NASCAR Heat Racing League Registration |
Welcome to the NASCAR Heat Racing League! We're glad that you're interested in joining the competition. We strongly advise you to review all of the directions and guidelines on this page. If you breeze through this page without reading the instructions, then you're probably not the best candidate for our league. We operate a friendly online gaming community. Our goal is to provide fun and fair competition in a respectful environment. If you disagree with these goals, then you should not participate in our league.

Full membership in the NASCAR Heat Racing League requires an invitation from the league administrators. After you submit your application, you should then register on the league forum with the same username and email address. After we double check your information, we will approve your account and give you access to the Server Information area of the forum. At this point, you will be a provisional league member and may enter our server during official league events.
During your time as a provisional league member, the league administrators will approve you to compete in events on a race-by-race basis. As a new driver, you should come to the server at least an hour before the starting time of each race. The administrators will evaluate your driving abilities during warmups and determine whether you are prepared to compete in the event.
If you would like to be approved for each race, you should be prepared to demonstrate your understanding of the rules or be ready to ask questions about them. If you remain patient, practice hard, and try to make each race, then you will have a good chance to earn full approval from the league administrators. After you receive full approval, then you will be a full-time league member!
