Registration opened this morning for the 50th Annual NARRC Runoffs at Lime Rock on September 26th and 27th.
This is the last NARRC race of the season and Round 8 of the NEDCS Champsionship.
Looks like the groupings will be good as FF, CF, F5, and FV are in Group 6, and all Winged cars and sports racers are in Group 3.
Who will be there?
I have only missed 2 or 3 since 1990 so you count on me being there.

Maybe.......
Rand and I have so far committed. lets make it a good turnout. The Glen Fun One is also shaping up well. Time to get those F's out on the track!
A little creative accounting there I'd say. 50th annual would mean the first one was in 1964. In those days it was simply called The Area One Championship and the final race at Lime Rock was not The Runoffs but The Final Fall Fender Bender. NARRC probably came along in the early '70s.Quote:

I quote, "NYR Invites you to the 50th annual race meeting for the 2014 NARRC Championships".
So any creativity was from NYR !
Mr Rand are you going to be there?Quote:

The championship continued on for a few years like that until the race eventually became a double points race instead of the final decider event.
Prior to that this was a very important & well attended (by racers and spectators alike) regional race that for several years included the Car & Driver Showroom Stock Challenge event. The existence of the C&D SS Challenge lent itself to the "Final Fall Fender Bender" title as those of us who were fortunate enough to see will attest. I believe it was always the final race of the North Atlantic Road Racing Championship.
I don't have any problem with the "creativity" as it seems to be no different than that used by several sanctioning bodies/race tracks to describe an event that continues to take place despite changes in points/championship formats or title sponsors. Great event at a great venue....................

Absolutely perfect weather up at Lime Rock this weekend for the NARRC Runoffs.
Here is a video of the 20 lap main race on Saturday afternoon.
Super fun and clean racing with Jim H!
Enjoy the video. Oh, and I finally got my motor problems sorted out. Car was pulling better than it ever has and set my personal best lap time.

Thanks Will, great video. Looks like a great run for you. Personal bests are always welcomed after finding nagging performance problems. I had a great weekend but came up a little short with a poor setup for old tires.
Good weather and good racing. Not a huge FF field but with everyone running close to the same lap times it made for good racing start to finish.

Thank you for the great video. Out of the cockpit since the end of 2012 I enjoy these driver-eye views of the race. I actually could pick myself out standing on the mound at Pit Out as I work that position for both open wheel race groups at LRP Thompson and NHMS.:thumbsup:
Guys,
Did anyone get a copy of final results for the Saturday afternoon 20 lap "Feature" Group 6 race ?
With a dead golf cart and having forsaken the tree paddocking for B Paddock and the damn knee I never got down there it get one, if you have one could you scan and email to michaelrand37@gmail.com or fax to 860-364-9362, please.....
I assume NYR T&S will in time get results up either on their website or Motorsport Reg but you know what assume means.....
http://www.race-monitor.com/Results/Session/5165563
Does that help?
Agnif,
Thanks BUT I have absolutely no idea what that is...
Dave Lapham won F5 and OA, Bjerke won FF, Devoe 2nd and me 3rd, Katie Lapham was 2nd F5 and Beckley 3rd F5.
In impound a region guy say something about T&S having some sort of issue but then called out the top 3 in each class for photo ops in front of a NARRC banner for the medal ceremony.
But everyone enjoys good fiction....
Eddie Callo has a sheet and he is gonna scan and email.
Again, thanks Agnif.....

Hey, I ain't THAT computer illiterate.
I did respond to whatever that sheet showed, it isn't any session or race result from last weekend !
It changed from earlier.
Also it shows no first place finisher.
and they have Dave Lapham in the 56 and the 47 in the same race. They also have no history of jim MacNichol who was in the 47.
I am impressed by the tightenss of the laptimes for the top guys. A few tenths covering many cars.
For whatever reason it seems it is a partial field sorted by fastest lap times....very odd indeed.
Jim MacNichol did not start the race. Only did a lap or two in Saturday's AM session.
