Current Group:

Current Admins: Jason Fellenbaum & Tom Robbio - These are the guys currently handling the running the league and group in general.

Retired Admins: Tom Oliver, Brian Sponseller, Scott Latimer, Tim Doyle, Stu Vitue, Bill Dorsey, and few others hanging around: - While not active day to day, they serve as sounding boards and provide support via advise, wisdom, humor, technical and monetary support. They are welcome to join in at anytime, but most have moved on to other activities.


Qualifications to be an Admin: #1 - Be a JRL member - #2 - Be active - #3 - Be involved - #4 Be able to use a computer and associated programs in a functional manner #5 - Have ideas to grow and make the league the best it can be #6 - Have humility with other members and when your ideas are shot down. #7 - Be able to pick yourself back up and don't be gun shy just because a previous idea was voted down. Being able to Fail and try again is very important.

We're basically looking for people to help grow the league and help run the league. Could be officiating, sending out emails, recruiting, starting up a new project from scratch. Come with a vision or two, or three for the future. Short term goals, long term goals, just come with some ideas.

What we offer: Nothing. This is a non-paying position, with little perks, and little praise. At times comes with much criticism, second guessing, and general loathing. Work weeks are relatively light from 5-20 hour work weeks, Overtime as needed. ]]> General Discussion J_Fellenbaum http://forum.justracin.net/showthread.php?3289-Now-Hiring-JRL-Admins http://forum.justracin.net/showthread.php?3288-The-2012-WinsTonEighty-Event-is-Announced!&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 06:09:45 GMT *_The 2012 WinsTonEighty Event_* *What’s in a name?* The WinsTonEighty is a play on names from the formerly named Nascar All-Star Race “The...

The 2012 WinsTonEighty Event

What’s in a name? The WinsTonEighty is a play on names from the formerly named Nascar All-Star Race “The Winston.”
So what’s it mean? JRL started on TEN w/ Nascar Racing 2 by Papyrus. Curt (Winwalkr) and his wife would setup races by invite only to promote great competition, but more importantly respectful racing. The WinVites were a tool to not only promote great racing, but was used as a screening mechanism for their league SARC that ran on Tuesday’s and Thursdays.
After the end of TEN and the shipping of Nascar Racing 3, Tom Oliver (TonEighty) and a group of members invested the time and money to put together a server. With Curt and Mary no longer in the picture, Tom took over running the leagues and the league name was changed to JustRacin, a league that wasn’t concerned about your speed of where you came from, but only wanted to promote quality, respectful racing.
So put it all together and the “WinsToneighty” name pays homage to our founding leadership.
So what’s in store for the 2012 Edition? A little of everything! Plan for a night of fun and frustration, remember, while we’ll crown a winner and hand out some prizes, this is a night FOR FUN!

Question: “If the cautions comes out after segment 2 begins, can I pit for tires if I wasn’t allowed to before?”

Answer: “No.”
Question: “I can only stay up for the first legends track race, Can I still run?”
Answer: “Yes.”
