Ditto!
I saw him on the news a week or two ago.
Thanks for your service Matt!

I don't see any down side to giving NERRC points to everyone.
We would give National points to all NAtional licensed drivers.
What am I missing?

Just a question...how would points be awarded to National Licensed drivers that are running the NERRC? Would the driver get both National points and NERRC points? Would the driver have to declare for one or the other. This idea might work but it would ...

This is a good idea.  Use the early May event though and not April!

I would think we just run our normal (regional) run groups with some minor adjustments.

I'd be all for a "Rational".  Seems rational to me!    Where do you put the Regional only cars?  In there own run group?

Memorial Day National can't happen because that would be 3 Nationals in Division in a row, not allowed.
I did ask for it!
Even so a three day event is way to taxing on workers and everyone would then have to drive home on Monday(the holiday) evenin...

Hey Jerry,
With the change in the rules in the GCR to get to the runoffs, making it more difficult, there might be more incentive to run Nationals.  I've always maintained that a Double National at NHMS in May/June would work.  A single National at NHM...

Jerry et al,

I have to agree with some of the statements; the date is sad at best, NER should keep a National event, we need more entries, the 2010 qualifying rules for the Runoffs were a HUGE problem as to entries, and you do get more track time at a ...

As I look and and work thru our 2011 schedule does anyone actually think moving the date(although I don't know where to) would actually make a difference?
I think it may change the minds of a few but I don't believe enough to cancel or move a successfu...

Let's remember, it's called the "Easy Points" national for a reason.  It was never the best attended race.

It needed someone to care about it, to market it, to promote it, for it to compete.  No one did.  Competition from new and better (much better) t...

Well Jerry, let me take a stab at this. NHMS is a great track for an IT/SM car. It is a horrible track if you have shocks you care about. The transitions across the speedway will bottom out any car that is either not oversprung or progressively sprung....

Due to the rainy weather Tonight's cruise is canceled.

Glad your second tour is over - hope that we get to see you at the track soon - if Riley and Kim can spare you for a weekend.

Lack of interest, requirements to qualify for the runoffs, strong regional racing programs and double Nationals are some of the many reasons National racing is suffering.
Kansas looks to the regions/divisions to fix the problem.
Scheduling becomes the ...

Hi Jerry,
 I did the national at NHMS this year hoping to learn something new from some other drivers that I haven't raced with before. Sadly the field was so small that I learned nothing.
I think it all boils down to incentive. The incentive to win o...

Jerry, I can't say how long we keep it.  There are so many factors in predicting/getting attendance (weather, date, economy, race date competition, no real runoffs qualification, etc).  I do think if you are getting around 90-100 you keep it.  Has the ...

Most of the NER National racers don't even show...........
Move it to when? Take a look at this years schedule, I don't see any open dates?
So Steve how long do we keep it?  Until the last man standing?

The big questions is: what can we do to attract new members?  How do we get the track day and time trial drivers to come race with us?  What can we do to increase the region's exposure?
