    New NHMS Rules

    Anyone read through the new rules for this year? They're cracking down, it appears. Here are my main thoughts:

    $200 to leave a trailer for the summer, another 200 for the winter. That seems fair enough.

    Can't operate anything motorized outside the tunnel unless it's insured for a million. So much for riding pit bikes to reg or T6 I guess. (see edit below, I'm an idiot)

    Bicycles are restricted to infield only as well. Looks like getting to registration is now a walk or drive your car/truck deal.

    These last 2 are rough hits, IMO. Oh well, I'll still be there every weekend.

    Crap, I'm just on an editing roll today. If the motorized vehicle is tagged for road use it looks like it doesn't need the million in insurance, so I guess you can throw a moped sticker on a scooter pit bike and still use that to get to/from T6 & up to reg.

    From what I gather, anyone can ride them in the camping area and racers can ride them in the pit area, but nobody can ride them outside the tunnel? Reading comprehension clearly isn't my strong suit today, maybe I'm reading it wrong? http://www.nhms.com/documents/camping_rules.pdf

    I wish I knew we could bring new trailers in and pay a fee before I spent countless hours & $ trying to get mine to slightly less shitty condition because it was grandfathered in. That's probably what sucks most for me. I'm not thrilled about a vehicle needing to be registered to get to T6 and/or registration either, those are pretty standard pit bike uses IMO. These new rules make the pit bike and the tramper I bought last year both seem like pretty useless purchases.

    Re: New NHMS Rules

    Looks to me like a driver's license will do it.

    It doesn't say if we need to meet one or all of the criteria for that.

    Nobody shall operate any motorized vehicle outside of the tunnel/infield area which is
    not registered properly to be operated on public roadways unless it has met the
    following conditions:
    a. Is displaying an NHMS Motorized Vehicle Pass (This pass may be purchased for
    the season at the Operations office. The fee for the pass is $20.
    b. The owner of the vehicle must be able to provide a certificate of Insurance
    coverage in the amount of $1,000,000.
    c. The Operator of the vehicle must maintain a valid driver’s license issued by their
    state or province of residence.
    I'm no lawyer, but the way I read that it needs to meet all 3 conditions.

    Re: New NHMS Rules

    Guess it's time to lube the chain up on the 'ol BMX .... and leave it at the exit of the tunnels.... On the other hand I do need to practice walking.

    "Nobody shall operate any motorized vehicle outside of the tunnel/infield area which is not registered properly to be operated on public roadways unless it has met the following conditions:

    a. Is displaying an NHMS Motorized Vehicle Pass (This pass may be purchased for the season at the Operations Office. The fee for the pass is $20).

    b. The owner of the vehicle must be able to provide a certificate of insurance coverage in the amount of $1,000,0000.

    c. The operator of the vehicle must maintain a valid drivers license issued by their state or province. "




    So where exactly are the fire lanes near the garages?

    "No power cords or water hoses will be permitted to cross roadways. "

    "No power cords or water hoses will be permitted to cross the fire lanes in the garage area. "



    This should be an interesting year......

    Re: New NHMS Rules

    The solution is simple, park your bikes at the end of the tunnel. I'm sure it'll be fine when there's 43 bicycles and mopeds blocking the exit of the tunnel.

    Re: New NHMS Rules

    Hm... the pitbike thing is lame, but I think I'm covered with a street legal scooter, since it is my vehicle in this case, and not my pitbike.

    The no electric near the garages, and some of the other comments I agree with. If I can't camp near the garages, I expect full-time security in each garage (N 1 & 2, C 1 & 2) to have a security officer on patrol who knows each rider and their bikes/belongings... I am not going to camp 1/2 mile from my toolbox.

    With that said, I'm still looking forward to this season and seeing what may stick or hold, but I am going to reiterate, NJ is equidistant for me, and if I dont like the changes at NHMS, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

    Bummer. Looks like the multi-billion dollar corporation finally caught up with the formally privately owned quirky NH track.

    It seems like they're just gonna keep pushing to see how quick they can go from "ehh, Ill still race despite the fees" to "now Im starting to think the hassle is not worth it"

    I don't feel like a cheap asshole anymore.

    Way to make even more people leave LRRS.

    It's clear they don't want us there. No sweat, I'm happy to oblidge.

    Well, not happy, but it's no longer a tough decision for me. They keep making it easier.

    It's ok, there won't be a need to get up to the reg building once online registration happens.

    And the intercom/PA system will work.

    Really.

    Re: New NHMS Rules

    I like that I was going to pay for garage, then Id need to pay to camp in my trailer outside the garage, then I'm not allowed to run power to my trailer.
    Makes me miss racing a LITTLE less.
