NMPRA

I’m looking for some volunteers to help with processing the different classes for our Nats. It seems like it’s the same folks each year, so please let’s see if we can get a couple of new faces to assist. I would prefer an email as opposed to this thread. If I can get 4 volunteers, great! It will hel...

As of April 1 2024, this is the list of current members for the year. Unless you raced at Whittier, there is still a chance to bring your membership up to date so you can earn some points this year while keeping in mind a membership is mandatory for this years NATS. My goal is to make the cost easie...

No I didn’t ask for any $$, so please don’t send me any…lol Check your spam just in case and if you didn’t receive it, please let me know so we can update your information on file. The email went out to all current NM...

I received a communication today that our long time race friend Tom Hegland has passed away. Tom was very active when I started racing and eventually became the District 1 VP writing articles and helping newcomers into racing. My condolences to the Hegland Family..

The Basin Race is in the books and while we fell short of the goal by 1 round, the 7 rounds of competition gave us some of the very best head to head heat racing I've ever seen. There was a couple of hours of "fast air" where it seemed like going sub-minute was easy. I can honestly say that at least...

How about that. Thanks Tom for the information!!

We just have altitude to contend with like it’s always been and the pylon guys have been good. Generally, sanctioned events like our pylon races have not captured the attention of the Van Nuys...

Please verify the email address matches the name. Jim is correct. They are trying to open a dialogue to get $$.

The storm approaching shows rain on Friday and Saturday(Mar 1-2) with a 40% chance on Sunday giving us 1 practice day and a possibility of racing on Sunday. Keep in mind with the recent ...

I would personally like to thank Lee for being at the right place at the right time with the right skills and donating his time to continue with Mike’s legacy of assembling and repairing our engines so we could play with our toys. Time is the most precious thing with have as we continue to learn wit...

The Basin has been cleaned up enough to hold our event. I was there today and inspected the field and took some pictures. There is a few things that need to be done, but overall it’s in much better shape than I had expected so soon after this last rain.
