Chapter 2: General Information

1. The primary and official mode of communication between the Cub Mountain Racing Series and participants will be the Cub Mountain Racing Series Facebook Page. All official announcements and updates will be disseminated via this platform. It is the responsibility of each rider to access this information source, which may include notices regarding cancellations, changes in event locations, rule modifications, and more.

2. Each rider is accountable for the actions of their family members, guests, and pit crew. Any disruptive behavior caused by these individuals may subject the rider to penalties, including disqualification.

3. All riders and race personnel are required to evaluate the course, facilities, existing conditions, and other safety-related matters independently. Participants must rely on their own judgment and accept all associated risks of competition.

4. The Cub Mountain Racing Series does not provide medical insurance. Event promoters affiliated with the Cub Mountain Racing Series will not furnish medical insurance unless explicitly stated or advertised. Riders are strongly encouraged to secure their own insurance coverage.

5. The amounts for entry fees will be published on the official Cub Mountain Racing Series website. Transponders from the “E550000xxxxx” Event Scoring System are mandatory.

6. The gate fee will be as advertised on the website, with children aged six years and younger exempt from this fee. The promoter may waive the gate fee for others at their discretion.

7. A rider is permitted to operate only one machine during any event. Any rider who changes machines during a race will be disqualified.

8. An adult rider may participate in only one event and one class (Motorcycle or ATV) per day. Riders who compete in two events or classes may face disqualification from both. However, an adult rider may race both ATV and Motorcycle within the same weekend.

9. Individuals identified as promoters, or those who have pre-ridden the marked course, are prohibited from competing in that event.

10. No rider may pre-ride the marked course on any motorized vehicle. Participants are allowed to walk or ride a bicycle on the course for inspection purposes. The promoter may impose restrictions on the areas available for viewing.

11. Spectators are prohibited from entering the race course, which extends 25 feet on either side of the marked path.

12. Only riders officially entered in the ongoing event may ride on any part of the course (or practice area, if provided). For example, ATV riders are not allowed on the course during a Motorcycle event. Riders present on the course who are not participating in the event may be subject to penalties, disqualification, and/or removal from the event property.

13. NO PIT RIDING IS PERMITTED AT ANY CUB MOUNTAIN RACING SERIES EVENT. Pit riding is defined as operating a motorcycle or ATV intended for racing to "warm it up" or "practice." No individual may operate a motorized vehicle without a valid driver’s license, except for youth riders during youth competitions. Youth riders may ride their machines to the start and return to their transport vehicle only after finishing. Due to safety concerns and limited facilities, any rider caught pit riding may face disqualification at the promoter’s discretion, potentially resulting in the loss of all series points. Dangerous behavior will not be tolerated at any event. A helmet and all required protective gear must be worn at all times while riding. Any spectator or participant using a machine for transportation on event property must operate it in first gear at a maximum speed of 5 MPH. Riders may only operate their vehicles for necessary transportation to/from the start, finish, signup, etc., in first gear at idle speeds while wearing a helmet. Failure to comply may result in penalties.

14. Race personnel, identifiable by their designated clothing, may ride cautiously on the facility while preparing for or managing events. All race personnel should be easily recognizable through consistent markings (e.g., orange vests).

15. Events organized by the Cub Mountain Racing Series are cross-country in nature. The course may traverse trails, fire roads, fields, and any terrain accessible by an off-road motorcycle or ATV.

16. Course Lengths:
   - XC: Course lengths will be designed to ensure that the fastest motorcycle rider achieves lap times of no less than 15 minutes and no more than 40 minutes. Generally, this will result in course lengths between 6 to 10 miles, contingent on terrain and weather conditions.
   - GP: Course lengths will be structured to allow the fastest motorcycle rider to achieve lap times of no less than 10 minutes and no more than 15 minutes. Typically, this will result in course lengths ranging from 3 to 5 miles, depending on terrain and weather conditions.

17. Race Lengths:
   - XC: Adult motorcycles will race for a duration of 2 hours (with a minimum of 1 hour and 55 minutes) based on the projected overall leader's time. ATVs will race for 1.5 hours (with a minimum of 1 hour and 25 minutes) based on the projected overall leader's time. In the event that a race must be halted prematurely, riders will be scored based on their finish order at the time of the stoppage. If an event is stopped with less than 1 hour remaining (40 minutes for ATVs), the promoter may opt to restart the event. A race must be conducted for at least 1 hour (40 minutes for ATVs) to be eligible for overall series points. Classes may be concluded early at the discretion of the promoter or scorer due to time constraints, weather conditions, or other factors.

Chapter 2: General Information

1. In the GP format, AM/PM Motorcycles and ATVs will compete in a two-race structure, with each race lasting 45 minutes (with a minimum duration of 35 minutes), based on the projected overall leader’s time. Should an event need to be halted prematurely, riders will be scored based on their finishing order at the time of the stoppage. If an event is stopped within 35 minutes of its commencement, the promoter may choose to restart the event. A race must run for a minimum of 25 minutes to be eligible for overall series points. Classes may conclude early at the discretion of the promoter or scorer due to time constraints, weather conditions, or other factors.

