RMLRA / RMBRA News
Schedule Update for the Next Two Weeks
 🚨 ⚠ ANNOUNCEMENT ⚠ 🚨 We received news that Intermountain Speedway is allowed to start holding races this weekend (tomorrow). A couple clarifications regarding their opening the next couple weeks:SATURDAY, MAY 16th: Legends and Bandoleros have been invited to race. This will not be an INEX sanctioned event, nor will RMLRA/RMBRA points will be awarded. SATURDAY, MAY 23rd: This is a regularly scheduled event on the original 2020 RMLRA/RMBRA tour. It will be an @us U.S. Legend Cars International and INEX sanctioned event with national points up for grabs.That being said, the club board(s) decided and communicated weeks ago to cancel our tour until at least May 27th due to unpredictable state regulations surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. That decision stands and RMLRA/RMBRA points will not be awarded. MAY 23rd REQUIRED BANDOLERO/ LEGEND ROOKIE ORIENTATION: We will hold a condensed version of our typical orientation day the morning of May 23rd, before the race at 9am. This is required by the short tracks to race if you are: A BANDOLERO DRIVER OR A LEGEND ROOKIE DRIVER. Our goal is still to start our season on Saturday, May 30th at I-25 Speedway in Pueblo, Colorado. We have to wait to see what restrictions will remain in the state of Colorado and if we are able to race under those guidelines. We will not know definitely until the governor announce the changes likely around May 25th. Have your cars ready and keep an eye out for updates!I appreciate your patience with us this season. Your board members are working hard to ensure a successful 2020 tour that is fair for everyone. See you soon!

 It is the early days in May and a lot of race cars have not been able to get on the track yet. I hope all of the car owners and drivers have been checking the US Legends national web page for rules and updates. Just posted May 3, 2020 was a new rule on tires rims and wheel weights. Take time and go to the web site and read this rule. If you are planning to just run Federal tires there are no rule changes. You must meet the rules on Federal tires listed below. There should be some information coming soon on when the tracks will be open for practice. Hang in there, it may be a long month, but flags may be flying soon. In the mean time make sure you have your INEX license and are ready to go racing. Latest News as of May 7, 2020 I was away from Colorado for six weeks when the virus hit the country. Since my wife and I flew we took no chances in flying back home. We spent six weeks in the Houston area and the highlight of the trip was walking around the neighborhood and staying healthy. Just remember to get your INEX license if you have not received it yet. |

 Very Good Turnout for set up class Thanks to all of you from both classes of Legends and Bandoleros that showed up for the set up classes at Leary Racing Products. Here is hoping that you learned a lot and that the information helps you in setting up your race car. Thanks to Darrell L and Darrell J for helping with Legend car instructions. Jeff Groff from the TSR Bandolero Race team worked with the Bandolero parents. I left early and did not see if anybody else was helping. I am sure that several members of the TSR team helped with the class. The photographs of paid membership drivers will be taken at the track hopefully in March during the hot lap practices. Scotty Scott takes these pictures and posts them on the web site. Here is hoping that he will be able to do this during the month of March before the season starts. It has been our practice to post only pictures of RMLRA members. Hot lap and CNS track tech will be held during the month of March. There are three practice dates scheduled. March 14, 21, 28 Still looking for someone to take over the Raceceiver this season and take over the responsibility of keeping the race cars informed when the cars are on the track. I will not be at the track during the month of March and do not plan to travel to many of the out of town races. Hope to make a few of the CNS races. Do get your INEX license applications in the mail. The application for the minor license does take time to get. My advice is to get it in the mail now. Please try to get the applications in the mail now. I am not sure if I will be there to accept the applications on the first scheduled race date, April 18, 2020 The Rumble in the Rockies will be raced May 22-24 at Hwy 92 Speedway in Gering, NE, Intermountain Speedway in Cheyenne, Wy, and at Colorado National Speedway in Dacona, Co. Get your reservations in the mail for this three days of racing. There are many motels in the area and you should be planning ahead for The Rumble In The Rockies National Qualifier. |

You will need to have your Raceceiver for this Orientation class. A lunch is being organized as was held in April 2019. More information to come. Legend drivers this would be a good time to get some practice at this track if you need it. For all you new drivers CNS is a very fast track and sometimes drivers have a tendency to over drive the car, loosing control, making contact with other race cars and damaging their cars. One big thing to think about is that if you loose control of your car and start to spin backward or up to the wall, make sure you keep the brakes on until traffic has cleared you. By rolling back down the track in front of other cars that are looking to avoid your car. |

 February Set up class for Legends and Bandoleros The RMLRA made a good start for the 2020 season as Chris Eggleston won three Feature races this past weekend to take home all the hardware during the big weekend of racing. DJ Stewart finished second and Travis Roe with a fourth place finish in the fifty lap feature race on Sunday. Darrell J. also won a feature race on Friday night.You can find the results at Tucson Speedway.com under results. All three days are shown with the results from the three mains along with qualifying. Good job drivers. Nine drivers from our area made the trip to race The Chilly Willy weekend in Tucson.Set Up Class Set up classes to be held at Leary Racing February 22, 2020 This class starts at 10am New car drivers and owners should attend this set up class. Bring a seat with you if you think you may need one. The class usually runs around two hours. Bandos 12:30 PM Instructor Jeff Groff TSR Racing Read the Rule Book As we prepare for the upcoming season all drivers should take time to read the INEX rule book and have themselves with the knowledge of what the rule book says. Remember the main rule that if the rule book says that you cannot do it, it cannot be done. Tech rules are pretty clear and if a no-go gauge is used, there is no excuse for error in tech. Read the rules of replacing parts on your car. This is a spec-racing class. One of the new rules to be watched closely this season is what may appear on social media. Making complaints with profanity or hand gestures may find you on your way home very early with a DQ and nothing to show for the race date at the track. Race tracks are to report the problems to INEX and the guilty party may be paying the fine. Remember the driver is responsible for the pit crew and the driver will receive the fine and suspension. CNS General Rules @ CNS Web Site Please do read the rules for the race tracks that we race at, especially restarts, where you can accelerate and when you can pass the car in front of you when the green flag starts the race. The front row on the start of the race should be side by side. Penalty on the restart may send you to the rear. Don’t forget the Tri-State Swap Meet February 8th & 9th. Also the Rumble in the Rockies coming this Memorial Day weekend in May. |
2020 Membership Meeting
 RMLRA NEWSLETTER December 2019 The Bandolero cars are being reorganized for the 2020 season. Since the Bandolero class was organized in 2018 the car count has been good at CNS but could use a few more participants at the other three tracks that we race at here in the Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska area. CHILLY WILLY Tuscon, AZ RMLRA 2019/20 Fuel Rule not buy the racing fuel that CNS has available for their Super Late Models and other classes. Fuel samples will be tested after feature races if needed. If you are traveling to race a INEX championship race, make sure that you have drained your tank before going to that track as sometimes what you buy at that track or designated place to purchase fuel may not test clean when tested. Car Numbers for Legends & Bandoleros We do have a rule in the organization about racing the same number that a member is racingthat you have on your car. Please check with Harold for a number to place on your car. Tracks that we race at with score boards cannot add a number or letter for your car. Please help us out when thinking of a number for your car. When you join the RMLRA your number is yours as long as your membership is paid. We also want you to race at least once a year. If by chance you sell your car I would like to know. Thanks for your help with this item. I try to keep up with email addresses and news releases and I need your address.
