2021 pre-season update

28 May 2021 by Daz Whitehead

Hello All,
Apologies for the delay, we have a lot to organise and a few items still to put in order before we get underway for 2021. Please take a couple of minutes to read the notes below:

MEMBERSHIP
Any membership paid for 2020 will remain valid for the 2021 race season.
If you need to renew your subscription, please do so as soon as
possible.

DISCLAIMER UPDATES
We will update the disclaimers for membership, race entry and signing-on to reflect the general situation, which will basically say:
1. if you have or start to display coronavirus symptoms, follow the current government guidance
2. respect the current government restrictions on travel to & from any affected areas
3. social distancing, hands; face; space; fresh air

RACE CALENDAR
20th June – Test event
26-27 June – Yorkshire Motorsport Festival
10-11 July – Chester-le-Street Steam

14-15 August – 555 (hosted by WMLMRA)

TeamApp will be updated with these Events and race entry will be opened as soon as possible. Please register as normal for all Events.
The Test Event will consist of a meeting, an open forum, and a chance to test your mowers and all the club kit before Round 1. Entry will be free of charge as normal.
All Events are subject to change dependant on latest guidance and restrictions.
Any events cancelled at short notice for reasons beyond our control will
be refunded in full at the earliest opportunity.

There will not be a 6hr endurance race this year for a variety of reasons.
We look forward to reinstating this event in 2022

PITS & PADDOCK
To help maintain social distancing, please ensure a minimum 4 metre gap between your own vehicle and any other.
Scrutineering will continue as normal with addition of face masks and any other personal protective equipment deemed necessary at the time

ENGINES
As previously advised, your racing lawn mower must meet the regulations defined in the 2020 NWLMRA Handbook to be eligible to win any 2021 Championships.
We will allow use of the 30-series 16hp Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-Twins with the aim being to approve these in the 2022 NWLMRA Championships.
Prices and availability for new engines will be completed shortly.

Clearly, we have to remain cautious but optimistic and not become complacent.

We look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

Daz, Dave & Rozza
