OK... This rule is sort of getting close... but I think that it should read:

"And will be destroyed in a very public manner"

Do not try and cheat! If a builder is caught cheating during the event, his or her cars will be removed from the competition with NO REFUND.

Oh man! You guys have snail races! I really should check in here more often.

Can someone steer me toward the fat wheel bearing rules?

Thanks,

Wow! 12 full months of NPWRDL racing in 2017 to look forward to!

The 2016 racing season was not my best due to me not spending the time needed to prepare my cars properly because of a lot of different personal, family, and time reasons.

I also tried to race at multiple leagues with multiple cars and quite frankly it was just too hard to do it and my racing suffered as a result. In 2017 I will be cutting back and will only be racing a couple of cars in my 2 favorite classes, BASX and Eliminator. By just focusing in on a couple of cars in 2 classes and getting some guidance I hope to have a much better 2017 racing season.

Or I could just race in the Fat Wheel Bearing class and never prep a BSA wheel again!

Yes. Sorry once I got a calendar in front of me I saw that the 14th wouldn't work with the scheduling of the nationals, so we had to make a adjustment. As far as the Pro Street rod I'm thinking Feb, May, and Aug. The first one in Feb should give Zeeb enough time to get his R8 Together for our race, if he doesn't chicken out.

OK, I think I understand. For this next race, the SR Pro class will run. A "standard" SR would meet the rules (bearing are allowed, not required), so if someone wanted credit for running in SR Pro they could send their same SR from last month (and take their lumps). No credit would be given though for the "standard" SR class if you did this though.

But... you don't get points in SR anymore, so that is moot.

If this is SR Pro month, and you just send in an SR, you are just looking for a butt-whuppin. LOL
