RAL Regional

[nlevine]

August has always been NER’s weakest regional of the season but this year it looks pretty grim.

It's a shame, too.. I remember when RAL was a "must do" weekend, just like Pig Roast used to be. The removal of NARRC points from these events hasn't helped what used to be sort of special "signature" events for the region.

I seem to remember extra points (or some sort of recognition) for folks who competed in more than one RAL event, rules that said Club Racers could not be considered Solo novices unless they showed complete incompetence, and a cool in-the-dark lap of NHIS as the last leg of the TSD rally (I was navigating, with my now-wife driving)..

Then again, I also remember full fields of regional Showroom Stock cars (all running factory brakes), but I can't keep dwelling on the past..
