Entry fees are $475. For an additional fee, cars in these 4 NAMEC classes are also invited to run in the NASA sprint races in the Super Unlimited group. This will include practice, qualifying and 4 sprint races. This is a total of over 4 hours of track time for the weekend not counting the test and tune day on Friday. You can enter one race at a time or multiple races.
Licenses

An annual NAMEC license and NASA license are required and can be obtained by having a valid competition license from NASA, SCCA or FIA. Details of licensing is described below. This is a one time annual requirement.

Drivers

The 1 hour 45 minute enduros can have 1 driver or 2. The 4 hour enduro requires at least two and no more than 4 drivers.

Re-Fueling

There will be one mandatory timed fueling stop for the 1 hr 45 min enduros to accommodate cars without dry break fueling. More for the 4 hour race.

Fuel

CN and C3 cars max octane is 104. Fuel is open for 2008 for SRF and DSR/CSR.

Tires

Tires are open for 2008. We are working on a tire contingency program with Goodyear and hope to have that worked out in the next few days.

Trophies and Prize Money

Each class with more than 3 entrants will be awarded:

First Place: $150, Trophy and NAMEC Shirt

Second Place: $75, Trophy and NAMEC Shirt

Third Place: $50 and NAMEC Shirt

As the size of the classes grow through the year and as we can attract new sponsors, we will increase the prize money.
