the competence of fellow competitors, should not participate and should request the return of
their entry fee before any competitive activity begins including practice.

riding, or allowing their motorcycles to be ridden, outside these boundaries will be disqualified
from the event.
4. A rider must be ready when called to the starting area. Two minutes are allowed after the
starters call to make minor repairs for mechanical issues.
5.. Race Program
If there are more riders in a class than can be accommodated on the course, the following
format is recommended:
a. Riders are divided into two or more groups, using each group as a first qualifier that
qualifies them to the heats or main event.
b. If two groups are used, the top 6 riders from each group will advance directly to the
heat or main event. (Pro class only) Any riders not placing in the top 6 will race a last-
chance qualifier where the top 2 finishers transfer to the main event.
c. If three or more qualifying groups are required, it is the refereeā€™s discretion to structure
the qualifying groups and number of transfer positions for each group.
d. The winner of the first group will receive the first gate choice, followed by the winner of
the second group then second from the first group and so on until all qualified riders
have received a starting position.
e. The format can be adjusted to meet track needs.
6. Except in a designated mechanic's area, no adjustments, repairs or refueling may be done
during a race. A rider, however, may do such work anywhere on the course without assistance.
7. Once an event has started, any change of motorcycle is forbidden. A rider will be disqualified
from the event for disregarding this rule.
8. Starts
a. A rider must start in the middle of the starting gate.
b. No tools may be used to groom a rider's starting area, only hands and feet may be
used. Only dirt from within the starting area may be used, no liquid may be added to the
rider's starting
area. Grooming in front of the gate is prohibited except when cement extends beyond
the front of the gate, in which case, a broom may be used on the cement portion in front
of the gate.
9. If a rider stops for any reason during an event, he/she must restart without any outside
assistance. However, if a rider falls, blocking the course and endangering other riders, he/she
may receive help or have his/her machine pushed off the course. Outside assistance may be
used by track staff only for youth class riders. An attempt to help under any other situation will
result in the riderā€™s disqualification.
10. Course Cutting
a. A rider must make every effort to stay on course at all times. The penalty for course
cutting to gain an advantage will be the loss of finishing positions or a disqualification. An
addition of 15 seconds to overall time. Per infraction or a disqualification.
b. A rider forced off the course may continue the race by properly re-entering the track at
the closest safe point. While off the course the rider may not accelerate in an unsafe
manner or attempt to gain an advantage. If a rider accelerates while off the course or
cuts large amounts of the race course, the rider may be determined to have gained an
advantage without gaining a position.
c. An advantage is not defined by the race position. A rider leaving the course must re-
enter at the same point or at the first point where he/she can safely, without interfering
with other riders and without gaining an advantage. A rider who fails to do so may be

Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

will be those who qualify as a result of time trials or qualifying heats. If heat races are used, a
rider must start a heat to qualify for the final event.
14. An event stopped by the referee before 60% of the race is completed by the race leader
(rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps) the race will be restarted from the
beginning. Riders may make minor repairs and adjustments at the starting area only. Any race
start or restart will be considered an official part of the event. Therefore, any infraction will be
deemed valid and ruled upon accordingly.
15. Protest. A signed protest must be submitted within 30 min after class race is completed.
Flags
Flags have the following meanings:
1. GREEN: Start of race.
2. WHITE: One lap to go until finish.
3. YELLOW: Caution. When a yellow flag is displayed, competitors must ride cautiously until
they have passed the incident that caused the flag. When a yellow flag is displayed there is no
passing or jumping between the flag and the incident that caused the yellow flag. Failure to do
so may result in the rider being docked from one finishing position all the way to disqualification
from the event, subject to the refereeā€™s discretion.
4. BLACK WITH 1-INCH WHITE BORDER: Disqualification of a rider. That rider must report to
the referee at once.
5. BLUE: Indicates you are about to be overtaken by faster riders. Hold your line and don't
impede their progress.
6. WHITE WITH RED CROSS: Indicates that ambulances, safety vehicles or emergency
personnel are on the course. EXERCISE caution. Should this flag (Red Cross) be displayed,
riders will slow down and maintain position with no passing or jumping until past the incident.
Failure to do so may result in the rider being docked by one finishing position up to
disqualification from the event, subject to the referee's discretion.
7. BLACK AND WHITE CHECKERED: End of race.
8. RED: Stopping of the race for any emergency situation. Return cautiously to the starting line
and wait for instructions.
A rider is considered to have finished a race provided the rider crosses the finish line after the
leader receives a checkered flag. The referee or official can exclude immediately any rider who,
in his opinion, is guilty of any foul, unfair, or dangerous riding.
13. Protest must be writing. Fee must be paid of $100.00 (non-refundable), within 30 minutes
prior to unofficial results.
