Generators
We would like to politely remind everyone camping overnight at our events that all generators must be turned off by 10.30pm. Anyone ignoring this rule will be told to leave the meeting. Please remember we are primarily a schoolboy motocross club and young riders do need their sleep and the noise off the generators carried to outlying properties surrounding our events. Tracks are hard enough to get without losing them to un-necessary noise.
Yellow Flags
We recently have had riders ignoring yellow flags. When riding within a yellow flag section you must ride with caution and never overtake to gain a race position.
Cutting the Track
When racing, if you have to leave the track through the safety tape you must re-enter at the next available safe place – do not cut corners or sections as this is deemed as cheating. Marshals are obliged to report any instances they see to the Clerk of the Course and the rider will be subjected to losing their race points.
Riding Within the Pits
You must not ride your bike in the pits or parking area’s. Anyone breaking this rule will immediately have 10 points taken off their results. Caught again and you will be sent home.
Marshalling
It would be much appreciated if riders could help with the setting up and removal of the track following the meeting to enable us all to leave the meeting at a reasonable time. Marshals are always welcome to volunteer as are Lap scorers.
Race Order
The race order is always available on the Notice Board by the Signing On Van prior to the meeting starting. It is up to all riders to watch for their group going to the Start Line and not up to the Club to keep calling them on the tanoy system. If you miss your race, do not moan at the club. Any changes to the racing order will be announced.
Children
All children are the responsibility of their parents or guardians and not the responsibility of the club. Please keep all children in the paddock area at all times.
Any children or adults caught in any farm building or on any property other than in the paddock will be told to leave the venue.
The track should be walked by all riders prior to practice.
Push Bikes
Push Bikes are not permitted on to the Race Track at any time as we find they are destroying the track before the racing.
Litter
All litter MUST be collected and disposed of in the proper manner by the rider and his guests. This is your responsibility NOT the clubs. Please remember, the majority of the tracks are on grazing land and animals do not want to eat tear-offs/plastic bottles and cups with their meal of grass !
Protests
Are to be made to the Clerk of The Course within 30 minutes of the end of the race or from the time the results are posted if the protest concerns the results. If you are unhappy with his decision an application in writing can be made to the Stewards of the meeting which MUST be accompanied by the fee of £25.00 and lodged with the Secretary of the meeting. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will a protest be considered outside the 30 minute time limit.
Trophies
Thank you to any riders that do not collect your trophy at the end of the meeting – these will be recycled by the club and not offered to you at the next meeting.
Backgrounds
Please adhere to this ruling as it may affect your points !
Reminder
Now the wet weather is here, would all riders please wear numbered race shirts and or race bibs to make the lapscoring job slightly easier.
Safety Equipment
Kidney Belts are compulsory to be worn, spot checks will be carried out on the start line during the year.
Any one not adhering to these Rules will be told to leave the meeting.
