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/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.
Any MPX rider with an
outstanding NSF check to MPX Racing will have any and all points and or all
year end awards held until payment is made in full including all fees and
charges.
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 1st 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. To be scored each lap, you must cross the finish line
between the orange cones. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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!
8. 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.
9. 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.
