This is a Non Points event. Due to the nature of the team event , we are offering late registration. Just sign up here by 6 AM Sunday morning and then arrive between 7 and 8 AM. (Location: Devens)
If you sign up Saturday, you've missed the "welcome to this event email but I have added it to this registration form so you can sign up and see the event timeline and what's expected as you sign up.
About teams:
If you have a full team (4 people) planned, great! If you need to be added to a team or your team is not full, it will be taken care of on the morning of the event. Everyone should go to the SCCA truck in the AM when course is open for walking to either enter your team of 4 on the sign up sheets, or sign up to be added to a team.

Region Number rules: Rules are outlined in the "Multiple Driver Cars" section of these rules: http://www.ner.org/solo/rules-and-regulations
Note:You must e-mail the registrar car and class information before registering if you intend to run more than two drivers in 1 car in a single event.
- 1 driver: Use any # between 1 and 99
- 2 drivers: 2nd driver adds 100 to the 1st driver's number. (It's easiest to label the car if you use a range from 10-99 for driver 1 and 110-199 for driver) That way you only need to take the "1" off and move it back on the car as you switch drivers during the day.
How to label both sides of your car (minimum 8" numbers and 4" letters):
- All classes including Road Tire: Label the car with # and class. Example: 65 CS for car # 65 in class C Stock, or 65 RTR for car # 65 in RTR class (Road Tire RWD). No base class is needed on the car for Road Tire classes.
Sound Limit: The sound limit at Devens is 90db measured at 75 feet. Cars exceeding this limit will be required to make a change during the event to decrease sound before being allowed to run again.
Helmets: Snell M , SA 2000 or higher rated helmets are acceptable as are all helmets meeting the latest or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards. Loaner helmets are available for novices.

Car Numbers and Classes: Place # and Class on both sides of the car using 8" high numbers and 4" letters. Tape should contrast with the car color.

Please check in at the table next to the timing truck. There will be a sign up sheet for your team, or to sign up to be added to a team. You also might have your class bumped if there are les than 3 cars in it, so this is something else to verify at the timing truck before parking on the grid because you may have to label your car differently if classes are merged with others.

Cleanup: Workers in the last run group volunteer to stack cones for easy pick up. Feel free to ask if you can do anything else to pick up and pack up at the end of the day.
