RESULTS: NERRC #3 – LimeRock Paddock Crawl

It's a HOT one at Lime Rock Park The third NERRC event took place last weekend at LRP - and it was a scorcher. Following on the heels of the official first day of summer, our racers faced temps in the high 80's and into the 90's. With 199 entries, all seven run groups were fully subscribed and made for some great racing. Even with the heat, four drivers claimed new Track Records. Congratulations to Travis Washay in B-Spec, Jason Conzo in FE2, Zachary Kelly in T1 and Francis Selldorff in T3. As always, our annual Paddock Crawl party was enjoyed on Friday night following the racing activities. It was heard throughout the paddock that Lou Giallanella offered up a Spicy Thai Basil Chicken dish that was a huge hit!

We will gather at Thompson Speedway July 8-9. Registration is open, and those drivers looking to secure and finalize Runoffs qualifications will probably be making an appearance.

Bob Introne Memorial Race

NERRC Season Continues May 14-15 brought NER club racers the 2nd NERRC event of the season. Following the opener at Palmer, almost 140 entries came up to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The first NER event at NHMS was renamed this year in honor of Bob Introne, long-time member, director and steward, who passed away in October. Known as the region's "weatherman", Bob made sure we had sunny skies throughout the weekend. The final results from NERRC #2 have already been posted and are available. Registration is open for NERRC #3, at Lime Rock Park, scheduled for June 24-25. NERRC #2 - RESULTS Remembering Bob The Introne family was extremely grateful for the efforts the region, and in particular JB Swan, put together to honor Bob during the weekend. They allowed Bob's grandkids to throw the green flag and checker during the B-Spec race, where Bob's son, Steve, was a competitor. Bob's granddaughter, Izzy, put on her whites and headed out to Turn 11, spending Saturday on a corner waving flags. Since Bob came into SCCA as an F&C worker, we know he'd be proud to see the third generation of flaggers continuing in his family. [...]

Best Seat at the Track: Volunteers

2022 Track Volunteers Needed The 2022 NERRC season is about to begin. The organization, management, and running of these events takes a tremendous amount of manpower, and is done exclusively through our network of club volunteers. BUT WE NEED MORE HELP! With our growing number of competitors, we need even more volunteers to staff all the specialties to ensure events operate efficiently and smoothly, as well as safely. Here's how you can help. BRING A FRIEND Grab a friend, neighbor or family member and bring them with you to the next event. When not watching and cheering on your sessions on track, ask if they'd like to get closer to the action and volunteer for a session or two in one of our specialties. SPREAD THE WORD Our track volunteers get up close to all the action. When sharing your racing stories, also share that non-drivers can still be right in the midst of it all when volunteering at events. POST A FLYER Print off one of the attached flyers and post it at your work, business, or favorite coffee shop. Anywhere people who like having #funwithcars might see it. SHARE THE LINK Share our NER.org/Volunteer [...]
