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.

Re: NWCR Membership
 
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.

Gary Howe likes his 55 Chev for Super Stock racing. Larry McLanahan prefers something a few years newer. Both are supporting NWCR by becoming members. Old or new, they all look like a fun ride.

As well "CNO" Billy can fix lap tops. Was testing and could not get my lap top to work to down load Race Pack data. Billy came by and was able to fix it!
The CNO is from his computer days at Boeing. Thanks again Billy.

With no AHFS at NWCR races, we're pretty sure Brian Seaburg will have his Comet set on KILL looking to win that #1 Qualifier $100 award. Who else wants it? And thanks for joining, Brian.

Welcome to new member Ron Pircey. Haven't seen him at the races? That is probably because he doesn't have a car, and is in his shop building cars for customers. He wanted to demonstrate his support for class racing so he joined Northwest Class Racers. Thanks, Ron. Check out his shop at https://ronpirceyenterprises.com

Ed Hauter came out for race #1 at Seattle and joined Northwest Class Racers. Didn't see him on the Qualifying sheet? That's because he broke during the Friday night test-n-tune and couldn't get it fixed in time for the race. Thanks for joining NWCR, Ed. We hope to see you at Yakima on Sept 10.

Here is another racer who came to our Seattle race, but suffered a broken convertor in the Friday test-n-tune. Tim Shidu still wanted to support Northwest Class Racers so he joined the association. We'll be looking for Tim at our Yakima double-header on Sept 10-11.
