One clarification on pre-registering for the State Championship.
You definitely need to pre-register for the State Championship if you are racing for the trophy to guarantee receiving your trophy at the September 16th race. The number of trophies that will be ordered will be based off of the pre-registration number. If you do not pre-register, then there is the possibility that you will not receive your trophy in Jamestown, but instead wait til a later date!
