Anybody know the schedule for the NHIS races Memorial Day weekend? On the registration page they have a race scheduled for Monday but on the schedule they have an HPDE event?

Not to doubt you Dick but I thought one of the reasons to make it a NARRC Double only was to allow our friends from out of Region to get a head-start on the trip home by having their points races be Sat afternoon and Sunday morning? A 'dead' race in between seems counter to the intent - or was the intent to simply limit the amount of NARRC points paying races NHIS held? Then it would still make sense to get them on their way early should they choose not to run the third...saturday morning qualify
saturday afternoon race Narrc/Nerrc points
sunday morning race nerrc points only
sunday afternoon race Narrc/Nerrc points
monday PDX event [/b]
...and you will still have to run the Sunday morning race in order to 'qualify' for the Sun afternoon race unless you want to start from the back...so we are effectively requiring everyone to run the whole weekend...
Either way, for those staying for the whole thing, it is going top be a great weekend with a fun format and mucho racing.

Racing at LRP on Sunday??? Isn't that, like, immoral?
I'm not sure if I could do it, I'd feel so...dirty....

NHIS?? Really? My brain is programmed to equate "Memorial Day" to "Lime Rock Park" for DECADES. Hell, I used to plan my Memorial Day activities when I lived in Texas so I could watch the GTP cars live on TV ("racing on a MONDAY! Woo-hoo!"). What happened to all this? Now that I think about it, isn't Grand-Am (e.g., Serra and company) running at LRP that weekend?
Jeez, my head is all screwed up now. I'm not sure if I'm prepared to turn my back on all this...how in the hell are we going to have enough workers to staff both events 3 hours apart? And if we've decided to turn our backs on LRP for the weekend, hwo do you expect the WORKERS to ignore this opportunity?
This sounds to me like a very ugly political football...hopefully we're not the ones teed-up for the kickoff...
I agree with you Greg. As soon as I hear Memorial Day weekend I think LRP. The issue is help out friends in need or go watch MSN race.... Although with LRP's weekend ticket price it may be cheaper to go to NHIS!
Jeremy Billiel
I think NYR has signed an agreement with LRP to staff the Pro races on the schedule so I would think that the worker supply for NHIS won't be affected THAT much.
That weekend does stink for the FOM team however. Nick, Anthony and the Davis/MSN/FOM Grand Am effort will be at LRP trying to rack up some points...while we run what could be one of the coolest weekends of the year for NER at NHIS. Rats!
One question: If the Sunday afternoon race is NARRC and not the morning, how are these drivers supposed to qualify if the schdule is:
Sat morn qual
Sat afternoon race
Sun morn race (qual spots based on Sat afternoon finish)
Sun afternoon race (qual spots based on Sun morn finish)
Brian or Dick should be able to clear it up for us.
Saturday afternoon’s race grid is set by Morning Qualifying
Sunday morning race grid set by sat afternoon race.
Sunday afternoon race set by Sunday morning race
Technically it is a double with two sanctions and credit for two races on your licence
I for one would rather race at NHIS that watch at LRP

What a wonderful way to spend Memorial Day weekend and so close to home! Don't forget us on your crew list, RST.....we'll be there! Gee, and you might even con me into bringing a cooler of Gatorade, fruit, and cold cuts.

But the bottom line is we are NOT racing on Monday??
As Steph said, it contradicts the NESCCA site...........

The NESCCA site is not accurate until all the applications are submitted and approved by Topeka.
Flaggers have been known to do the New England 400 on Memorial Day weekend. It's 200 miles from LRP to NHIS, and there is no racing at LRP on Sunday and the "car show" was a snooze last year. I hope to see them for the whole weekend.
Are there any IT drivers on this board that would be interested in helping to organize/sponsor a party on Saturday or Sunday night? I have spoken with the track in the past and there is a possibility that we could have a bon fire behind turn six . I will contact the track if there is enough interest and support from my fellow IT drivers to help set up and clean up. Any takers? Post here or email me at: itracer * gmail . com (replace * w/@)
