Lend us a hand?

All good things must come to an end, and so it is with our 2025 Atlantic Region Motor Sports (ARMS) road rally season. For the first time in recent memory, we conducted five events on various surfaces and using both traditional and Richta/GPS scoring methods. We welcomed a number of new novice crews (all of whom performed amazingly well) and enjoyed the company and competition from a number of experienced crews possessing long motorsport histories.

Double the fun in May

For those of you not familiar with our climatic challenges here on the Atlantic coast of Canada, you may find it strange we have scheduling difficulties when it comes to motorsport events in the region. A short driving season (think May to November, if we’re lucky) and a number of track, rally and other events to fit in, scattered among clubs in four separate provinces, means our summer calendar is tight.

That’s a wrap – the 2025 Midwinter Moon is in the books!

It may not have been a perfect rally day (some of us were hoping for more snow and other weather challenges) but it was clear, cold, and breezy for the 2025 ASCC Rally of the Midwinter Moon. A ton of preparation had gone into the organization of this rally, and the rallymasters had all of the i's dotted and t's crossed - well, everything within their control anyway...

Midwinter Moon looking good!

I was lucky enough to do the Richta CP and first route check today for this rally being held on January 25. The rally area is about 1.5 hours from home, so a relatively early start was in order. Arriving at the start venue in Shubenacadie, I reset everything and headed out on the rally route. My intention was to see how things worked for the first couple of sections and if that went sideways, I'd break off and head home to re-engineer some…

Our updated Road Rally Manual is live!

Our chairperson, Chris P, has given our road rally manual the final touches and we've published a PDF copy on our Resources page. We hope it will be a valuable resource for road rally crews of all experience levels and, if you haven't competed yet, will give you the knowledge and confidence to tackle your first rally! And why not make that first rally the Midwinter Moon on January 25?

An Update

We hope you've been able to have a look at our website and make note of what we have to offer. Websites are always a work in progress and while ours is no different, I've removed the caveat that "we're still under construction." We've accomplished a few things since our last blog post. We've initiated a new Facebook group where we can make timely announcements, and exchange road rally information with like-minded enthusiasts, beginners and experts from around…

Testing, testing

We've added a new page to the site. Test Rallies will provide information on the test rallies we've developed to help new or novice crews gain experience with road rally and to see how the Richta Rally system Competitor app works. These are short, comfortably-paced rallies with no traps, no obscure instructions, and various CPs to help crews get comfortable with Richta and the look and feel of a regional or club rally.

The Venture Bound Motor Club will conduct their Winter Table-Top Rally from January 13 - 26, 2025. A couple of our group members have completed these in the past and they're a great way to improve #RoadRally navigation skills while having fun in the process. They're always well done, thought-provoking, and a lot of fun.
