  • Do not litter, if caught littering, automatic DSQ will occur. This includes during the race including such things as energy bar/gel wrappers, banana peels, etc. Please use the garbage bins. Respect the land owners.

  • Once your race is over, you will have one cool down lap, then you must exit through the pit lane, anyone crossing the finish line after the end of their race will be DSQ.

  • If you want to toss a bottle from your bike during your race, there will be a dedicated area for this located just before the Start/Finish area on the infield of the track, near the wheel pit.

  • There will be a “wheel pit area” in case a participant has a technical failure. It will be located next to the Start/Finish area. (You need to put in a wheel if you want to get a spare wheel.) If you get a technical, that has been verified by the race officials, a free lap will be given up to the last 3 laps of the race. If you get a technical, you must get back to the pit area as fast as possible, cutting across the infield is allowed. You can’t go against the direction of the race. Catch on to the pack the next time it comes around.

  • Lapped riders will be pulled from the race. Riders may be pulled just prior to being lapped as determined by the race officials. When being pulled from the course you will exit the course through the pit area.
