GENERAL RACING INFORMATION (Top)
Motorsports are inherently dangerous. DMC Motorsports does not set engineering and design standards or inspect tracks used in events. Participants are solely responsible for their own safety at DMC Motorsports events and should assess their own ability to negotiate each individual track or course. You should take part in this competition based on your own assessment of your abilities. If you have not personally inspected the course, we urge you to do so. You have been provided an opportunity to practice under non-competitive conditions. If you have not practiced, we urge you to contact an official at this time. Participants, who doubt the competence of track officials, have concerns about the safety of the course or their ability to negotiate the course, or doubt the competence of fellow competitors, should not participate.

You are responsible for the quality and condition of your race vehicle and protective apparel.

DMC Motorsports does not provide medical insurance coverage. We urge you not to compete in motorsports without adequate personal medical insurance coverage. If you have any doubts at this time about your personal abilities to participate in this event, if you have not adequately prepared yourself and your equipment, or if you believe your personal insurance coverages are not adequate to compensate you for any loss that might occur, you should not participate.

SPECTATORS witnessing these events thereby assume all risks for any injuries or damages resulting therefrom.

RULES (Top)
Our mission is to provide a safe racing experience, in a family friendly, drug free environment to racers of all ages and riding ability.

Entrants, riders, and participants are required to know and understand the rules and regulations that cover a DMC Motorsports event and are (by reason of their entry) definitely bound by such. In cases where a rule determination is not defined in these rules, the decision of the DMC Motorsports Office or Race Manager will be final.

Each participant has the responsibility to assess the safety aspects of track facilities and conditions and MUST assume the risks associated with competition.

Specific Rules for Competition:
1. HAVE FUN!!!! We are all here to have a good time. Any person not having a good time will sent home. It’s all about fun. This is a family event and we need to conduct ourselves in a reasonable, sportsmanlike manner.

2. If you need to switch machines, for any reason, from the heat to the final: You must also change the numbers. This is “YOUR” responsibility. If you do not change numbers, you will not be allowed to race with different numbers. You must race using the number YOU signed up as. You may want to keep spare numbers on hand.

3. One machine may be entered by two or more riders for other classes with the same machine classification by paying the additional entry fee.

4. All riders competing in DMC Motorsports events must be a member of such. If you do not wish to become a season member you may buy a DAILY MEMBERSHIP at the track for $12 on race day.

5. Ages for all youth classes will be determined on January 1. (Whatever age you are on January 1 is the age group you can compete in through the final race of the season)

6. No persons are allowed on the track unless allowed by the Race Manager.

7. No one except riders officially entered may ride or practice on the race course on race day. All tracks will be closed for anyone wanting to ride for the week preceding the race unless otherwise posted.

8. DMC Motorsports officials are not responsible to locate riders for their events. The rider is responsible to be at the start line for his/her event.

9. If a rider leaves the course during the race, for any reason, and then decides to resume the race, he/she must re-enter at the point of exit before another lap may be counted in his/her favor. IF IT IS UNSAFE OR IMPOSSIBLE to re-enter at his/her point of exit, he/she must re-enter at the safest possible place which is closest to his/her exit as possible without improving his/her position. If mechanical breakdown happens near the finish line, the driver ONLY may push the machine across the finish line.

10. There will be no re-starts UNLESS it is the opinion of the Race Officials or First Aid Attendants that it may endanger the participants involved or if there is a malfunction in the start gate or some interference as determined by the Race Official.

11. If, for any reason, the race must be stopped, it will be considered completed IF over 50% of the race has been run. A complete re-start if less than 50% of the race has been run. Odd number of laps, add 1 and divide by 2. If there are 2 red flags in any given race, the race is over no matter how many laps have been run.

12. Officials reserve the right to prevent anyone from competing in any event if the rider or machine does not comply with the rules. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will a rider be allowed to compete if an Official feels they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

13. The participant must have their armband and/or practice sticker before being allowed to practice and is to stay on course and not retry certain areas of the track and must practice in their correct class. Anyone caught practicing with the WRONG CLASS will start the first moto backwards. NO EXCUSES.

14. THE RIDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF HIS/HER PARENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS, MECHANIC, FRIENDS, OR ANYONE ELSE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM/HER, AND MAY BE PENALIZED OR DISQALIFIED FOR THE ACTIONS OF THOSE PERSONS. Verbal harassment of officials will not be tolerated. Any physical abuse of Officials will be reported to Law Enforcement and will be grounds for permanent expulsion of the rider and allowable for notice by DMC Motorsports to all other race associations of the occurrence.

15. Any unsafe and/or intentional hitting or bumping, taking out, or unsafe riding or course cutting that is deemed dangerous or un-sportsmanlike by the Track Officials, will be grounds for disqualification or penalty as deemed appropriate. Blocking by lapped traffic could lead to disqualification. Un-sportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated.

16. DMC Motorsports Officials will not be responsible for any occurrence that results in “Back to Back” motos for a rider who enters multiple classes. The rider or his/her representative must notify Officials of that occurrence and be available at the start area for consultation.

17. No soliciting or distributing of literature or products will be allowed at DMC Motorsports events without prior approval from DMC Motorsports management.

18. All machines are subject to DMC Motorsports impound evaluations or teardown if decided by the DMC Motorsports race manager that a particular bike/quad of their interest needs further evaluation.

RIDER CLASSIFICATION (Top)

It is the duty of the individual rider to determine the class he/she is legal to ride in. Entry into a class does not necessarily make you legal for that class. Another entrant or his/her representative can protest you. Responsibility of meeting proper rider classification and bike/quad specifications rests with the individual entrants. If you are a Pro/A, B or C rider at some other venue, you are the same class rider with DMC Motorsports.

“C” Class: This class is for riders who are classified as novice or “C” and have not raced or are not classified as intermediate or “B” with any other organization.

“B” Class: This class is for riders who are classified as intermediate or “B” and have not raced or are not classified as Pro, expert, “A”, Pro-Am, etc. with any other organization.

Pro / “A” Class: This class is for riders who are classified as advanced or “A”, Pro, expert, Pro-Am, Money or highest advanced class.

A rider CANNOT change classification from class to class. (Example: If a rider is competing in the 125 class as a “B”, he/she must also compete in the 250 class as a “B”)

A rider is allowed to move up to the next class at any time but must remain at the class level thereafter unless authorized by DMC Motorsports to move back.

Points System (Top)
Points will be earned on a two-moto system. A rider earns points equal to their finish in each moto. The event winner is the rider with the lowest point total. A tie is broken with the second moto finish. A “Did Not Start” (DNS) is scored as 89 points and a “Did Not Finish” (DNF) is scored as 88 points. “Disqualified” (DSQ) is scored as 90 points.

If we need to run heats and a “Last Chance Qualifier” (LCQ) in a particular class, then how you finish in the final is how you finish for the day.

1^st        25 Points
2^nd       22 Points
3^rd        20 Points
4^th        18 Points
5^th        16 Points
6^th        15 Points
7^th        14 Points
8^th        13 Points
9^th        12 Points
10^th     11 Points
