Cal Club First Friday Niter Social Roadrally

Uh, oh! The April First Friday Niter is on April Fool’s Day! Come on out to the Santa Monica Sports Car Club, a Chapter of the SCCA Cal Club, and see what Rallymaster Larry Scholnick has planned for you. He said, “The rally is short on miles but long on traps.” 

Translated, ‘It is a short rally, only about 40 miles; there are, indeed, numerous traps…BUT, there is only one trap per leg, they are mostly easy to figure out (here’s a hint for one of them – make sure you know what SOL means), and all trap values are less than a minute (some much less). What’s really amazing, is that all of the traps are different! It’s an excellent chance to see how good your rally skills are!

The rally finishes in Camarillo at Topper’s Pizza Place, 425 Arneill Rd, (805) 385-4444 (call ahead on your way to the finish so your pizza will be ready when you get there).

We are using the Richta GPS Competitor app for timing and scoring, with timing in seconds. The maximum penalty for this FFN is 3 minutes (150 seconds) per leg, and all checkpoints are referenced in the route instructions. Before you arrive at the start, please download the Richta Competitor app to your phone; it’s a free download for Android and Apple devices. There is no need for additional timing equipment, your Official Time shows in the app!

Please register here on MotorSportReg at msreg.com/FFN042022, it helps us plan for how many cars will be attending and makes registration quicker for you. If that doesn’t work for you, you can still register in person at the start. We start at the Bank of America rear lot, 10300 Sepulveda Blvd (Sepulveda and Devonshire) in Mission Hills. 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.
