Racers and
Fans,
The 2012 NEA Speedway rules are now posted on our website. I would like
to point out a few notable changes for the upcoming season. Please do
not rely on this post for all changes, as there are some tweaks that are
not listed here. I recommend clicking on the link on the home page of
our website 'Complete PDF of 2012 NEA Rules.' In the PDF version, the
rules that were changed or added are in italics. The version on the site
under the 'Rules' link are all one style, so the changes/additions are
not as easily seen. The link below will take you to the PDF version as
well. I would prefer that any questions/comments be made by email. It is
much more convenient to answer an email and this also provides a record
of the questions that come up and the answers that we give for future
reference. Please direct all questions to neaspeedway@gmail.com if
possible. Thanks again for your patience.
Thanks,
