2012 AMA/ Kenda National Hare & Hound Championship Numbering System

One of the recurring issues with the National Hare and Hound Series has been the lack of uniformity within its numbering system. With each of the organizations having a different numbering system it is difficult for riders to identify themselves as a series rider, when they have actually raced more than one event.

As a solution to the obvious lack of a good numbering program, the NHHA has created a numbering system for all NON-EARNED-NUMBERED racers. An Earned-Numbered-Racer is someone who has competed in the 2011 season, and scored enough points in any of the "A-Classes" to finish within the Top 20 of their respective class. The earned numbers can only be used for competition in the same class, and are not eligible to be used if the "A Rider" is switching classes for 2012.

For those of you who haven't earned an "A-Class Number," recognition will be given in the form of an assigned series number. Pre-printed numbers/backgrounds will be provided at each of the 10 rounds. Once you have been issued a number, you will be allowed to retain that number for the remainder of the 2012 season. Because only "A-Classes" provide earned numbers, these issued numbers will be provided on a first come, first served basis and will be issued in numeric order. These numbers will only be issued one time, and if a rider fails to return to a later round with their assigned number, a new number will be assigned to them.

The NHHA pre-printed numbers will feature the NHHA Logo, and will be of ample quality to survive through each of the 10 rounds.

The numbers have arrived and are boxed and ready to distribute. They are a pre-printed Dirt Digit number, approx the size of your front number plate, and will be distributed on a first come first served basis. The cost for the numbers are $5 each (Cash or Check accepted-NO CREDIT), and will be good for the entire season. Each number will only be issued once, so if you don't return with it you need to purchase a new number. So go get yourself a new front number plate if you're looking to keep it for the whole season on its own clean plate.

Once you have your assigned number, it can be converted into a pre-printed background ( i.e. Dirt Digits, ZLT, RidePG etc...) granted it meets the NHHA numbering guidelines, which can be found here. Riders who purchase the NHHA number will be eligible for a $5 refund from Dirt Digits if you choose to move forward and have pre-printed back grounds for your bike. For more info on the numbering program, contact Chris Blais or Ryan Sanders.

Pre-printed backgrounds MUST match your assigned NHHA number, or you will be required to purchase a new number plate at the event.

Local rider only? No Problem.

Local riders will not be required to run a National pre-printed number, and can instead decide between either their earned local or assigned National number. The NHHA will work with each of the local racing organizations to ensure that there is no numbering issue with duplicate numbers.

All numbers are subject to approval by the NHHA Scoring Staff, and will be assigned ON LOCATION ONLY. For more information on the NHHA Numbering program, look to www.NationalHareandHound.com

EARNED A-CLASS NUMBERS!

All earned "A-Class" numbers must be run in accordance to the AMA National Hare and Hound numbering guidelines. Black backgrounds with white numbers must be used, and each number must start with the correct Uppercase "N," followed by the earned number, and finally followed by the class identifier in upper case at half the height of the preceding N and earned number.

Example: N1, N1M, N1R, N1A
