Mylaps transponder update

Mylaps has finally given riders some updates and now they have a “fix” for the older version X2’s that would not connect/charge. The NESC has a few of these “fix” packs available at sign-up. Newer versions will not have the issue. Also there are instructions on how to tell if the X2’s are activated and how much time they have left.

Open practice Saturday, October 1st, NHMX, Lempster, NH

Gates open on Friday afternoon, practice is from 10:00AM till 4:00PM on Saturday. Get here before Sunday's race and put in a few extra laps.

Sunday, October 2nd, NHMX, Lempster, NH

It's that time of year again, fall in New England means great riding weather but it also means that the season is winding down and this Sunday's race at Tony Lorusso's NHMX is the last race of the year for that location. That's right, the last one. If you've talked to other riders who have been to NHMX (formally Jolly Roger) there's no doubt they've told you how much better the place has gotten in the last year, this Sunday will be your last chance to see for yourself as round ten of the fall series takes place there.
NHMX is a super fun layout with lots of elevation changes, big jumps and a variety of dirt.

Remember if you need to rent a transponder there is a $200 cash deposit.

Sign-up in the morning from 7:00-8:45

Camping is free and there are plenty of nice level spots to park.

There is water available in the pits. Some spots have water and electric hookups (for a small fee, first come first served)

Great food available

Use these directions if you've never been to NHMX before, it's an easy drive right on Rt. 10

Please have your forms all filled out before you get to the track, use this form, fill it out on your computer and then print it out at home on your printer.

Notes from the office

Forms must be completely filled out, all information must be on the forms before they can be processed, especially transponder numbers and notary stamps.

Incomplete forms must be returned, unprocessed.

Also, make sure you mail your pre-entry form to the track you want to race at and not the NESC, the pre-entry addresses are here.

Transponders

Rule updates for 2016

Youth c riders to youth b changes to 30 points (full amateur). Seems that this is a big problem for those attending LL qualifiers these days b is b with them so if you race youth B at NESC and elsewhere they consider you to be full amateur in all classes.

The other notable changes were to one-day fees, One day rider fees are available for $10 per day for riders with Mylaps transponders. The fee for riders without transponders will be $20 plus a $10 fee for purchase of the transponder holder. A $200, refundable, transponder security deposit fee (CASH ONLY) will be required for each transponder. If you use this option the fee will not be added on at a later date and not used towards a full NESC competition card. You will earn prizes for the day as they apply. No Tom Timonen benefits, No championship points for one day riders. One day riders do earn promotional points. One day riders can earn contingencies if they apply.

No more frame numbers required on entry forms.

The address change for Roger Davis, the administrator of The Tom Timonen Fund. The new address is:
Roger Davis c/o
Davis & Rubin
300 Crown Colony Drive, Suite 504
Quincy, MA 02169
Tel: 617-471-4300 between 9:00-5:00 PM only, Fax: 617-742-4304 Mon. through Fri.

Further clarification of the Expert/Pro class. Riders who have earned a two digit national number or qualified for a national or supercross, earned a top five position in an NESC Pro/Expert championship series or earned a total of 220 promotional points are Pro riders. An expert rider must be of 16 years of age with an accumulation of 120 promotional points.

Now there's a 10 race minimum required to be eligible for year end awards. Some tracks feel that we have low turnouts at some events because riders have no commitment to the series, they race only half of the events. They can skip all the Maine races and still get 7 per half by going only to MA and CT to ride.

Also it is very important to understand that the parental consent form listed is for parents that are sending their minors to race events where they will not be present. They must name the person acting as guardian for the day, it must be notarized and we need a new form for every event. We have no blanket minor releases at NESC.

Did you know...

Did you know that the NESC is a non-profit corporation? The NESC runs off only the funds collected from membership fees (either full year or one day) and the transponder rental fees. The NESC does not make money from the race entries and gate fees at the races.
Did you know that one dollar from every entry goes into the Tom Timonen Fund that is in place to help riders injured in NESC races?
