General League Rules

League Mission:

Here at LNR we strive to foster a more laid back atmosphere of fun and friendship, a “friends first, competitors second” mentality. This is the way we’ve operated our league since day one when it was founded by a group of friends in the Tampa, Florida, area that enjoyed the NR2003 game back in 2004. That’s not to say that we shy away from competition, but more to say that we don’t care how fast you are, it’s your attitude on and off the track that matters here. We want to ensure that LNR remains a league that is fun for everyone.
