Each class will race two motos – 4 laps each. (Paul Bunyan class will only be a 3 lap, 1 Moto Race.)  Finishes from both races are added together to decide placing.  In case of a tie, the second moto finish is the tie breaker.

Paul Bunyan class is a 30+class but the rider must weigh in at 225 pounds or more in regular street clothing. The rider may ride any size cc bike they choose. There will not be any points given for this race or it will not qualify an individual for Fly dollars. The cost of this race is $10.00.

There will be one trophy given out for every three riders in all trophy classes. All riders on the mini track receive participation trophies. Trophies may be picked up 15 minutes after the final posting. If you have a disagreement, make sure you let the staff know. The final standings will not be changed at a later date!!! Please do not go to the scoring trailer to ask how you did. Wait for the results to be posted. 

We are again having an eight race championship series, all classes, with an awards banquet at the end of the year. In order to be eligible for year-end awards, riders must participate and score points in a minimum of 4 races in a class. Points are given to the top 20 finishers in each class at all races. Year-end awards will be awarded to 33 1/3% of the total number of overall yearly entries in each class up to a maximum of 10 awards per class. Example:  If there were 21 total riders in a class for the entire year, 7 would receive trophies.  Points and standings can be found on our website at www.mpxracing.com

Race Rules

On the big track, when your class is called to line up, stay behind the orange cones located by the starting gate fence.  When your number is randomly called, you may proceed to the starting gates and select your gate.  Race officials are not responsible for locating riders for their motos.

1. If you flip the starting gate, you must be last going into the 1^st corner or you will get last place in the moto.

2. If you have a problem with your machine at the starting gate, ask for a 2-minute delay.  Once the 1-minute sign is up, no delay is permitted.

3. If you miss an obstacle or run off the track, you cannot use this to your advantage and pass another rider.  You must stay in the same order when you get back on the track.

4. When a yellow flag is displayed, competitors must ride cautiously until they have passed the incident that caused the flag. 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 position to disqualification from the event subject to the referee’s discretion.

5. If your machine breaks and you have completed at least 1 full lap you can push your machine across the finish line on the checkered flag lap after all other racers have finished the moto to receive last place points for that moto.

6. If you pull off before the end of the moto, you will receive a DNF (did not finish) for that moto.  A DNF cannot place higher than anyone who completes two motos.  If you received a DNF or DNS in both motos, you do not score series points.

7. If you cannot get your bike or quad running, you can ride another machine as long as it fits the class, you keep your same number and you fill out a machine change form at sign-up before you race your next moto.

8. If a moto must be stopped because one or more riders are obstructing the track, the rider(s) may not be allowed to continue in the re-start of that moto.  This will be at the officials’ discretion.  Race officials will determine restart conditions.  If for any reason the race must be stopped, it will be considered completed if over 50% (2 laps) of the race has been run.

9. Any racing altercations to be ruled on must be seen by an official or flagman.  If you have a complaint, you must fill out an incident report in the trailer.  The referee has the final say in all protests.  His ruling is final!

10. If an MPX staff member witnesses a rider, pit crew or family member using foul language,  making threats or striking a staff member or other rider, that rider is subject to instant disqualification for unsportsmanlike like conduct.

11. Mini track parents and helpers must move back from the starting line when the minute sign goes up.  If you do not comply, you may be escorted from the area. Only (1) parent or helper per mini rider!
