NESC notes
Numbers.
We have an ongoing issue with rider numbers, lack of numbers and 2 or 3 different numbers on the riders bikes, backs, etc. The problem exists across all classes, including some Vets and Experts who should know better. It has been a month now since we have began racing and everyone should have had time to get their proper numbers and plate colors on their bikes, shirts and chest protectors. We must insist that all riders have correct, matching numbers, on their bikes and backs beginning on May 4th.
Effective immediately: Any rider without their correct number on their bikes and backs will not be allowed to ride in the pits on race-day. If the problem persists, the penalty may be increased to a rider being downed a lap or even disqualified for the day. Only one-day riders will be given some leniency.
Bike changes.
The reason we allowed bike changes was for riders who came to the track and broke down and were able to use a different bike for the rest of the day.
It has gotten out of control. Riders are showing up with different bikes/brands with different numbers and putting the temporary number (the number they really wanted but did not get) on entry forms and signing up assuming that they we be correctly entered into the computer. When scoring is done and the alternate number shows up we cannot identify the rider and most often he is not scored. After the fact, we have the rider show up and tell us that they put the different number on their form and want the scores changed. This is not acceptable!
You must ride with your current assigned NESC number. Any change in bike, brand, and number is only allowed if the bike change form is filled out and handed in to NESC registration or to the referee, if you are on the starting line. The computer must be changed to reflect alternate numbers so that the scorers will know who you are. After the race day is over, we must go back in and replace your number with your correct number. If this is not done, then riders points standings are affected and you may appear two or three times in the class listing and your points will not total correctly.
NESC jackets and plaques
Stop by the Mead's trailer at the races to pick up your 2007 jacket and plaques if you did not make it to the awards banquet. You can also pick up your friends stuff if they aren't coming to the races.
Bike classes
For 2008 and on we will be using the AMA MX Lites and Motocross terminology as well as the super mini class instead of the 105cc class. New engine size specifications are also listed. It is important that our riders understand that the 4-stroke, 250F's will no longer allowed to run in the Motocross (old 200+) class. 250 2-strokes will NOT be allowed to ride in the 125 class at NESC, just the 250 4-strokes.
The 2-day Jolly Roger's event over the 4th of Jully weekend, willl be championships on both days now. Origialy planned as 1 moto each day,it's back to a 2-day event.

If anyone has a question about their number, if they signed up during the race season and don't see their number yet, or they have another issue; they can email me or call Ruthie at 207-251-4249. Please don't call if you want a two digit number. Numbers are not given out over the phone.
