Getting ready to take your car to the track
There are still drivers inquiring about racing a Legend car this season and we are making room for them. Please contact me for information on your number as we race as the “Rocky Mountain Legends Racing Association” Our schedule includes four tracks in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming. With your INEX license you can race in many states and countries. It is your choice where you race, but we would like to see you racing the dates on our schedule. Don’t forget the Rumble in the Rockies on Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26 This event will be a three day event starting on Friday at Gering, Nebraska, then traveling to race on Saturday night in Cheyenne, Wyoming and then closing out the weekend on Sunday night at ColoradoNational Speedway. All three nights will be National Qualifiers.
Support the dates on our out of town races. Car counts are usually down at these tracks and you can get a lot of experience on these short tracks. Last season was a great year for the RMLRA Legends and we had a Legend car count of thirty-eight cars show up at CNS and thirty cars started the feature event after a B-Main eliminated cars going on to race in the main event.
CNS Practice dates
When the new season rolls around and the vegetation starts to turn green it must be time to take the race car to the track for track inspection of your car and also inspection by the RMLRA to make sure your car is safe to put on the track. CNS will open their track Saturday March 16 for three straight weekends of car inspections and hot lapping. We will try to get the first year drivers on the track by themselves early in the day.
CNS Track Rule
I have listed a few items from the CNS rule book for all cars racing on their track. Please go to their web site and get up to date on their rules.
