NRS/Nameless Rally general info
April 01, 2013 09:30PM
Some general info...

NRS license and membership ($95)will be available at the event but better to get them now. Time is always short the day of the race.

Canadians will be on the hook for a $45 membership only with a valid CARS license.

Rules...we don't need no stinking rules...car prep rules will be a (if it makes sense we'll allow it) blend of NRS and the other guys. Any car that would be legal for any other NW event will be fine. Competitor discomfort is not the intention here. Car classes will be the PNW designations we've used for years. G2,G5, Open, Open lyte etc. more details when the supps get published. If you have a question or concern then please ask, we'll get it dealt with.

Numbers, stickers and the like. If you have an assigned RA number then you'll use that. If you have no number then pick one and stick it ...one the doors, be prepared to change it though. Preference will be given to the RA permanent numbers because those guys charge for replacements. However if you want to use 199 and Travis ain't here then more power to ya! For obvious reasons I better not be able to read any brand X stickers on a car. We maybe if the word "sucks" or a similar sounding word is before or after...I will have a eunuch covering brand X with racer's tape. That eunuch will be the first person I catch with said brand x stickers visable (very thinly veiled threat there).

More as I make it up...

might be a good time to try out the "only 2wd" combo of G2 / G5?

Be nice if the numbers were visable to the nice folks doing scoring . I'd say a foot tall of contratsin color or on a white backer of some sorts.

If we can get the NRS strong in about 3 events in the 'NW' I'd bet we can get a system worked out.

Not that it matters, but I don't get it... Do you mean in the numbers or are you talking no branded stuff over the entire car? ie: NGK Sparkplugs is a nokey dokey?

This rally has the Right and Proper Attitude. The highest compliment I can think of is that Ray would be proud.

I suspect that he is talking about the sanctioning body which shall not be named.

And spikkin o uniformity, which I've always taken as the sign of a mini-brain*,
The dwiver and co-dwiver names in the window, are we still going to be forced to wiolate American intellectual property laws and steal without compensation from the owners of Helvetica BOLD as per the Wawwy Amerwica wules?

The NRS rules don't mention specifics of "car decoration", they leave that to the championship regs. The rules generally stick to rally operations and leave marketing/promotions to other documents. So no, you wouldn't be breaking an NRS GRR rule if you had no names on your car, or if it was in a different font, or if you used state flags (or pirate flags, which might be especially appropriate in this particular scenario).

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

Your Fuddian slips are annoying as hell and no where near as funny as you think they are. For everyone's sake please grow up and stop!

And, since the end-user doesn't need a license to use the font, just the commercial user, unless you're producing the names yourself using an unlicensed version of helvetica (a system font licensed with Apple computers and often substituted with Ariel as a system font on PC computers) there is no breach of IP law.
