Registration closes on Friday evening at 8PM. After this point, all pilots will be checked in and vTx frequencies and racing heats will be assigned based on NVRC’s ranking system (looks at your past 10 races to set heats).
IMPORTANT – you must show your AMA card and FAA Registration. If we cannot verify your AMA and FAA, you will not be allowed to fly.
$10 landing fee for non-NVRC club members, $5 if you show your NVRC member card. Landing fee includes snacks and drinks during the races.
**Novice and intermediate level pilots will be grouped as best as possible into heats with their peers.
