Superclass / Masterclass / Age/Cruiser: 3 motos/final. Sprockets: 4 motos. There is no gender division in Sprockets classes Racing conducted under ARB 013-1(a), 013-2(b) - See the Australian Rulebook. Pro-sections: Riders wishing to use the alternate sections (Pro Straights) in all sanctioned events must be Year of Birth 14 years+ and to be traversed only by Superclass/A/AA and Championship categories. The Pro straights are mandatory for Superclass male riders and optional for Superclass female riders unless otherwise directed by the Chief Commissaire. Undersubscribed classes will be combined with an older category; however, classes with a maximum age of more than 24 shall be combined with the next younger category. Starting Blocks: Participation class riders may be assisted at the start. The parent/guardian of a rider who elects to use an interlocking pedal cleat system will not be allowed into staging or on the start hill – that rider can receive no assistance. All riders are responsible to use equipment / clothing that complies with the Australian Rulebook regulations. The fact that any noncompliance was not noticed earlier in an event shall not constitute a defence in case it is noticed later in the same event, or at a future event. Appropriate clothing policy must be adhered to for practice as well as race sessions. Number plates must also be used during practice. A protest may be filed by a rider through the Team Manager with the Chief Commissaire for the scoring of a rider. Protests can only be made on the results from the scoring medium showing the order in which the riders crossed the finish line, not the decisions of the commissaires panel that are noted in the results such as DNS (Did Not Start), DNF (Did Not Finish), REL (Relegated). Transponders will be used at this event, all riders (except Sprockets) must have a transponder. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure that transponder is working and is correctly fitted in line with fork leg of bike. In the event of a malfunction or loss of transponder, for any reason, the rider’s finishing position will be determined by the officials. Any rider coming off the gate without a transponder or with a non-working transponder will be scored as DNS. If a rider gets a start signal but not a finish signal the commissaires will use best endeavours to find the placing for that rider. If this is not possible the rider will be scored last. In all cases the decisions made by the Chief Commissaire are final |
