A mistake was made on the original post of this thread.
The $25.00 NBRA fee to honor AOF/APBA membership cards is not for the Nationals. This fee is only charged at regular race events and covers the whole weekend of racing.

THE NBRA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RACES ARE OPEN TO MEMBERS OF NBRA/AOF/APBA with no additional charges.

Dang hackers!

Hi Ron,
I have made a complete copy of the 2010 NBRA rule book. Let me know what address you would like it sent to. We have found the NBRA folks to be a great group to race with. This year we will most likely run four hydro clases.
