ADDITIONAL INFO YOU SHOULD KNOW

Please pick up your trophy 20 minutes after the completion of your main race. You can pick up your trophy at the registration office at most venues.

PRIZES, AWARDS, AND TROPHIES ARE PAID OUT EACH NIGHT AFTER THE MAIN EVENT; AWARDS WILL NOT BE MAILED OUT. EACH DAY IS SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT EVENT, WITH SEPARATE PRACTICE, RACES, AWARDS AND PAYOUTS.

We run a tight schedule, and your racer must stay informed of the schedule as the day progresses. We may alter the Main race order schedule slightly. You must check with the registration office for the schedule changes. They will be posted on the wall just outside the office.
All classes need to be staged 3 races in advance. If all racers follow the rules, no one will miss their race. Even if we adjust the main order slightly (for example to combine small classes) if you are staged like you are supposed to be, there won’t be any issues. We will not refund money for any racer missing their heat or main.

If you need to change your number, report the change to the registration office immediately!

One thing is very important to check, is the heat racer order. It is posted at the registration office and it list’s all the racers in their appropriate class(es). Obviously, mistakes can be made, and it is imperative that you check this order to make sure you are listed in the correct class with the correct bike #. Errors need to be reported to the office immediately. If you don’t follow this procedure and you show up at the gate for heats and you aren’t listed in your class, it will cause delays for everyone. this is important to do again after you complete your heat race. Go back to the registration office and check the results. You may think you got 3rd, but we may have you listed as last place. If errors aren’t reported in a timely manner (immediately after your heat) then you may show up at your main and not allowed to compete. It is difficult to research and correct a problem once the mains have begun. Please follow this simple procedure and the day will run smoothly.

Please sign in with the same name and number for each race. For example: Do not sign in as Andrew one race and Andy the next. The computer will recognize two different racers. Once you race the first time with a chosen number, that is your number for the series.
