position on the leaderboard.

Bring your family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers and introduce them to our hobby. How else can you rub their noses in it if you win a trophy and they don’t?

Can’t Get There From Here? Now You Can.

Found a structural flaw in the site navigation. If you’ve been viewing the mobile version of our site and have never been able to find the Documents section, that problem has been corrected. Desktop users are likely using the navigation controls at the top of the page. If you scroll to the bottom there is another set of controls which also happen to be the mobile site menu. Somehow, we’ve gone years without noticing there was no Documents option in it. All good now!