2. The race course will be clearly marked using high-contrast paper arrows to indicate the proper direction of travel.

3. Whenever "double arrows" are posted on both sides of the trail, these markings signify the limits of the course. Riders are required to stay between the double arrows at all times.

4. All riders must remain on the marked course at all times. The “Course” is defined as the immediate trail marked by arrows, extending a maximum of 25 feet to the left or right of these markers.

5. Riders found to be off the defined course may face penalties that could include disqualification.

6. If a rider departs from the marked course for any reason, they must re-enter at the exact location where they exited or at a point farther from the finish line than where they left the course. If this is impractical, the rider must forfeit scoring for the lap in which they were off course. After completing the race, it is the rider's responsibility to promptly dismount and return to the scoring tent to confirm they were not scored for that lap. Failure to notify the scorer of a “short lap” will result in disqualification. However, at the scorer's or promoter’s discretion, such disqualification penalties may be reduced to a loss of lap.

7. Ribbon, banners, stakes, and other markers always represent the boundaries of the course. A rider who crosses any of these markings may incur penalties, including disqualification. Tampering with course markings can create significant issues for the event and lead to other riders missing the course. Riders must exercise proper speed and control at all times to avoid damaging any such markers, stakes, or barriers. Damage to or passing through course markings may result in penalties. Intentionally tearing down or riding through a marked area to re-enter the course is a violation of the rules and carries penalties up to disqualification, with a general minimum penalty of one lap.

8. In the event of severe bottlenecks or traffic jams at a particular obstacle, a rider may leave the course only as far as necessary to clear the obstruction. The rider must return to the course using the shortest route immediately after clearing the bottleneck, rather than the shortest route to the finish. On subsequent laps, the original course must be followed.

9. Slower riders are required to yield to faster riders. The slower rider should move to the right when possible to allow passing on the left and must take the first opportunity to let the faster rider pass.

10. Blocking, ramming, or any intentional contact between riders is strictly prohibited and may result in penalties. This applies on the course, at checkpoints, and especially within the scoring tent.

11. Team tactics are not permitted. Riders found collaborating to block or impede other competitors may face disqualification from the current event and, at the discretion of Cub Mountain Racing Series officials, from the next event as well.

12. Unsportsmanlike conduct by riders, their guests, pit crew, or others may result in immediate disqualification of the involved riders. The determination of unsportsmanlike conduct rests solely with the promoter, officials, or Cub Mountain Racing Series personnel. Such decisions are final and non-negotiable. Rules regarding unsportsmanlike conduct apply to riders on the course, before the race, and after the race. Inappropriate actions directed towards any race personnel are considered unsportsmanlike conduct.

13. Engaging in fighting, making threats, exhibiting violence, or similar conduct towards race personnel may result in complete disqualification from the remainder of the series and the retroactive loss of all accumulated points.

14. All race personnel, riders, officials, mechanics, and anyone associated with the riders must not be under the influence of intoxicants or drugs that could impair their normal mental or physical abilities.

Chapter 3: Riders, Eligibility, and Classifications

Minors, Age Minimums, and Guardian Requirements:

1. No rider under the age of 18 may compete without the written consent (signature on liability releases and entry forms) of their parents or legal guardians present at the event. An authorized adult acting on behalf of the parents or legal guardians must provide a notarized statement indicating their authority to assume responsibility for the minor during the event. The parents, legal guardians, or authorized adult must remain present while the rider they are responsible for is at the event.

2. For minor releases, proper identification of both the legal guardian and the minor is required. Acceptable identification includes a copy of the birth certificate or driver's license. Non-parental legal guardians must present proper legal documentation confirming their guardianship.

3. The minimum age to participate in an amateur adult ATV event is 14 years. Ages are determined as of the date of the event.

4. The minimum age to participate in an amateur motorcycle event is 12 years. The minimum age for participation in an amateur motorcycle event with a displacement of 250cc or greater is 14 years. Ages are determined as of the date of the event.

5. Youth events have specific age requirements for each class; refer to the Youth Chapter for detailed requirements.

Class Types:

6. Classes Available/Offered: The specific class structure and the classes offered for the season will be published on the series website.

7. Youth Classes: Detailed information regarding Youth Classes is provided in the Youth Chapter.

8. Age Classifications:
   - For the Cub Mountain Racing Series, ages are determined as of the date of Round 1 or the first race a rider competes in during that year.
   - For the Cub Mountain Racing Series GP Series, ages are determined as of January 1 of that year.

Within the Cub Mountain Racing Series, the following age classifications are available:

Vet (30 years or older)

Senior & ATV 40+ (40 years or older)

Super Senior (45 years or older)

ATV 50+ (50 years or older)

Masters (50 years or older)

Silver Masters (55 years or older)

Golden Masters (60 years or older)

ATV classes with specified age requirements (e.g., ATV 14-20 is for riders aged 14 to 20)

All age divisions may not be available in every skill division. Riders competing in age-based classes must meet the qualifying age at their first event of the series. A rider may remain in their qualifying class for the remainder of the series even if their birth date causes them to exceed the age limit. Any skill level (i.e., A, B, C) may compete in an age classification that is not explicitly skill-level identified (e.g., Golden Masters, ATV 50+). All age-based classes can compete on machines with minimum engine displacements of 124cc 2-stroke and 149cc 4-stroke, with a minimum wheelbase of 50 inches. Refer to the Youth Chapter for variations in youth age rules.

