E-5 No one except riders officially entered in any event may ride or practice on any racecourse the day of an event. Anyone participating without properly registering will be suspended for 90 days.

Promotional points rule update for 2023

PP-1 Promotional points are accumulated per rider, not per class and they are accumulated from year to year.
A promotion to the next classification is given at the conclusion of a series if the rider has earned the proper number of points and is age eligible.
Riders moving up a class will start the class with the number of points earned to advance.
The only exception is for riders advancing two classifications. i.e. C to A, Youth C to Youth A. These riders will have their points reset to the lowest point of advancement to the next classification.
Ex: A C rider with over 120 points will be reset to a B rider with 40 points, Youth C with over 65 points will be reset to 40 points as a Youth B rider. In no case will a rider move up two classes at the end of a series.

2023 schedule

Here's the 2023 race schedule

Open class name changes

The Open classes will now be called the Open C, Open B and Open A classes so that they will follow the same naming convention as all the other classes.
Open Novice will now be Open C
Open Amateur will now be Open B
Open Expert will now be Open A

Entry fee price update

Due to the rising cost of just about everything involved in running a race track the entry fees will be $40. for the first and second classes and $20. for each additional class.

75% of the races needed to qualify for year end awards

Each of the NESC Championship series are designed to reward rider's accomplishments and their support of the NESC points paying events.

At the end of the year a Championship awards program is run to recognize the top riders in each championship class for each series that earn championship points. Riders must do at least 75% of the races in a series in order to qualify for awards.
For the 2022 fall series all of the adult class riders need to do 8 races
In the 65cc, 85cc and Supermini riders need to do 7 races
50cc riders will need to have raced in 5 races.

Series scoring, how throw aways work

For most of the classes (except for the 50cc 6 out of 7, 65cc, 85cc and supermini 9 out of 10) your best 11 out of 12 races will count in the championship points standings.

If you completely miss one day then you accumulate “0” points for that day and “0” are subtracted from your final total.

If you miss no race days, then your lowest score is subtracted from your final total.

If you are disqualified from a class for any reason (whether it is for one moto or both motos), then the total score for that class on that day will not be allowed to be counted as a throwaway day.

All riders, please bring your cards to sign-up

Please bring your NESC card, your ID and your insurance card with you to sign-up. We hate to be requiring all this but the insurance companies are getting stricter and stricter with their rules, sorry for the hassle and thank you for understanding and helping out.

Transponder rentals

We will have a limited number of transponders available for rent to one day riders. The fee is $10. (plus $10 for the clip that goes on your bike) a refundable deposit of $280. in cash or credit card (with a driver's license) is required.

We just got word from Mylaps that the TR-2 transponders are back in stock and can be ordered.
We still have about 22 members that have never given us their transponder numbers so they have no cards.
We have been letting things go, because they have been out of stock for so long at Mylaps they are back in stock now so no more excuses.
As an incentive for our members, Mylaps has also announced a price increase, effective October 1st, so if you order yours before the first, you will save a bit on the subscriptions.
More info and ordering info is at Speedhive
