I want to reiterate the deadline for posting a contingency is JUNE 25th. This type of thing needs to be in the event information...
I have confirmed with GRM that they are interested in both an announcment as well as event coverage. I will manage both of those things unless anyone objects. Their deadline for the October issue is JULY 1.
I will also be writing the NARRC committee members an e-mail tonight letting them know our intentions and asking permission to submit the NARRC logo for print in those publications.
I have a started a spreadsheet logging the participating 'companies' with contingency...send your info to me at andybettencourt AT hotmail DOT com

One additional small thing we should do is add a NARRC 2005 forum to it.com similar to the ARRC one. What is the best way to get in touch with the site administrator? I did not see an e-mail address.

You should have an e-mail...
It contains most of the following information...
Everyone else-
My brother and I discussed it and we wanted to do something different... Below is what we came up with, and I hope it helps a few... One is specifically for ITB (our personal favorite) and another is for all classes (ITA, ITB, ITC, and ITS).
I think that what we offered could make for some good fair payouts throughout the entire field. Last year it would have awarded 22 drivers, and now that we have had some car class changes that number could increase (This year alone we have had 25 different make/class combinations compete already). We did some research and the vinyl package is a value of $60.00 - $75.00, thus we thought this might be a good way to reach out to a variety of drivers who might be able to actually use the contingency. We will entertain the idea of supplementing different lettering options if someone doesn't want the touring car style number plate.
Company: RST Performance Racing
Contingency: First finishing car of each Make (IE: Acura, Alfa, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Datson, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Opel, Porsche, Saturn, Saab, Toyota, Volvo, VW, Etc.)
Prize: Free vinyl Touring Car Number/Class Plate and Name Package (2 door plates, 1 hood plate, 2 names), see website for more details
Eligibility: ITA, ITB, ITC, ITS
Rules/Regs: Top 3 finishers in class must receive a post race inspection that includes removal of head and/or a compression ratio test. Must supply a photo of car at track displaying the decal. (Photographer available upon request)
Requirements: Must display 2 www.rstperformance.com decals
Contact Name and Number: Raymond Blethen, 603-738-6686, [email protected]
Company: RST Performance Racing
Contingency: 1st place in class
Prize: $100.00 toward 2006 SCCA NER Entry fee

I guess the only thing I need to check is with Brian M. if we can promote NER, in giving ITB 1st place the $100.00 towards a 2006 SCCA NER entry fee. If we are not allowed to give $100.00 towards an NER entry fee it will probably be a cash payout.

As a reminder, all those who's requirements for payout include a tear-down of any kind...
You had better get that going from an approval and logistical standpoint. There are MANY hurdles to overcome. I would suggest attending a Comp Board meeting or two.

Andy and others-
I wont be at the next couple comp board meetings (and I generally go to almost all of them) as I will be at the National events supporting my father and Stewarding. I am also going to Hawaii for a couple weeks on a well-earned vacation from racing and work.
Also FYI my brother is or has moved to the Cape for work and will unfortunately be completely consumed by work and will not be in racing at all till after September (He isn’t thrilled about it, but for the long run he had to say yes to a proposition he was given last Friday).
I wish that I (we) could help more, as I would like to see the NARRC become a more prestigious race, but between work, other racing commitments that already have sucked up all my time so I am only attending 2-3 events this year and a vacation I don't have the time. My brother and I have given all that we can and I hope that our contingency has helped in the efforts at making the race more prestigious. If it doesn't happen this year, we will support those that try again next year

Ray, thanks for putting up some contingency $, it's great to see people kicking in.
As Andy's friend and partner, I want to point out that he's devoting a lot of time and effort to spearheading this thing for the good of the NARRC.
And I want to hammer home this point: if you're offering a contingency that requires a teardown, *it's up to you to pull everything together.* Andy's not going to organize that; Flatout's not going to organize it; and there's no reason to think the host region will organize it.
I'm not trying to squelch any of the generous contingency offers that have been made. But an idea is only as good as its execution - anybody out there truly willing to execute the teardown idea?
