Red Tornado Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Didn't know if number of events to qualify had been determined yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 page 54 of the TT rules: In order to be eligible to compete in the (earlier) NASA Eastern States Championship a TTcompetitor must score TT points in four regional TT events, in any region, in any TT class, on at least four (4) different event days, prior to the registration deadline for the Championships. I would ASSume for racing it'd be 4 races - that'd mirror prior practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tornado Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Since it's not a national anymore specifics around TT and racing may have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILIKETODRIVE Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I would ASSume for racing it'd be 4 races - that'd mirror prior practice. Agreed. If NASA made req's for TTers and Racers different that would be really odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILIKETODRIVE Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 ...so it really hasn't changed except that the req's are 1 total lower. IIRC it was 5 for TT and 5 or 4/1 for racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For east, yeah, since it is a little earlier in the year. West is 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivinhardz06 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Races (or like 2 or 3 of them) used to count towards TT, but not vice versa. Is that still the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 for those that didn't click the link Jon had... official answer from Will Faules... TT has it's own qualifying requirements, yes. Race req: 4 races or 3 races and 1 tt result Tt req: 4 tt results. 1 tt can count towards the race requirements, so essentially what these folks need are 3 races and 4 tt results.

drivinhardz06 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 for those that didn't click the link Jon had... You know we ain't got time to click and read stuff wow, so before where races counted towards TT's now they don't So looks like 3 races and 4 TT's will get you a ticket to nats if you want to do both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 wow, so before where races counted towards TT's now they don't nope, not since at least 2011 (that's as far back as I have archived TT rules on this machine - could be even farther back... possibly 2009 and maybe even earlier).

Red Tornado Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 So what do enduros count as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 1 race at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getfast Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I was under the impression that 1 start and 1 finish and 1 set of results/points = 1 race, regardless of length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 In previous years long enough enduros (past 6hrs? its been a while) counted as two. Since supps for this year haven't been written or published though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted February 24, 2014 National Staff Share Posted February 24, 2014 wow, so before where races counted towards TT's now they don't nope, not since at least 2011 (that's as far back as I have archived TT rules on this machine - could be even farther back... possibly 2009 and maybe even earlier). when I did nats in '11 they did, so it must have changed in '12 Races have never counted toward TT for Championships eligibility, including in '11. Two TT's used to count toward racing eligibility, though. I'm pretty sure that you did 5 (maybe 6) TT events before the Champs in '11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperkins Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think races should never count toward TT eligibilty. The last thing we need at a national TT event is to have W2W guys out there (who don't really understand the time trial format) just to get track time to practice for their race.

I stand corrected, and memory loss is indeed picking up speed I do remember the two events counting towards the other, but I thought it was Race to TT.