9. Displacement Classifications: Within the Cub Mountain Racing Series, the following classes may be offered based on the machine's actual engine displacement as indicated on the factory cylinder markings or calculated from bore and stroke measurements. A machine may qualify for a class only if its displacement falls within the specified range.

“Light” (e.g., Light A, Light B, Light C): 80-200cc 2-stroke, 149-250cc 4-stroke

“Heavy” (e.g., Heavy A, Heavy B, Heavy C): 201cc and above 2-stroke, 251cc and above 4-stroke.

Note: 4-stroke specific classes may be divided further. 4-stroke classes not specifically divided will allow any 4-stroke engine size.

10. Skill Classification: The Cub Mountain Racing Series defines five separate skill divisions for riders. The intent of these classifications is to promote fair competition among riders of similar skill levels. Riders should select the skill classification that best reflects their abilities, as failure to do so may result in forced advancement (see Promotion below). The skill classification descriptions are relative and do not imply that the Cub Mountain Racing Series or promoters have assessed the riders' abilities:

10a. Expert: “AA/Pro” – The highest skill level. Riders who must compete in the Cub Mountain Racing Series expert classes include current GNCC Pro riders and any other riders whose past performance or organizational rankings qualify them at this level. Any rider competing in an Expert/Pro class in any other similar competition during our series must also ride as an Expert in our series for that season. A rider who meets the specific criteria established by the Cub Mountain Racing Series is not compelled to compete at the Expert level.

10b. Advanced: “A” – High skill level. Any rider competing in an “A” class in any other similar competition or any rider formally advanced to the "A" class by the Cub Mountain Racing Series must compete in an Advanced Class.

10c. Intermediate: “B” – Medium skill level. Riders in this category are generally faster than Novice competitors but not as fast as Advanced riders. Any rider competing in a “B” class in any other similar competition or formally advanced to the "B" class by the Cub Mountain Racing Series must compete in an Intermediate Class.

10d. Novice: “C” – Relatively slower riders compared to the Intermediate class. These classes are intended for riders who possess enough experience to not be considered beginners but are not yet competitive at the Intermediate level.

10e. Beginner – Riders in this class are relatively inexperienced or new to racing. Participants must not have ever placed in the top three in any cross-country event or non-Youth Motocross event, except for the current year.

10f. Youth Classification – Refer to the Youth Chapter for descriptions, requirements, and details of Youth Classes.

11. XC - Motorcycle Buddy Class: Entries must consist of 2-man teams of any skill level. The minimum age is 12, with a minimum engine displacement of 80cc 2-stroke and 149cc 4-stroke. Riders may operate either two bikes or one bike. Substitutions of riders or bikes are not permitted once the race begins. Buddy teams consisting of Cub Mountain Racing Series members will not receive points if they substitute riders during any event. The same two riders must compete in each race to earn points. Riders must alternate laps and may only swap in the designated buddy box located after the scoring tent. Only buddy class riders and race officials are permitted in the buddy box; no spectators are allowed. If using two bikes, Rider 1 must enter the buddy box and make contact between the front tire of their bike and the rear tire of Rider 2’s bike while Rider 2 stands beside their bike. Rider 2 may then mount their bike and exit the buddy box. If using one bike, Rider 1 must enter the buddy box, come to a complete stop, and dismount. Rider 2 may then mount the bike and exit the buddy box. The buddy box is a high-caution area; any rider entering at an unsafe speed may be disqualified. Any rider who collides with another rider, bike, spectator, or damages the ribbon marking the buddy box may also be disqualified. Extreme caution is required when exiting the buddy box and merging into race traffic; any rider causing another rider to crash upon exiting may be disqualified.

12. XC - ATV Buddy Class: Entries must consist of 2-man teams of any skill level. The minimum age is 14, with a minimum engine displacement of 200cc (2 or 4-stroke). Riders may operate either two quads or one quad. Substitutions of riders or quads are not permitted after the race begins. Buddy teams consisting of Cub Mountain Racing Series members will not receive points if they substitute riders during any event. The same two riders must compete in each race to earn points. Riders must alternate laps and may only swap in the designated buddy box located after the scoring tent. Only buddy class riders and race officials may enter the buddy box; no spectators are allowed. If using two quads, Rider 1 must enter the buddy box and make contact between the front tires of their quad and the rear tires of Rider 2’s quad while Rider 2 stands beside their quad. Rider 2 may then mount their quad and exit the buddy box. If using one quad, Rider 1 must enter the buddy box, come to a complete stop, and dismount. Rider 2 may then mount the quad and exit the buddy box. The buddy box is a high-caution area; any rider entering at an unsafe speed may be disqualified. Any rider who collides with another rider, quad, spectator, or damages the ribbon marking the buddy box may also be disqualified. Extreme caution is required when exiting the buddy box and merging into race traffic; any rider causing another rider to crash upon exiting may be disqualified.

