New NHMS Rules

[eboos]

Great to hear about the online registration going through.

Who cares about if it should have happened before, it's happening now. Great job!

It's easy to say this when you own a business and you're making money even while you're at a trackday

Factor in the average cost of a trackday ($200) and say you earn $250 per day working, that's $450 for that day.
Not factoring in costs for food, fuel, lodging and tires because your going use those things weather it's a trackday or race day. I used to average $400 per race weekend, but again half of that was travel, food, fuel, lodging and tire costs. Racing the entire weekend and enetering 3 races was by far a better bang for the buck over a trackday! For me at least it was. I not only spent less money racing vs trackdays, I also didn't lose any worktime/pay

Good point - for the most part trackdays are during the week - and to attend, some folk have to forgo work income or use up vacation time...
I know BostonMoto has a weekend track date as does Tonystrackdays.

But we are really talking about two different animals that serve two entirely different needs - trackdays vs racing. Sure there is some fringe cross over but it's at the fringes, not at the cross hair (as to why people do one vs the other)

Online reg is REALLY nice. Make things a lot more convenient.

Thanks for getting this going LRRS.

I am almost certain I'll actually start pre-registering now. Between this and free gate for 3 races, I'd be an idiot not to. OK, so 50/50 I actually start...

[Doc]

It certainly is nice... but it isn't like it will help my grid position any.

[elissama]

TTD has a weekend date too now? So out of the loop

[Mr. Kurtz]

At NJMP, yeah.

No, really, corner workers can't ride a bicycle either? Can we get that changed? I don't feel like hauling ass over to whatever turn they assign me and making it just before the flag goes down. They always say they need corner workers but there's no chance I'll be making it on time...

Did you read the rules? Non-competitors right now can't ride IN THE GARAGE AREA and PIT LANE. I'm no official but I'd think event workers can also pedal around, obviously that's something that's going to be addressed weekend 1.

I DID READ THE RULES. Just wanted to make sure I was clear on them. They're not very detailed so thought I'd ask. If anyone wants to come to my stoning, alex will be setting it up. Jeez! I'd like to corner work to keep all of you safe!

Let me know what comes of week 1.

Operation Diversion was declared a sucess by LRRS. Get these dopes worrying about online registration and if they can ride minibikes around with a million dollars worth of insurance and they will all forget about all the increases we piled on them.

I don't think the increases effect everyone the same.

[Rambunctous]

Doc, it is our fault for these increases. We tell the salesman "I will buy the new car". He says let me get back to you on the price but in the meantime give me a large non-refundable deposit......Pay for your license by January 15 or we will sell your number......Payment for the garage must be recieved by such and such a date. Bullshit. Make all and any costs known before we buy crap then we can have a bargaining chip by withholding the deposit. It is no simpler than that.

Apologies. I shall not be leading any stonings. Just thought it was rather clear and this whole thread has been a ton of uproar or (what IMO) is very little substance (which I highlighted in my huge post a few pages back) and it drives me batty. I literally had a ton of people IM'ing and emailing me about all this shit before I even read the rules. I thought it was the end of the world as we know it. Turns out, not so much.

Thanks for corner working.

Yes because NHMS lives and dies by your $1000 garage rental fee. Please. How about the new rules weren't finalized until recently whereas the garage deadline for fees has been unchanged for the last million years. That's another theory.

Tin foil hats for sale!!



You could always go race USCRA.. oh wait...

[butcher bergs]

I'm with ya, Mike. Isn't NJMP starting to sound pretty sweet now?

[jtaylor719]

I like the idea of parking in front of my garage. As it is, I need to drive up after work on Thursdays (luckily, only 30min) and drop it off to ensure I have a spot for the weekend. Almost every weekend, we've had to ask people to move - and they weren't happy about it.

The camping thing doesn't affect me, but probably won't do as much racing as before. Track days offer much more time on the track - and the dirt is calling me again...

That is BS! That is what they have to start policing and enforcing. You rent the Garage you OWN the spots in front of it. Plain and simple.

Who the heck would park in your spots? Idiots!

(Am I crossing the creepy line yet?)

nah, it's ok. I work in the ghetto- I've had creepier, older, ulger men say worse things to me! lol

plus, if you keep going i may take you up on your offers. I bet your wife and i would get along well! We may not even need you

Yeah, WE know that...others don't, and liked the easy access. We handled it ourselves most of the time, got Wanda involved a few times. It happens every time on the T12 side of the North garages.

That would be just fine. I will watch and be HAPPY.

But where was THIER pit?

[Fitz]

Thanks for the Pre-reg LRRS. Definitely progress in the right direction! I'm sure there's a lot of work behind the scenes that we can't even fathom.

Hey Alex! Want an office to go with your hat?
