Rules

Rules: 
We run AMA amateur MX class rules with any questions or protests to reference to!
• Protest for scoring, bike and class rules must be addressed within 30 minutes for the Moto post time.

Age Eligibility 

A rider’s age on Jan. 1 will determine their age for remainder of the year. A rider may move to the next higher age class in the Youth Division only if they will be
eligible to do so at any time during the year.

Once a rider moves to the next higher age class in AMA or non-AMA competition, they may not move back to the lower age class. Riders are encouraged to determine at the beginning of the points season/year the age class they will participate in for the points season/year.

Points earned in a lower age class won't transfer to the higher age class. The AMA at its sole discretion, under special circumstances, may determine that non-AMA sanctioned events may be exempt from this rule

*******SAFETY FIRST*******
  The Flags and Flagmen are for rider SAFETY. PAY ATTENTION

  •  Green Flag - Start of a race. It will be waived with the gate drop to let you know that the race had a successful start.
  • White Flag - One lap to go until finish. (courtesy flag)
  • Yellow Flag - Caution. When a yellow flag is displayed, competitors must ride cautiously until they have passed the incident that caused the flag. When displayed there is no passing or gaining an advantage and jumps must be rolled between the flag and the incident that caused the yellow flag. Failure to do so may result in loss of positions or disqualification, subject to the referee’s discretion.
  • Black Flag with 1 inch white border - Disqualification of a rider. That rider must report to the referee at once.
  • Blue Flag - Indicates you are about to be overtaken by faster riders. Hold your line and don't impede their progress.
  • White Flag with red cross - Indicates that ambulances, safety vehicles or emergency personnel may be on the course. Competitors must show extreme caution, slow down, maintain position, not gain an advantage and wheels of the motorcycle must not leave the ground between the flag and the incident. Failure to do so may result in loss of position or a disqualification, subject to the referee's discretion.
  • Black and White Checkered Flag - End of race
  • Red Flag - Stopping of a race for any emergency situation.
    Return cautiously to the starting line and wait for
    instructions.

 - Must sign up for class/classes that coincide with your age as of January 1, 2023 - Minor Release forms must be signed by Parent for all riders under the age of 19 Riders 18 must also sign release!

 - Racers must have Legible Different color back ground ,from numbers color (4” height minimum) bigger is better, on front and both side number plates to participate in race

 Let’s be fair:
If a racer rides another bike in the 2nd Moto he or she would have to be protested by a racer in that same Moto for action of a DQ to take place.
It is the track owners discretion to allow the racer to compete if not Protested.

But you the rider must let the head scoring clerk at that track scoring crew know upfront of any changes before you go to staging!