13. Utility ATV Class: This class is exclusively for true utility ATVs. ATVs such as Scramblers, heavily modified machines, and Renegades are not permitted in this class. Refer to the guidelines below to differentiate between utility and sport ATVs.

Feature	Utility ATV	Sport ATV
Purpose	Work-focused (farming, hauling, hunting, etc.)	Recreation-focused (racing, trail riding, stunts)
Design	Heavier, rugged, built for towing/carrying loads	Lightweight, agile, designed for speed and handling
Speed & Agility	Slower, more torque and stability	Faster, highly responsive for quick maneuvers
Suspension	Softer, for comfort and load-bearing	Stiffer, for jumping and high-speed control
4WD Capability	Often 4x4, great for rough terrain and mud	Usually 2WD, optimized for dry tracks and trails
Accessories	Can use plows, winches, cargo racks, hitches	Minimal attachments, usually none
Rider Position	Upright and relaxed	Aggressive, forward-leaning

CLASS MOVEMENT:

14. Classification Advancement and Promotion

14a. The Cub Mountain Racing Series may implement changes to rider classification advancement methods at any time during the season. Any modifications made during a series or season will take effect at the conclusion of that season or series. For instance, a change that results in a rider moving up to a higher skill division will take effect at the end of that season or series, with the rider being advanced based on the new criteria. Exceptions to this policy will be determined by a vote of the Rule Committee.

14b. Riders who are currently riding at or anticipate riding at the next higher skill level are encouraged to voluntarily move to that level without external provocation or encouragement from protests or the Cub Mountain Racing Series. In the interest of good sportsmanship and fair competition, riders should not delay their transition to a proper classification.

14c. Riders found competing in a classification with a skill level consistently below their actual ability (commonly referred to as “sandbagging”) may be subject to mid-season advancement based on a review and decision by the Cub Mountain Racing Series Rule Committee. This rule is generally applicable when a rider commenced the season riding above their appropriate level, but not for those who started at a class-appropriate level. The Cub Mountain Racing Series retains the right to advance any riders deemed to be competing below their current ability.

14d. **Forced Promotion to Expert (A to AA) Class:**  
Any rider who competes at the Motorcycle AA or ATV Pro level during any event in the season must remain in the Expert class for the duration of that season. Riders aged 40 and above will not be compelled to participate in the Expert class, regardless of their overall or class standings from previous seasons. These riders may opt to compete in the A class, irrespective of their previous season's overall finish position, and may move into or out of the Expert class throughout the season. Riders under the age of 18 will also not be mandated to ride in the Expert class, regardless of their previous season's overall or class standings.

14e. **Forced Promotion to the Advanced (A) Class:**  
A "B" rider who finishes 1st overall in the previous season or 2nd overall in their class for two out of three seasons must advance to the A class in the subsequent season. Riders under the age of 16 will not be compelled to transition to the A class, regardless of their previous season's standings.

14f. **Forced Promotion to the Intermediate (B) Class:**  
A "C" rider who finishes 1st overall in the previous season or 2nd overall in their class for two out of three seasons must advance to the B class in the next season.

14g. **Forced Promotion from Beginner to Novice (C) Class:**  
Any rider finishing in the top 5 in points from the previous season must advance to the C class.

14h. **Promotion from Youth Classification to Amateur:**  
Youth riders who qualify based on age and machine type may voluntarily advance to an Amateur classification. No mandatory advancements from the Youth classification will be enforced. Youth riders can transition directly to a “C,” “B,” or “A” class based on their skill level. Qualified youth riders may return to a Youth class as long as they meet the age and machine requirements.

15. Classification Demotion / Moving Back to a Lower Classification

15a. Class advancements are considered permanent; however, changes may be requested in writing to the Cub Mountain Racing Series. Supporting evidence or reasons must accompany the request, along with a $50 administrative fee. Only riders who are demonstrably uncompetitive in their class and who would not dominate a lower class will be considered for a return to the intermediate skill classification. Requests citing "sitting out a few seasons" or "time off due to injuries" are generally insufficient grounds for classification demotion. In extreme cases, requests to return to the Novice class may be considered, but approval will be rare and require clear, indisputable evidence that the rider is unable to compete at their current level. The Cub Mountain Racing Series is committed to maintaining the integrity of this rule to ensure riders are placed in appropriate skill level classifications.

15b. **Demotion (A to B):**  
A self-advanced A rider who previously competed at the B level may revert to the B level if they have participated in no more than two events at the A level. This does not apply to riders who were forced to advance. No written request is required, and this option may only be exercised once.

15c. **Demotion (B to C):**  
A self-advanced B rider who competed at the C level in the previous season may return to the C class if: a) they have participated in no more than two events at the B level, and b) they meet the classification requirements for the C class. This does not apply to riders who were forced to advance. No written request is required, and this option may only be exercised once.

