ITB NARRC/NERRC/NYSRRC Unofficial Points

[Eric Parham]

First, a clarification: it appears that Raymond and Eric are discussing NERRC, while Tim and Dick are discussing NARRC.[/b]

You are correct, sir.

Believe me, I understand the confusion. I'm still not clear myself. I admit to not paying too much attention to the NERRC series, simply because it's just too much to keep track of. I just read the NERRC rules, and I also am unclear as to which tracks/events count. DO they follow the NARRC's 12-9-7-6-and so forth then add points for starts and finishes? From here on out it'll just be a matter of giving it our best shot and seeing how the numbers come out...[/b]

I think that's exactly how NERRC works, except that the bonus track points add differently than for NARRC, and more races count for NERRC (still not sure whether 9 or 10).

Tim, I was initially unclear as to which tracks counted for NARRC points; however I eventually figured it out. This was not due to anything explicitly stated on the NARRC web pages, but due to having downloaded the first points update after the first NHIS event. The points spreadsheet that Maureen posts lists all the races for the year, and the results. Thus, one could easily look at the spreadsheet to see which races count towards NARRC points (and which don't, e.g., last week's NHIS event.)[/b]

I was unsure too, so I asked (only after I had committed to running the Glen race, though). That's when NARRC made the clarification that the Glen would not count for track bonus points.

As for NERRC tracks, it's only NER sanctions so that should be easy enough to figure out. I believe NER sanctions this weekend's NHIS double but not the NARRC Runoffs...? If so, the NERRC championships will be decided this weekend, and the NARRC at the Runoffs.[/b]

I'd almost buy that. But, consider that your use of the word "sanctions", in light of Dick's definition ("run by" NER), would leave no explanation for why the Glen race, which was "run by" Glen region IIRC, actually counts for NERRC points (that is, at least for finish points; track bonus points still unknown but not as big a deal as for NARRC since NERRC would only have 4 points at stake rather than NARRC's 12).

Eric again my statement about sanctions and bonus points only applies to Narrc. The Narrc rules process is structured as it takes all four region’s cooperation and they can only make decisions at the two meetings a year, November and March.

The Nerrc process is much simpler as it is NER’s series. NER runs all the races at NHIS and two weekends at LRP (one which has been a National so no NERRC points). The Glen race was added a couple of years ago because it was fun and NYSRRC reciprocated by making the august NH race a Nysrrc.

Greg - It actually does say it in the rules but like the "race supps", I didn't read them very carefully.

SERIES: The NARRC Series is comprised of races hosted by the four Regions that race at Lime Rock Park; Mohawk-Hudson, New England, New York, and Northern New Jersey. It includes designated SCCA-NARRC races at three (3) circuits: Pocono, PA; Lime Rock Park, CT; and New Hampshire International Speedway.

Although with WGI on the schedule it confused me (done pretty easily).

Dick, understood, and didn't mean to imply otherwise. I was merely trying to draw attention to what I believe is your correct definition for the term "sanctioned" = "run by", but pointing out that the WGI race for ＮＥＲＲＣ (and NARRC) points was not actually "run by" NER.

so is that 9 or 10 races for the NERRC that count?

Greg - As I follow the NARRC points spreadsheet, I never noticed the statement at the top of each spreadsheet proceeded by a "yellow highlighted" note, indicating that WGI being a newer venue does not count for the 3rd track bonus.

Nope. As soon as it does I'm off to the next adventure...
