    It's hard to draw Loudon guys when you won't coordinate race schedules.

    Not that I know of. I did have a short conversation with him years ago regarding WERA in the northeast and, at least at the time, he'd voiced his interest in having more access to this area. Sounded like Summit Point was as close as the organization could get.

    Either way, NEMRR is in good hands and I see the departure from CCS as an opportunity to grow.

    LRRS doesn't exist anymore so stop using it!
    Don't know the reason Nemrr left CCS but I am sure cost was an issue. Class structure being another one. I personal believe Nemrr has too many overlapping classes with little time in a given day to run them all, especially in the early and later part of the season.

    Curious why you think CCS affiliation was holding NEMRR back, or how separation will enable growth?

    I think the best thing that could come out of it is a very responsive organization to the needs and desires of local racers who want to participate. Extend this out to class structures how they run the weekend, what other activities are available. For one I think there’s a huge missed opportunity to develop kid friendly activities that are part of the weekend. Maybe even some Junior racing or riding classes somewhere, like on 50’s…, with appropriate waivers and insurance of course. Or if that’s logistically tough, at least some bicycle riding areas or other things to safely keep families entertained. Who knows, that’s just one example… but there’s a lot that could be done with independent control of a series that history has pretty much shown, no one from out of region travels to.

    Re: NEMRR no longer CCS

    I don't see how CCS affiliation had prevented any of that? We had our own classes, we've had pitbike racing, scooter racing, etc so no impediment there. I think the real potential roadblocker has been sorting insurance both at the track level and LRRS now NEMRR level, as well as having additional manpower to actually operate it?

    AMA membership I don't mind. For the price I get roadside assistance for whatever I'm driving, truck and trailer, RV, whatever. And it reduces the cost of getting insurance for the race org. So I won't object on that one.

    I think the track has been the bigger limiting issue, not ccs.

    They are the ones with the age restriction. And the amount they charge to use even the parking lot is crazy. You could easily have junior racing somewhere on the grounds. They have a great series in jersey at the go cart track for kids to get into racing.

    Locally, it's been Aaron at boxshop who has provided most of the young talent that has made its way to nemrr.

    Same. I haven’t had a race license since 2017 but I keep my AMA membership for those reasons.

    I wouldn't say they were being "held back". Being that NEMRR is new, I see the breaking out of CCS as allowing them complete control over how the future can be navigated. The new organization can now be aligned in any way they see fit...rule structure, class structure, choice in which licensing orgs participate, etc

    Let's face it, there have been long-standing differences when it comes to being under the CCS umbrella (timing system, for example) and breaking away from that provides a blank slate to compliment an otherwise fresh start.

    I believe NEMRR honoring of CCS licenses is a courtesy going into next season but I suspect John et al have plans that span a few years out

    Re: NEMRR no longer CCS

    I hope the keep reciprocity between the two. I don't think either club will lose that much money in license fees as they gain race entries and transponder rental. Plus, maybe make a little off practice/school.

    And it gives a racer an opportunity to break out of their home track and see if they might have what it takes to move further into racing, ie motoamerica.

    Re: NEMRR no longer CCS

    I hope this year at least the timing system will get fixed. It was the worst I have ever seen last year. No idea what your times were or even where you finished. Also no idea why race monitor stopped coving lrrs/nemrr last year. They had a great platform that was also super easy to use.

    Race monitor going away was a monetary thing from what I understand. It apparently costs the org money to be on their platform.

    I've been trying to work on something like race monitor in my spare time because even before it went away, I hated the fact that it cost money for the good stuff. But as with any volunteer project, it takes time. I should probably reach out to Eric and John to see if there's any way I can help them with T&S.

    Re: NEMRR no longer CCS

    According to their website, it looks like it was free for the track to provide live timing. If not, $80 a year? Not sure why it was immediately axed when track intel was clearly not ready.

    Re: NEMRR no longer CCS

    When it was LRRS, the track owned the timing system AND ran the racing. Now the track owns the timing system, NEMRR rents access, and I don't know how much access they're getting. None of this was dictated by CCS affiliation, it's just the system NHMS went with. I also don't see how staying with or breaking off from CCS changes that calculous. Really, the big question is will CCS let NEMRR plug any alternate timing system into the loop? Without that, we're stuck with the track's system. (Not that I look forward to having to buy another transponder if they do change.)

    Re: NEMRR no longer CCS

    If all of these go karting facilities can figure it out, I'm sure this race organization could find a way.
    I mean, it's timing and racing. You can't have one without the other.

    That tower might be the best part about Loudon. I always miss having it at jersey.

    But what happens when one of our racers goes to ROC? They considered non series and 0 points I assume? Not that starting position is that important in Daytona but still.
    then you'd have to buy a CCS license. your expert standings would be honored since you're licensed as an expert in a sanctioned club series. no different if you went to WERA Gran Championships without a WERA license.