15d. **Demotion (C to Beginner):**  
Advancement to the C class is permanent and may not be changed back to the Beginner skill classification for any reason.

Chapter 4: Competition Apparel Minimum Requirements

1. These requirements represent the minimum standards for competition. Additional safety gear is highly recommended. Riders not meeting these requirements may be disqualified from competition.

2. Eye protection in the form of shatterproof goggles or appropriate, secure safety glasses must be worn during all competitions.

3. Protective pants and long-sleeve jerseys are mandatory during all competitions.

4. Protective boots must be worn during all competitions. Boots must be at least 8 inches high. Youth riders are required to wear high-top boots made of leather or similar protective materials that fully cover the ankle and lower shin.

5. Safety apparel must be worn at all times during competition.

6. A full-face, DOT-approved helmet must be worn at all times while operating a motorcycle or ATV. This includes during the event, while transporting to the start line, in the pit area, etc. Riders not wearing a helmet while operating a vehicle may face penalties or disqualification at the promoter’s discretion.

7. It is the rider’s sole responsibility to select a helmet and safety apparel that provide adequate protection.

---

Chapter 5: Equipment

1. Handlebars must be constructed from steel, aluminum, or other suitable mass-manufactured materials. Repaired, cracked, or broken handlebars are strictly prohibited.

2. Gas tanks must be in good condition; leaking tanks are not permitted. Gas may only be carried within the machine's manufactured gas tank.

3. Each machine must be equipped with a functional kill switch.

4. The maximum overall tire width for ATVs is 50 inches.

5. All motorcycles and ATVs must have functional front and rear brakes and a self-closing throttle.

6. All ATV front bumpers must be of a tubular design and free of sharp protruding edges.

7. All machines must have functional silencers. Exhaust systems must not exceed the maximum sound level of 94 dB as measured 20 inches from the exhaust exit. Sound checks are not mandatory; however, a promoter may disqualify any machine deemed excessively loud. Silencers must remain attached to the machine for the duration of the event. The disqualification of one machine by a promoter does not necessitate testing of all other machines.

8. All machines must be in good working order, with no loose parts, leaks, and overall mechanical soundness. Vehicles may be disqualified from competition due to safety concerns at the promoter’s discretion.

9. Radio communication with riders is prohibited. Communication with field personnel or pit crews is permitted, provided it does not interfere with the event promoter’s frequencies, specifically GMRS channel 4. Interference with official radio frequencies may result in penalties for the rider.

10. The Race Coordinator reserves the right to disqualify any vehicle that does not conform to the established rules. They may inspect any part of a vehicle entered into an event at any time before, during, or after the event. A rider who refuses inspection will automatically be disqualified from the event and may face further disqualification from the Cub Mountain Racing Series.

11. An inspection conducted by the referee or any official does not imply that the vehicle is deemed safe but merely that it has met the specific rules for which it was inspected. It is the rider’s sole responsibility to ensure the condition of their vehicle and riding equipment.

12. The machine on which a rider starts must be the same machine used to complete the entire event. Riders are prohibited from changing machines during an event. Should a rider’s original machine become inoperable, the rider may not return to the course for "practice" or any other reason. Standard penalties will include disqualification, although this may be reduced under specific circumstances.

13. Riders may display numbers of any color on their number plates, with any background color, except that red backgrounds with white numbers are reserved for Expert classes.

14. Studded tires are not permitted on any machine, regardless of weather conditions.

15. The use of horns on any machine is strictly prohibited.

Chapter 6: Riders Meetings

1. Attendance at riders' meetings is mandatory. All riders are required to participate. Penalties for riders resulting from missing information provided during a meeting will be enforced.

2. All riders must turn off their engines during the riders' meeting, regardless of their proximity to the speakers. This requirement applies to all riders in the pit area and any other locations within earshot of the meeting. Riders who fail to stop their engines or otherwise disrupt the meeting may be penalized.

3. Riders' meetings will be held “on the line” 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.

---

Chapter 7: Start Procedures

1. Refer to the event-specific race flyer for race times, and be mindful of time zone changes.

2. Cub Mountain Racing Series events will feature dead engine starts, except for ATV and bike peewee races unless otherwise announced by the Race Coordinator.

3. The starting order for classes will be standardized each season by the Cub Mountain Racing Series, and all events will adhere to the same starting order.

4. The starting order will be indicated by signs on stakes to identify class rows. Classes may be combined on one row only as specified in point #3. Large classes (greater than 40) may start on two rows, with both rows commencing simultaneously.

5. Riders must line up perpendicular to the starting line signs behind the white line or the imaginary line between row number signs in an orderly fashion, starting no farther than 10 feet from the start line stake or marking, and no farther than 10 feet apart from one another. Riders must line up on the start field side of all stakes and markers. Riders may not move the start line stakes or line up outside the markers unless explicitly directed to do so by the starter. Improperly lined up riders may cause false starts in the following class and may be penalized for non-compliance. The penalty, if imposed, will be the loss of first lap scoring.

