Ok so I have noticed it is a bit difficult to find Backyard/Amateur/Unsanctioned events. I figure it would be a good idea to list them here. I will post the ones I find in a list with dates and where they are along with any web site links or contact info for the events if no web site is available. If you know of any please post them in the same format as below.
