Some Key Points within the LRRS
Rules that you should be aware of:
There are a
number of changes this year, and I have
done my best to outline them and point
you to the appropriate location in the
rulebook below, of course, if have
questions, concerns or comments, please
contact us at NHMS.
1.
Two Classes Eliminated
- Due to lack of participation
and much discussion, we have decided to
eliminate 2 classes; we no longer run
Middleweight Production Twins or Formula
50. We do still have
Formula 50 Lights. (Section 20)
2.
Novice Rider Changes
- We have a new set up for the
Novice riders; we have arranged the
classes to allow more options for Novice
racers. We have named
them various different names so that it
is easy to separate in the online
system. Also, we have combined some of
the Novice races with Amateurs; we
believe this will enable Novices to get
more racing experience and allow them to
gain the skills necessary to advance to
Amateur (Section 21 & Appendix A) This
also allows for some of the combined
Expert and Amateur races to be split and
Experts will have some races without
Amateur waves.
3.
ROOKIE RACE: New
program! It's back on Saturday as the
first race. It is now 4 laps. Here is
the real new part: Instead of having
Mike Martire, or another Expert, start
as wave 1, we are going to allow up to 4
rows (16 bikes) of Novices to be the
first wave. The class will be noted as
"ROOKIE RACE" on the entry forms, and
since it is only 4 laps it will be half
priced. It's a great opportunity to get
more track time and a practice start to
get things going for the weekend. There
are no trophies/certs for this one and
bikes will be gridded according to size
in the first wave. (ALL bikes together,
big bikes in the front and small bikes
in the back). The second and third waves
will be the two real Rookie Race
classes, as always.
Novice riders
will be allowed to ride up a class¯
in the Novice only races; but will not
be allowed to in the Novice and Amateur
combined races.
4.
Vintage Class -
To add a little variety to the LRRS
events we are introducing a Vintage
Class; the P-89 Lights Class will be
running on all LRRS weekends. (Section
21.9 & Appendix A) we will also be
having the short track event during 5 of
the LRRS events; more to come on that in
the near future. We will be announcing
more details and dates shortly.
5.
Alternating Sunday Schedule
- After hearing input from many
of you, it has been decided that in the
best interest of everyone we have an
alternating Sunday schedule.
Please take a look at it.
(Appendix A)
6.
EJECT Helmet Removal System
- Last year it was recommended
that all riders equip their helmets with
the EJECT Helmet Removal System; it is
now a requirement for the 2012 LRRS
season ( Section 17.1.10) To purchase
a device at a special discounted
rate for LRRS riders only, see above.
7.
Transponders -
It is important that everyone knows that
the CCS change in transponders DOES NOT
AFFECTTHE LRRS SERIES!!
We will be using the same MyLaps
(AMB) transponders this season and have
no intention of changing our timing
system in the near, or far, future. The
Westhold Transponders DO NOT work with
our Timing & Scoring equipment.
8.
Finishing Points -
If a rider does not finish a
race, the rider will receive points for
laps completed and will be recorded in a
manner to allow points if it is a
finishing position.
This is provided the rider completes at
least one full lap.
9.
Amateur Riders
will be paid money from the points fund
in a different manner than last year.
After many of the classes not
having an eligible rider to pay at the
end of the season, we decided that it
would be best to take the money and
distribute it among the top 10 scoring
amateurs for the season.
10.
The points awarded for
1st place have been changed to 36;
there is no longer the practice of
dropping a weekend. All points and
finishes will be counted toward final
season points and finishes.
