 Information for club members:

At the EGM in November, 3 matters were voted on – (1) it was agreed to lower, for the 2017 season, the threshold of club points’ meetings attended to qualify for an end of season trophy.  (2) it was agreed to amend the wording of rule #61, to clarify the operation of the dropped score system.  (3) it was agreed that Leewood would vote at NWAA in favour of keeping league qualifier meetings closed.

The matter of the champion of champions races was discussed at the AGM in December.  After discussion, it was voted on and passed in favour of changing the constitution from the start of 2018, such that rule#59 now reads -  All meetings run at Leewood, within the championship season, will be points meetings with any extra dates added within the period being points meetings at the discretion of the Committee. The date of the Champ of Champs meeting will be notified before the racing season starts, and if the Champ of Champs races cannot be run on the notified date, then they will be run at the next available meeting – whether this be in the same season or the following season.  As part of the vote it was agreed that this would not apply retrospectively to the 2017 season, and so the 2017 champ of champs will not be run.  The 2018 Champ of Champs meeting will be held on 2nd September.

NASA will be working during 2017 to develop a new set of improved technical rule books for each of the classes.  In the meantime, the rule books published in 2015 remain in force, along with any updates released since they were published.  Please see the attached document for details of the additional rules applicable for each class. 

Please see the link below to the latest NASA members newsletter - it contains important information for all drivers; including rule changes for the 2017 season.
