If a different quad is ridden in the main event than was ridden in the heat, the rider must start from penalty line as designated by the race official. It is the riders responsibility to inform an MWEDT official if the rider is switching bikes, failure to due so can be subjected to DQ.

 

All events will run qualifying heats and a main event. The number of riders in heats will be determined by track width, with a minimum of 60” per machine. All riders in heats will get a front-row start. (maximum 10 riders)  If there are more riders in a class than can be accommodated on the starting line, multiple heats will be run. If there are 21 or more riders, one or more LCQ’s will be ran.   

 

Heats are timed. The winner of the fastest heat will get first pick in the main, and the winner of the next fastest heat will get second pick in the main, and so on. Equal number of riders from each heat race will transfer to the main, leaving a fewer number to transfer from the LCQ’s. No more than 20 will participate in the main.

 

***(If a push start is required, permission must be obtained from the referee or staging official to cross line prior to start of the race) ***

At the end of line up, if the racer or his/her representative hasn’t showed up the race, the race will start without them. If the racer shows up after line up is complete, racer will start at rear of line up. 

 

A rider must cross the start line to be scored for race-heat and main. If the rider misses the heat, as long as he’s signed up and quad was inspected, he/she may race main from penalty 

row.  The rider will have a last place starting position and receive no heat points. Nobody is allowed to sign the rider up but himself if he/she is of age.

will be judged on a case by case basis.  If a race must be stopped because of a rider/riders obstructing the progress and safety of a race, that rider or riders will restart on penalty row or last place slots in single file start.

 

Single file start will take place after completion of one complete lap. Single file starts will be determined off the last completed lap.   If a race has to be stopped, single file restarts, the 

flagger will point at the 1st place leader, when the leader takes off, the race starts.  No passing until you pass the flagger.
