"Oh no, another Loretta's topic?"

Image

Hey guys, FlowTech and some of our friends are stepping up to host our version of Loretta's this year since nobody has followed through with it yet. Believe me, I understand the skepticism many people will have seeing as this is the third or fourth time somebody has posted about it. Hopefully I can show you guys that this one will be legit and we will do our very best to make sure it runs smooth and is a great time to race for everybody.
I've spent the last few days getting everything ready to announce this event, and it's finally ready to be posted to the forums. This event is going to take about a month in total to complete (don't worry you won't be racing for the whole month). We are going to have two coasts each having: area qualifiers, regional qualifiers, and finally the national race at an updated Loretta Lynn's track for 2014. Racing will be held on Mondays and Fridays at 5:30 P.M. PST until the week of August 25th. The week of August 25th will be the week of the National Race. At the national race, each class is going to have three motos so the days will be split. That week is undecided as far as specific days and times, but we will update this as it gets closer to that week. Everything is written up here, but I will repeat the main points on this post.

Race server will be: events.flowtechmxs.com:19801

How to Sign Up and Qualify
The sign up form is located under the info tabs on this page. You will pick a skill level and region and be given the classes you are allowed to race. That page also has all the track downloads in a tab.

If you need to change your signup, go to this page and create a new support ticket. Fill out the info, and in the message box tell me what you need changed on your signup. Make sure you pick the Department as "Change a Race Signup". You'll be able to see if I have changed it when the status of the message changes from "Open" to "Closed".


Rules and Procedures
The rules are listed on the website. If there are 20 people or less in a specific class at a qualifier or regional, then the moto for that class will only be one lap in order to get results for the transfers database. Signups will be recorded from the database to the race system one hour before each event. So this means even though signups will stay open, you need to make sure you're signed up a full hour before the qualifier you want to race. If you miss the cutoff time, it isn't on us and we will not be adding anybody. We will post the results of each qualifier moto on the FlowTech site so that you know if you made the top 20. If you don't make the top 20, you will become an alternate (21st first alternate, 22nd second alternate, etc...). You can't switch your signup once signups have closed. Also, there is no switching coasts for the regional once you have qualified for your coast at the area qualifiers.

All dates and times are subject to change. We will let you know if they do.



I want to give a thanks to Tony Rubio for convincing me to do this. It wasn't going to happen until he helped me lay out all the dates, tracks, and formats. I also want to thank the track makers for the qualifier tracks. We have not done any edits to those and we are just using them for the races, not saying we made them.

I signed up for West, but the regional is at 5:30PM and I start my college classes at 7PM. If I can't make it in time for the race at the regional, can I switch to the East coast regional?

Devin - I will make a note of it and switch you when the time comes

Guys who need area changed - yes I can change it

Guys who want time changed - No. It's already going to be hard for me to make it all these days. I'm not changing the time and making it 10x harder for me.

Thanks! We really wanted to do our best for this one.



Also to the guys who have already signed up: If you are 21 or older and want to run the new 21+ class, pm me with your name and the class you want to replace 21+ with, and I will change your signup.

I'll do my best. If they are like rf pro champions or top 10 in points then yeah I can move them to pro sport, but other than that I'll let them choose what they want to do.
