2019 RROL NOMAD season

The 2019 RROL NOMAD season is the first season of the RROL’s North-Atlantic Open-Wheel Modified Asphalt Division.

Faber Fabrication will exclusively supply the series chassis for the 2019 season - in the form of their Acromion model.

Format
A typical race week consists of a 30-minute practice session, a single-car two-lap qualifying session, and the concluding event of each race week is the approximately 100-mile race.

The fourth round at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway will differ from the typical format in that the 100-mile race has been split into two 50-mile races as a "double-header".

There is a maximum of 40 entries per race.

Point System
Bonus: +1 for leading (being scored in the lead for at least one lap)

Knockout Heat 2 8 drivers, rounds 10 and 11. Active knockout competitors that win advance to the final round. 4 drivers advance, 4 are eliminated.
