Rule changes as of August 15th...... *All Kill switches need to be shortened for safety reasons....Youth class needs to be shortened to a maximum of 30" and all adult classes need to be shortened to a maximum of 36" *Starting August 16th race there will be a three person committee instilled to inspect a mower if a person is suspected of cheating. The committee will consist of three people that does not have any ties to the class of the mower in suspicion. If a racer is found guilty of cheating, the racer will be suspended from the next two races and all points will be lost. If the same racer is found cheating for a second time, that racer will be disqualified for the rest of the racing season. *It has come to our attention that racing fuel has been suspected. Please check the rules for what fuel is allowed. If you are found not using the correct type of fuel, the cheating standards in the above explanation will be place upon you. * When racers are leaving the winners circle some are driving their mowers off the track rather than pushing them. This is fine just be sure if you are driving your mower out of the winners circle that you have your safety equipment on. THIS MEANS WEAR YOUR HELMET!! do not try to carry your helmet and a trophy while driving out of the winners circle. * There are many people in the pit area that are not authorized to be there during a race. We ask that there are only drivers and one helper in the pit area during a race. Please inform your family and friends that they are not to be in the pit area during a race. This is not only a safety issue but also an insurance issue. THIS HAS TO HAPPEN! * There are also a lot of vehicles being left in the pit area after dropping of mowers. If you want to drive your vehicle down to the pit area and unload please do so, but when you are done unloading please take your vehicle to the top of the hill. * The rule change for the youth mowers that was made during the July 14th meeting about the tires is now being reversed. The front tires will remain at a maximum of 13"
Rule Changes as of August 1st............. We are making a change to the entry fee..... Starting the August 2nd race and all races there after... If racing in more than one class, all classes will be charged an entry fee including youth classes of $5.00 for each class raced in. ($10.00 for non club members)
Rule changes as of July 14th...... Approved eye protection must be worn! No safety glasses allowed! Youth front tires from a maximum of 13" now can be a maximum of 16".(reversed on August 15, 2008)
EVERYONE NEEDS TO TURN IN THERE ARMA MONEY IN ORDER TO RACE....($25.00..to cover your insurance all season)
Please register numbers and membership information as you build. We are having problems once racers get to the track with multiple numbers! This cannot happen!!!! We do not want you to build a full mower and the number to already be registered to another racer...This is so we do not have duplicates
