Info for Riders

 

All riders please note that a Full face helmet is preferable but a recognised helmet will suffice, the chin strap must be tight so that only 2 fingers may be inserted between the start and the chin and bar plugs are mandatory and will be checked prior to you being allowed on track. We highly recommend that Knee/elbowpads/gloves  along with suitable clothing are worn. T shirts as a minimum, no singlets. 

We strongly recommend that Juvenile and Junior riders wear a full back/spine protector. A Neck brace may also be advisable .

Concussion/Head Trauma

We are now implementing that anyrider that has had a head concussion report to the medic immediately and if any rider is seen by a Marshall or a fellow rider , that rider’s number is made aware to the Chief Marshall/Comms  so that he may be directed to the medic. Only once the Medic has deemed you fit to ride will you be allowed back on track.

Bikes, 

they can be of any brand or type but must have a working brake , bar end plugs and no stunt pegs . They should be in good order and fit to ride. Any bike deemed unsafe will not be able to take part. 

race format . 
2 heats of 3 runs , best 2 runs combined make your fastest time.  We use Tag Heur timing equipment that is accurate to 1/1000 of a second to give the ultimate in accurate timing. 

We aim to have a Race mechanic with us again for the whole weekend, his labour service will be free of charge with any spare parts chargeable, this is available whilst the Event is live. If any repairs are taken in overnight hen he may also charge you for his services.
