Welcome to Nora’s winter on road racing season. We will be racing every other week from Oct. 26th – March 1st. with a few fun races along the way. We will be racing a few select classes but are willing to race others if there is a strong enough interest. We will be following the Seattle RC Racers rules and guidelines for all classes found at seattlercracers.com under specs and rules except mini as they do not offer the class and WGT will allow different bodies and an additional spec tire. I am doing this to try and keep the racing from track to track consistent.
Racing will start at 3:00pm doors will be open by 11:00am and practice will be open until racing. Practice times may change if there is interest!
Plan on bringing a chair and table. There are some available but they belong to other club members and not everyone is willing to loan out their stuff. There are some available but if you have the room, pack them in.
There are 10 club race dates and there will be a points series run throughout the season. There will be trophies awarded for the top 3 in classes offered. If another class pops up and is supported through the season we can include that in the series as well.

Looks great, Jeff!

Quick question: what's the decoder situation this season? Will the new MyLaps ptx's work up there?

I didn't check Jeff but are NORA dates opposite Saturdays of SRCR Comm. Center dates?

crazy5

Todd, I'm pretty sure they made the switch. I will confirm

crazy5

as of this time, NORA has not done the mylaps transponder switch. it still may be in the works though. but for now we are still on the old system.

Thanks Monte, I was under the impression from the last meeting I had gone to that we were making the switch. Thanks for clarafying.

Will there by any chance be a practice day before the first race??

crazy5

Possibly on track build day. I am planning on Saturday the 12th as a track build day and if it gets done fast enough we can spend the rest of the day turning laps!
