CA: SCCA Cal Club First Friday Niter Social RoadRally

The SCCA Cal Club, Santa Monica Sports Car Club Chapter, continues their tradition of its First Friday Niter Series and begins the new year with Rallymaster Larry Scholnick. He describes his rally as “a trip around the rim of the Valley, the San Fernando Valley.” It really does travel from place to place.  There are some traps on this rally, but no more than one per leg (and not all legs have traps).  Trap values average about 30 seconds. FYI, my favorite instruction on the rally is this one:  STRAIGHT(ish) at STOP.

We will be using the Richta GPS Competitor app for timing and scoring, with timing in seconds. The max penalty this month is 120 seconds (2 minutes) per leg. All checkpoints are listed in the route instructions with a Restart after each checkpoint. This app is FREE and easy to use on any GPS-enabled smartphone. Go to the App Store or Google Play Store, or https://richtarally.com/. There is no need for additional timing equipment or clocks – your Official Time shows in the app!  

Also, if you want to see all the scores at the Finish, download the free Richta Scoreboard app.  Finish will be at IHOP, 5031 Kanan Road, Agoura Hills (at the Kanan offramp of the 101).

Please register online at MotorSportReg. This helps us plan for number of instructions to print, trophies, and all that good stuff. If that doesn’t work for you, in-person registration opens at 7:00 pm, with the first car out at 8:01 pm; there is a beginner/Richta meeting at 7:40 pm.
