The FMF Xtreme section is optional for all classes

The easy way around the extreme section will strategically be a couple seconds slower.

Duration

All classes will have two 30-minute moto’s.
The race will end when the leader of the heat is scored no sooner than 27 minutes into the moto. The end of the race is signified by the checkered flag.

Weather

J Day Off Road reserves the right to conduct races regardless of the weather conditions. Appropriate schedule changes can be made by J Day Off Road to accommodate the track and quality of the event.

*Waves are separated by 1 minute intervals and can be delayed due to crashes or significant incidents

All start times are tentative and can be changed at the discretion of J Day Off Road

Participants will line up on their assigned starting row in accordance with our official staging procedure.  40 minutes prior to each race, we will call up riders individually to pick/reserve starting positions.

NO RACER OR RACER PARENT should walk up to the line to reserve a spot until their name is called. 

First moto’s will be announced according to point standings and second moto’s will be announced according to first moto results. 

Both staging announcements will go back 5 places and after the TOP 5, it will be first come first serve to all remaining riders in class. 

TOP 10 are ONLY called for Pro Class both moto’s.

Classes that share one row will be called in alternating order.

Bikes are not permitted on the starting line during the staging procedure.  

The rows will always have signage so that each participant can easily find which row they start on. No bike is permitted on the starting line until they have gone through Tech Inspection and are authorized.

The rider’s meeting will be on the starting line before the start of each race. All-important track updates will be announced at the riders meeting. All participants are responsible for attending.

The Race Commander will lift the green flag (7-10) seconds before the start of each race. When the green flag is dropped only the front wave (row) of riders will start their bikes and begin the race. This process will continue every minute until all the remaining waves are gone.

*** Racers with (ALL ELECTRIC) i.e (Stark, Alta) bikes on the starting line will have to have the THROTTLE HAND on top of their helmet during the (7-10) second lift of the green flag. Once the green flag is waved for the start of the race then the racer can reach for the throttle and go ***

Riders who accidentally or intentionally leave on a starting row ahead of their correct starting row will be penalized.

Riders who accidentally leave on a starting row behind their correct starting row will not be disqualified but their results will not be adjusted for their time lost.

** Pee Wee Starting Procedure- Pee Wee Sr will have a standard dead engine start.  All other Pee Wee classes will be engine running **

** The A250/AVet class line will be row number 2 on all odd number rounds, followed by the A200/A Open class line on row 3. Even number rounds will switch with the A200/A Open class being row number 2, followed by A250/AVet on row 3. This is the only rotating class starting order **

Scoring will be done with the transponder method. Each rider will have a transponder under the visor of his or her helmet and a class specific sticker on the back of the helmet.

Riders are required to slow down while going through the scoring lanes. It is the rider’s responsibility to know his or her number at all times. It is the racers responsibility to place their racing number clearly on the bikes number panels, left chin and back of helmet (unobstructed by goggle straps).

It is highly recommended to have the correct number on your bike, and to cover any unused numbers.

Scoring checkpoints are “no passing zones”.  Riders may pass if a rider crashes in front of them or if a lapped rider gives the lead rider space to do so.

The scoring area entrance will be marked with two orange cones to indicate the NO PASSING ZONE!

Riders will be penalized one position if they make a pass in the scoring lane.

Results are determined from the participants combined score of both moto results. They are then added together and the rider with the lower total wins. For example, a rider who wins both moto’s 1 + 1 = has a total of 2.  

If (2) riders have a total score that ties.  The rider who places lower in the second moto will win the tiebreaker and receive the lower overall position.

Individual class results will be posted on paper in the general vicinity of the registration area. Riders have (30 minutes) to file a protest to the Registration Trailer after the results have been posted.

In the result of a tie in championship points, the rider with more overall wins from the championship season will take the win.  If the riders also tie in the number of wins, the rider with more second place finishes will win the tiebreaker. This pattern will continue until the tie is broken. If the riders also tie in overall wins and race finishes, he or she that scores more points in the final round will win the tiebreaker.

If a participant chooses to wait until the regular season for a permanent number, he or she may be given a number at random

After January 14th all numbers that have not been renewed are open to the public.  Riders may still purchase a membership/yearly number at any point during the season but risk losing their number.

If a class is full (60 riders depending on location of GP) and a rider who did NOT sign up in time & wishes to potentially race that class, he/she may show up to the registration trailer 10 minutes before the set moto start time.

If there are any riders that pre-registered and have not checked in at the registration trailer by this time, riders who are geared up and ready to go may take their spots.

Riders will still be required to fill out appropriate sign-up paperwork and pay the class race fee of $55.00 at that time.

It is first come first serve. Parents and other riders are not allowed to save spots. The riders who pre-registered and did not check in with sign up and lost their spots will not be given a refund.
