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.
Coming Friday, April 14th, get an introduction to the Richta GPS checkpoint system when FOOTZ presents “Appetizer” to kick off the 2023 NWRC Friday Nighter series. Rallymaster Mike Daily has put together a fun route with no traps, so teams can get acquainted with the Richta system. The rally ends in Maple Valley at Farrelli’s Pizza.
You’ll need to have the Richta “Competitor” app on your iOS or Android smartphone. Do yourself a favor and get it installed ahead of time. We put together a short guide to getting and using the Competitor app. The guide can be found in the Documents section here on our website and while you’re there, grab the April Supplemental Generals. April (and beyond) will run under rules modified to use the Richta checkpoint system.
The Friday Nighter Championship is back. The 2023 Championship will track NOV and SOP participants.
NWRC Friday Nighters start at the Eastgate Park & Ride, 14200 SE Eastgate Way, Bellevue WA 98007.
Registration is open from 6:45pm-7:15pm. The cost is $30.
Come on out and join us. Bring your friends!
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.
