To run? Technically no. You would just run as a visitor with a 600 number (600-699)

To compete for points and year-end trophy/jacket and ability to pre-register online and run with a permanent number year round? YES
you can pre-register without a points card now.

Welcome, PJ! With this organization, I'd definitely use the phone to get anything done quickly. The number's 800-770-2055. See you this weekend!
Once you know your member #, on the web site you can log in and go to My Membership which has an option to print out a membership verification. You can use this as proof of membership if you don't get the card in the mail.

Thanks MIke... I actually came to the Dec practice out in Fontucky, which got my feet a little wet. Got to meet a couple people and had a few ride with me. I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST, so I'm really looking forward to getting into the "Championship" events now... :)

PLUS, I got my car a little more dialed in since then... it was bone stock when I brought it out. I got the suspension done / some other stuff so it handles ALOT better now....

Muahahahhaah !!! }:)
