    OK, all of you road racers have had your fun on the big AMP weekend. Can our road rally program get some love now? This is all tongue-in-cheek, of course. I don’t begrudge our circuit racing brothers and sisters (a number of whom either compete in road rally or are significantly involved in it) a…

    We hope you enjoyed the Bluenose Rally on May 24. I know things went well at CP 8 and it was great to hear the stories of rally mayhem over a wonderful curling club dinner at the finish. The rallying community is full of top-notch people and spending post-rally time with them over sustenance and…

    With everything else on the go (the 2025 motorsport season is ramping up here in Nova Scotia) I find myself behind the curve with my promise to keep you updated on those types of route instructions you may find on rallies this year.

    Three of the four remaining rallies on the 2025 road rally calendar will be using Richta GPS timing and scoring. I’ve gone over the basics of this system any number of times so I’ll spend no further time on the generalities. You may, however, run into certain variations of checkpoints and procedures which we’re not…

    I know it’s been a quiet couple of weeks on the RRDG group and on our website. I’ve had a welcome visit from some of our European family, and it has also given the rest of the RRDG a chance to review some documentation, survey some rally routes, and move forward with a few new…

    We’re two weeks on from the Midwinter Moon and I hope you’ve had a chance to review your notes and old route instructions in preparation for the New Scotland Road Rally. We’re 82 days away! And while we’re drumming our fingers, looking at the calendar and our watches, and wishing time away, I thought it…

    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…
