After you complete the online registration for the Annual Meeting, members are welcome to register for the Open Karting session. This must be done in advance to secure a spot.

There will be six timed heats between 3 and 4PM, so space is limited! A reservation is required.

Details:

• One participant may reserve slots for multiple people in their party (for example, a NER competitor and their family or a team principal and their crew). At this time, we are only reserving one session in advance per person – we will open this up if demand requires.
• We will collect payment via mailed check, mailed TRIP (Track ReImbursement Program) voucher, and/or credit card (a card must be on file with MotorsportReg.com regardless of selection). Mailed payments may be sent together with your Annual Meeting payment.
• Please note these driver requirements: Minimum height of 1.5m / 58 inches, Maximum weight of 265 pounds
• Driver equipment (helmet, head sock, and neck brace) will be provided by the facility – drivers may supply their own karting-suitable helmet and neck brace.
• Each session is approximately seven minutes long, allowing for approximately 11 laps.
• Cost is $20/session (normally $25)

How do I register with TrPs?

If you choose to use TrPS (club racing workers) or pay by check, they must be received by Friday, December 27, 2019.

Everyone must have a credit card on file when you register online. If you are paying by mail (checks or TrPS) you still need to enter a credit card during registration. If we receive a mail-in payment by the time registration closes, we won’t charge the card on file. The card will be processed if check/TrPS payment has not been received by December 27.

If paying online, please make sure you have a valid charge card on file. Credit card payments will not be processed until December 28, 2019.
