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 before submitting your application. If you breeze through this page without bothering to read the instructions, then you're probably not a candidate for the league in the first place!
The NASCAR Heat Racing League is an experienced online gaming community. Our goal is to provide fun and fair competition in a respectful environment. If you do not agree with these objectives, then you should not participate in our league. Message board spammers, disrespectful competitors, and intentional idiots do not last for long! Please consider this your first and only forewarning.
The NASCAR Heat Racing League is not modeled around any real-world racing organization or series. The league includes multiple, equally-competitive divisions featuring some of the most popular NASCAR Heat modifications. The NHRL CUP Series races with the NHRLCUP Mod, the NHRL NBS Series races with the NBS Mod, and the NHRL CTS Series races with the CTS Mod.

Joining the NASCAR Heat Racing League requires an invitation from the league administrators. After you submit your application, the administrators will authenticate your information for security purposes. If you clear our security, then we will provide you with the IP address and password to connect to our server. You will also receive provisional approval to compete in league races.
At first, the league administrators will approve you to compete in every event on a race-by-race basis. During this period, you should arrive in the server at least one hour before the official starting time of each race. The administrators will then evaluate your driving abilities during warmups and determine whether you're prepared to compete in the event.
During your provisional approval phase, you should be prepared to demonstrate your understanding of the rules and 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. Once you receive full approval, then you'll be an official league member!
