04/14/06: June Entry Form Incorrect

The June entry form has one small misprint in it. The correct pricing for the event is listed on the cover page under "June Event". The pricing on the entry list is INCORRECT. But the schedule of events is correct. Make sure you read the cover page to its entirety as it contains all the times to get in the track along with pricing for the weekend.
Sorry for the mix up.

Thanks,
NHKA Road Racing Series

11/18/04: Final 2004 Results

I only have a few minutes before I need to catch a plane but I know everyone is waiting on the final year end results and David just sent them to me. So, here they are. I will pretty it up and fix all the other related links to it when I get back next week.


09/10/04: Here are the results through the August 2004 event.


09/08/04:

The old NHKA WEB TALK forum I was using is nearing the end of it's ability. I never expected it to grow to over 1,000 posts. I have put up a brand new NHKA forum with much better capabilities (image uploading, database backend, email support, etc) The addition of the ability to upload images will also help the NHKA FOR SALE forum. My original intention was to port the old forum into the new but it's just going to be way to much work. So, I decided to start over and leave the old forums up for historical value. There's still a lot of great stuff on the old forums and I don't want to loose it. Thanks to everyone that contributed to the old forum and I hope you will all continue to contribute to the new forum!

I have also received the NHKA results through August and will get them posted shortly.


08/25/04: The next NHKA Road Course event will be the WKA National held on October 15-17, 2004. Pre entry forms can be obtained from the WKA web site. Please note that the pre-entry date is September 8, 2004. Do not send your entries in before that date.

Here is a direct link to the pre-entry form.

Here are the June event documents in pdf format.


04/30/04: Some Site News:

The April results were missing the CIK 125 Sprint 1 results. I have updated the April results to include them.

A number of people have shown interest in a ForSale section. I had set up a temporary forsale forum for this purpose but it lacks the functionality of a real classified section, such as being able to edit your posts, put up pictures, etc. I have put up a classified section for testing and request people take a look and try it out. I am still working on it but at least you can see what it looks like and how it works. Feel free to post test Ads but don't post real Ads because it will all be lost when it goes live. Also, email me any feedback. Email notification of Ad's will not work on this test system. If it appears to work well I'll put it up live in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,
Alan

05/19/03: Important Message about this web site!

Welcome to the new look of the NHKA Racing Series web site. I'll be adding in more of the content from the old site over the next week. Some is historical and I probably won't put it back in unless someone requests something specific. I have added a Photo Gallery for all of you to share pictures . Please limit the size of your pictures to 640x480. Hopefully it won't get out of control. Also, as before, the NHKA forum is still available for discussions and questions.

Feel free to email me with any comments. If anyone has any graphics skills (I certainly don't) and wants to contribute let me know. Particularly we need a new NHKA Racing Series logo for the top right of this page. It's 315x95. Hope everyone has a great season!

Thanks,
Alan



05/15/03: Important Message about this web site!

Okay if you found this page you're probably wondering what's up. Well, I got sick and tired of trying to deal with my previous hosting company (Interland) and AlnTricia.Net has a new home (iPowerWeb). If ya like gory details you can check out my battle with Interland here.

A lot of links won't work until I correct them and I've been meaning to give this web site a face lift for sometime now. So bear with me for a few days and I'll get us back up and running with a fresh look. I'm also toying with the idea of allowing pictures to be posted.

Thanks,
Alan



05/05/03: WKA Approves 2 Speed Rotax Local Class

We have received approval from WKA to run the 2 speed Rotax as a local option class. They will run with and be scored with the ICC karts. If you have questions, call 603-434-9788 between 9 am and noon.

Sincerely,
David Whitesell


04/28/03: Special Notice for 2 Speed Rotax Owners

It has been requested by several competitors in the NHKA Spec 125 and Sealed Rotax Max classes to be allowed to run in both the NHKA Spec 125 and the Sealed Rotax Max class at the same time (Race #13) on Sunday.

It has been decided (since there is a request in at this time with WKA) to allow a driver to enter both classes that run at the same time. To do so you must pay for and enter both classes, provide and have 2 transponders on the kart (Registration must have the numbers from both transponders). You will be grided in your entry or pre-entry position in the second grided class. You will start when the second class starts. The AMB scoring system will score you in both classes (since you will have 2 different transponders). Tech will be per each class entered.

If you have any questions (call 603-434-9778) or email me. If you would like to pre-enter, you can either down load the pre-entry form from the website or just write all of the information on a sheet of paper and mail it to me.

Thanks,
David Whitesell



04/14/03: Special Notice for 2 Speed Rotax Owners

WKA has not given us permission to run the 2 Speed Rotax Shifter on the Road Course. We have it on the May schedule, but unless WKA gives their approval prior to our May race, we are not going to be able to allow them to run on the Road Course.

Please watch this web site or call me at 603-434-9778 closer to the May race date to see if we get approval. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
David Whitesell



04/11/03: Next NHKA Racing Series - May 9-11, 2003.

Here are the May event documents in pdf format.

I’m sitting here writing the flyer for the upcoming event and it is snowing. I hope we got all of the bad-weather weekends out of the way when our first event was cancelled...(See flyer for more info)

03/11/03: Special Important Notice

Due to what the Staff at New Hampshire International Speedway feels is going to be insurmountable odds, as there is currently upwards of 18 inches of snow and ice on the track, with snow drifts of 5 feet in many places and more snow predicted. With track renovations and Mother nature it is impossible to host a quality event (cars can run with running water, but karts can not)

With this in mind, the first event for the NHKA Racing Series, has been cancelled by NHIS. The exact date of the replacement race is in the works at this time. More information will follow as soon as it is available. We will be running a five (5) race series.

The May event will host the banquet on Friday night and feature extended Friday practice. We are sorry this has happened, but the timeliness of this notice has made it possible for you to make other plans.

Sincerely,
Van Gilder and David Whitesell
