Time is coming soon for the July First Friday Niter Road Rally, sanctioned by the SCCA, Cal Club Region, and the Santa Monica Sports Car Club! Rallymaster Joe Akerman has written a pure tour course using Monte Carlo-style timing. This is a BEGINNER FRIENDLY event! It has been created for maximum driving fun and easy navigation. You will get very simple, turn-by-turn instructions with no tricks, traps, or boring average speeds. You will be given “Car Zero Times” at each Checkpoint and exact mileage. So, no guesswork, no complicated math. Just add your car number in minutes to the Car Zero Time, and you will know when to cross each clearly visible Checkpoint sign. If you get there early, you may stop or creep without penalty, so long as you do it safely and out of traffic lanes.
This rally uses the Richta GPS Competitor app for timing and scoring, with timing in seconds. This month’s maximum penalty is 60 seconds (1 minute) per leg. The app is FREE and easy to use on any GPS-enabled smartphone. Go to the App Store, Google Play Store, or https://richtarally.com/. There is no need for additional timing equipment or clocks – your Official Time shows in the app!

Please try to register online here on MotorSportReg. 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; 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. We’ll head out to the backroads of the Angeles National Forest before finishing at the Toppers Pizza at Sierra and Soledad in Santa Clarita.
We strive to keep our event listings current, yet both event organizers and our team may not get word of event changes posted timely. Please check with the organizers before making your travel plans.