6. Cub Mountain Racing Series Start Procedure:

   a. The starter must be clearly visible to the entire start line and wear identifying clothing.

   b. A green flag will be used to initiate the event.

   c. The starter will signal to kill engines approximately 30 seconds before the start by waving a blue flag with a yellow stripe.

   d. All riders, across all rows and classes, must kill their engines.

   e. The starter will hold the blue/yellow flag out. Approximately 10 seconds before the start, the starter will lower the flag to the ground to indicate the countdown.

   f. After about 10 seconds, the starter will wave the green flag to begin the race.

   g. Riders may start their engines and proceed only after the flag is waving.

7. Classes will start 30 seconds to one minute apart, at the discretion of the promoter and scorer at all events.

8. Any rider found starting in the wrong row will incur a penalty of at least one lap, up to disqualification. The rider’s first lap will be removed from scoring, and their position recalculated. A rider who starts in the wrong row and completes only one lap will be placed last in their class, a minute behind the next rider.

9. Any rider who has a false start (starting before the green flag is dropped) must return to the line behind their class and start with the next class. A rider who has a false start and does not return will incur a penalty of at least one lap.

10. Any rider whose machine does not start within 30 seconds of the start must remove their machine from the start area immediately. Such a rider may attempt to restart their machine with the next class. Failure to clear the start line in time for the next class may result in a penalty. Once the starter has signaled for engines to be turned off, no engines are to be started, including those from previous classes that have not yet started.

---

Chapter 8: Scoring

1. Cub Mountain Racing Series events will utilize an electronic RFID transponder scoring system. Transponders labeled “E5500000xxxx” are required for event scoring.

2. The scoring tent is a high-caution area. Riders should enter the tent quickly but with control, ensuring a smooth stop. Riders performing wheelie stops, sliding stops, or any other uncontrolled entry into the tent are subject to penalties, including loss of laps or disqualification, depending on the severity. Contact with scoring personnel or equipment due to loss of control will result in a minimum penalty of one position, with a maximum penalty of season disqualification. Any damage to equipment in the scoring area will incur fines and repair costs.

3. For events scored with the Event Scoring System, riders must enter the scoring tent in complete control of their machines and come to a complete stop. Riders should look straight ahead for their rider number to be recorded. Flags will be displayed in green (indicating the race is in progress), white (one lap to go), or checkered (race concluded). A digital display will show the riders' unofficial place in their class, rider number, and time behind the rider in front of them.

4. Riders must come to a complete stop to be properly scored. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure they are scored. Riders who fail to stop or who coast through the scoring tent or checkpoint may not be scored.

5. If a rider accidentally leaves the tent without being scored, they must move out of the way of any riders behind them. After all traffic has cleared the tent, the scorer may manually enter the rider’s number if their transponder did not read. A rider who refuses to clear the tent or wait will not be scored. A rider who enters the tent backward may be disqualified. In the event of a missed score, a rider may dismount and enter the tent on foot for scoring, provided their machine does not obstruct the course.

6. Riders must make every effort to exit the tent quickly to avoid bottlenecks. No pit activities, such as finding drink tubes or making mechanical adjustments, are permitted inside the scoring tent. Riders should enter, stop to be scored, and exit promptly. Delays caused by riders in the tent may lead to penalties.

7. Riders are prohibited from pitting, refueling, or obtaining water at the scoring station. Interfering with other riders being scored may result in penalties up to disqualification.

8. Riders may not converse with scoring personnel during the event except to report emergencies. Scoring personnel are prohibited from answering general questions (e.g., how many laps remain) as this may delay scoring for other riders.

9. All riders must enter the scoring area in a single file. At no time should the front tire of a rider's machine pass the rearmost part of the machine in front; violations may result in penalties. Passing inside the scoring tent is grounds for disqualification, unless specifically instructed by the scorer. Contact that causes a rider in front to fall may also lead to disqualification.

10. A rider who kills their engine must dismount and remove their machine from the tent immediately. If a rider kills their engine in the scoring tent, and no riders are behind them, they may attempt to restart their machine quickly. Failure to remove the machine while obstructing other riders may result in penalties. Riders must move their machines at least 15 feet beyond the tent exit and clear of exiting riders.

11. Riders are required to use the transponder assigned to them and the helmet number provided at signup. Riders who fail to use their assigned transponder and number will not be scored. Misuse of the wrong transponder may result in penalties, including disqualification if it causes scoring errors. The transponder should be affixed to the underside of the helmet visor at the front or leading edge. If the helmet visor is metallic, the transponder should be placed on the inside front of the rider’s chest protector.

12. Each rider will receive a row number sticker to be affixed to the back of their helmet. Proper display of this sticker is mandatory; failure to comply may result in a penalty of one lap.

13. No rider shall display more than one number label on the left or right side of the helmet. Riders with old or multiple numbers may not be scored and may incur penalties if the old number causes issues. All other numbers should be covered or removed.

14. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure their number label is correctly placed on their helmet. The correct location is along the lower left edge of the helmet, just below the left ear, aligned with the centerline of the rider’s neck. The label should not cover any vents where it may be damaged or torn, nor should it be obstructed by any goggle strap. Riders who fail to position their number correctly may not be scored. Those claiming missed scores will be required to demonstrate their helmet with the transponder and label correctly positioned.

15. Riders must ensure that their number label remains affixed during the event. The helmet should be thoroughly dry and oil-free prior to applying the label. The supplied labels have sufficient adhesion to remain in place if the helmet is properly cleaned. Taping the label in lieu of using its adhesive backing is not recommended. A rider missing their label may not be scored, with a minimum penalty of losing one finishing position or one lap, depending on the severity of the issues caused.

16. Scoring and signup personnel will assist any rider with questions about transponder and label placement prior to the event.

17. In the event of a halted race, scoring may be conducted based on the current standings of all riders as they finish or at a specific point in the race (e.g., the end of lap 2), at the discretion of the promoter or scorer.

Chapter 9: Finish Procedures

1. The white flag will be displayed in the scoring tent to indicate that the leader is on their last lap and will receive the checkered flag upon completing that lap. The white flag will be shown to the leader when it is estimated they will meet the minimum event time upon finishing one more lap.

2. Once the leader has completed one lap after the white flag is displayed, the race is considered over, and the checkered flag will be shown. The race may be declared "over" early or before the leader finishes at the promoter’s or scorer’s discretion to clear the course of slower riders for the next event, clear the course before dark, or due to adverse track conditions.

3. The scoring zone begins at the Finish Line Tower, typically located 25 to 50 feet from the entrance. This marks a strict no-passing and high-caution zone. Passing in this area may result in penalties. The standard penalty for passing in this zone, but not inside the scoring tent, will be the loss of the offending lap’s score. Within the no-passing zone, no part of the front tire should surpass the rearmost part of the machine in front, and riders must maintain a single-file line.

4. Riders may pass within the no-passing zone only if the rider being passed is on a disabled machine and they are directed to do so by scoring personnel.

5. If a "Checkered Flag" is displayed prior to 25 feet from the scoring tent, the race is considered over at that point, and no passing may occur beyond that point. The checkered flag will be waved by race personnel or affixed to barrier posts before the scoring tent. A checkered flag is not required to mark the finish line 25 feet prior to the scoring tent.

6. After the checkered flag is displayed (even if it is displayed early), riders remaining on the course will have 1.5 times the leader's finishing lap time to return to the scoring tent and clear the course (e.g., if the leader’s last lap time was 20 minutes, remaining riders have 30 minutes to clear the course). Any rider failing to reach the scoring station before it closes will be scored based on their previous lap (if applicable). The scorer may extend the closing time at their discretion.

7. It is the rider’s responsibility to see and acknowledge the checkered flag. Riders must not re-enter the course after the checkered flag has been displayed, indicating the race's end. A rider who re-enters the course and completes a lap after the checkered flag is displayed will incur penalties, including the loss of the extra lap score and the last lap completed.

8. A DNF (Did Not Finish) designation will be assigned to any rider not completing at least one lap.

9. Riders must complete the course using their own or their machine’s power. A rider may push their machine to the finish line but may not receive assistance from spectators, crew, etc. Riders may not block the course while pushing their machine across the finish line and must do so on the regular course to be scored.

---

Chapter 10: Results

1. All class results will be posted after the final rider is scored. Results will be categorized by class and will include the rider’s name, place, helmet number, and manufacturer brand as indicated at signup.

2. Riders participating in contingency programs must verify that the results are accurate, including the correct manufacturer. Corrections must be submitted to scoring personnel in writing; failure to do so may result in the loss of contingency credit.

3. Riders are not permitted to remove the posted results unless directed by the referee or scorer. If a rider has questions or concerns regarding the posted results, they should inform the referee, and protest procedures should be followed if appropriate.

4. The protest period will close 30 minutes after the results have been posted, making the results final. Any errors discovered afterward will not affect award positions.

5. In the absence of protests and with all riders present, the protest period for a class may be shortened.

6. In exceptional circumstances where obvious human error has occurred, and it is clear that the scores are incorrect, the Cub Mountain Racing Series may correct finish positions at their discretion. Such corrections will not affect trophy awards as determined after the protest period.

7. It is the responsibility of each rider to review their score during the protest period to ensure its accuracy.

8. Scores displayed at the scoring tent are unofficial. Scores at race time may be adjusted prior to posting due to errors in signup, disqualifications, penalty assessments, etc. It is each rider’s responsibility to verify their final score on the official posted results.

---

Chapter 11: Protests

1. The following procedures will govern protests.

2. Rider classification protests will be submitted to and decided by the Cub Mountain Racing Series. If classification protests cannot be resolved due to insufficient information at the time of the protest, the ruling will favor the individual being protested.

3. Any rider competing in an event may file a protest with the Race Manager regarding rule violations by riders participating in their class. Protests must be made before the end of the protest period, which is 30 minutes after scores are posted.

