About this event
Since this is a charity event, I am leaving registration open thru tonight. You'll be a late registration, but you are welcome to sign up and come Saturday Morning.
You won't get an email from me, on details, but the idea is - get there before 8:30 , sign in at the Solo window at NHMS in Loudn NH and follow the usual schedule up to the driver meeting.
This is the Racing Against Leukemia Jeff Gordon Challenge, sponsored by the New England Region. Anyone with a valid U.S. driver's license (IT CAN NOT BE EXPIRED) is welcome to participate. The Junior Kart drivers also may register. (Underage drivers with permits or drivers with license restrictions may register provided legal requirements are fulfilled. See Solo Rulebook Section 4.1 titled Driver Credentials for details.)
SOLO competitors and their crew need to arrive during morning registration hours or have made previous arrangements with Solo Chairman for entry. There is no Solo gate fee for guests of competitors (guests are crew) but the track charges a standard $25 infield fee for spectators. Have your guests sign waivers at the Solo window to enter with no fee.
