Organizer Support
Event organizers do exactly that: organize events. The minimum a sanctioning body can do is sell you some insurance and provide a rule set for operating those events. We do more than the minimum. At NASA Rally Sport, we believe that the sanctioning body should do more than just have a rule book: the sanctioning body should actively help events happen and build technologies to make organizing an event easier.
What can we do for your event?
- Email racers near you via a radius-based selection process. Want to message everyone within 100 miles? 200? 400? Easy.
- Same for volunteers. Let us help you recruit volunteers, and target the folks closest to the rally to receive relevant emails.
- Generate time card PDFs for you.
- Generate beautiful route books with our database driven generation software. No more hours spent slaving over formatting a spreadsheet.
- Forms out the wazoo. Log sheets, net control tracking forms, inquiry forms, withdrawal forms... we have over 100 forms made up and ready to go.
- Help you upgrade your documentation. We actually organize rallies ourselves, so we can take your supp regs and drop them in to our WRC-inspired formats for something that looks pretty sharp. The side benefit of extensively documentation is it helps uncover any unplanned details .
- Help you make sure your planning keeps moving forward with our exclusive checklist of things that need to be done before each rally. Currently at over 270 items, each detail is broken out with a time line. You can also assign these tasks to other committee members to manage your delegation.
