First off you guys and gals thank you for doing this and all your hard work.
I am in.
Rule question is there going to be heads up races? I am good either way, just wondering. I will ask this before everybody else does.

James,

It is in our list of rules.
6. No heads up runs except by mutual agreement.

The choice is up to the racers involved. If both cars are fast and want to prove a point, then race heads up. If one car is considerably slower, by our rule they run off their dial in.

Read all the rules in the STICKY above.

Thank you to those who have sent in their membership fee.

- Several people have asked why a membership fee is required. Short answer: to guarantee the purse.
When we started to organize Northwest Class Racers we contacted other class racing associations around the country. All of them said you will need to charge a membership fee to raise enough funds to cover the purse if car counts are not high enough to fully fund the purse. Many other associations tried racing without a membership fee and found when car counts were low they had to reduce the payout. This led to complaints that they did not pay the purse that was advertised. We want to avoid that scenario. The member fees will also be used to purchase T-shirts and NWCR Stickers. We won't know the size T-shirts you want unless you join. Join now and send in your check.

To be clear, everyone involved in creating, promoting, or running Northwest Class Racers are doing this to support the future of Class Racing. Nobody receives any compensation for their efforts. All monies go to the purse. Don't wait, send your check now.
