Racing Against Leukemia - Jeff Gordon Challenge

New Hampshire Motor Speedway

About this event

     

 

Location: New Hampshire Motor Speedway

THIS IS A REGISTRATION FOR SATURDAY"S EVENT. Sundays event has a different registration form in motorsportreg.com

 

Here is the write up on the challenge and how it works - it's a fund raiser....  http://www.ner.org/solo/ral-from-a-solo-perspective

Helmets: Snell M, SA 2000 or higher rated helmets required containing one of these decals:  2014 Helmet Decals  (Loaner helmets are available for novices)

Since this is a charity event, I am leaving registration open thru the morning of the event.  You are welcome to sign up and come Saturday Morning but use this on line registration please.  

 

You may not 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 Loudon 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.