4. No protests will be accepted after the protest period.

5. Rider classification protests and appeals will be directed to the Cub Mountain Racing Series for rulings. The Series will make determinations on rider classifications and handle related protests. Appeals will be decided by the Rules Committee. The Cub Mountain Racing Series rulings on rider classifications are binding and final.

6. The Race Coordinator, Kyle Farley, has the authority to disqualify or impose penalties on riders as a result of a protest. A disqualified rider forfeits all awards, points, etc., from that event. Protest decisions may be retroactively applied to other series events at the discretion of the Cub Mountain Racing Series rules committee.

7. Any legitimate expenses incurred by the Race Manager due to a protest must be covered by the protesting party. The Race Coordinator may require a deposit from the protestor sufficient to cover these expenses, which may include the transportation of an impounded vehicle, award postage, and any off-site work costs performed on the protested rider’s vehicle.

8. The Cub Mountain Racing Series may promote riders based on rider classification rules. The Series will endeavor to notify the rider via postal mail. Promoted riders may appeal such promotions at no charge. Any appeal must be submitted to the Cub Mountain Racing Series with appropriate documentation stating the reasons against promotion. The Cub Mountain Racing Series will rule on such appeals, and their rulings will be final.

---

Chapter 12: Awards

1. Awards for amateur classes will take the form of a plaque or trophy.

2. Awards will be presented to riders following the protest period.

3. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in every class.

4. In the event of any unforeseen issues that delay the scoring of the event, scores will be calculated and results posted after the event, within 48 hours. In such cases, awards will be available at the next event.

5. Cash awards will only be offered for the Expert (AA, ATV Pro) classes. Purse amounts will be posted on the website.

6. End-of-season (banquet) awards will be given to any participant who participated in the minimum qualifying number of events for the banquet.

---

Chapter 13: Points

1. Points will be awarded and tracked for all Cub Mountain Racing Series riders in the class for which they register (or officially change).

2. Riders may change points classes at any time.

3. Points cannot be carried over from one class to another. When a rider changes classes, all previously entered races from the initial class will show as zeros in the new class, similar to not entering the event. These zeros can be excluded from points calculations in the new class.

4. Riders who change classes mid-series will only receive one end-of-season award. End-of-season points will be based on the class with the highest finishing position.

5. Points accumulation will begin with the first event in which the rider participates.

6. The number of events used for determining points will consist of the rider's best event scores, and a rider must enter the minimum number of events to qualify for end-of-season awards. The minimum will be the same as the number of best scores counted. Minimum entries must be “entries,” not finishes, and a DNF counts as an entry. Participation in any class counts. "Best scores counted" applies to both class and overall points. The same number of "drops" applies to overall points.

   **Season Events:**
   - **Number of Events:** 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12
   - **Best Scores Counted:** 7 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 10
   - **Minimum Entries Required:** 7 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 10

7. Points will be calculated for end-of-season awards. The rider’s class point totals will be summed for end-of-season awards. Riders who do not enter the minimum number of events will not be eligible for awards. In the event that there are 7 rounds or fewer in a season, there will be one drop, and minimum entries will be one less than the number of best scores counted. A minimum of 8 rounds must be held in a season for a banquet to occur.

8. Ties in points will be resolved by counting the rider with the most first-place points awarded, then second-place points, and so on until a winner is determined. All scores will be included in this calculation, including previously dropped scores. If this does not resolve the tie, a true tie will be declared.

9. Points Schedule for Classes:
   - 1st = 30
   - 2nd = 25
   - 3rd = 21
   - 4th = 18
   - 5th = 16
   - 6th = 15
   - 7th = 14
   - 8th = 13
   - 9th = 12
   - 10th = 11
   - 11th = 10
   - 12th = 9
   - 13th = 8
   - 14th = 7
   - 15th = 6
   - 16th = 5
   - 17th = 4
   - 18th = 3
   - 19th = 2
   - 20th = 1

10. Points Schedule for Season Overall:
    - 1st = 530
    - 2nd = 525
    - 3rd = 521
    - 4th = 518
    - 5th = 516
    - 6th = 515
    - 7th = 514
    - 8th = 513
    - 9th = 512
    - 10th = 511
    - Remaining positions descend by 1 point per place through 520th place, which receives 1 point.
    - DNF = 1 point

Chapter 14: Violations and Penalties

1. The promoter, Race Coordinator (Kyle Farley), or Trail Boss may disqualify any rider from a race for any violation of Cub Mountain Racing Series rules, insubordination, or any actions deemed detrimental to the race and the sport. Such disqualification includes the forfeiture of rights related to the event and may result in expulsion from the meet site.

2. A rider’s actions may result in disqualification during the event. The promoter or scorer may choose not to remove the rider from the course to prevent disruptions during the race. In such cases, the rider will be informed of their disqualification when scores are posted. The rider may protest this disqualification during the protest period.

3. Penalties may be imposed for rule violations. Generally, penalties will be at the discretion of the promoter or scorer based on the nature and circumstances of the offense. Possible penalties include:

   a. Reduction of one or more positions within their class. When such a penalty is assessed, the rider’s last score will be removed, and their score will be re-entered behind the appropriate rider in their class. The new score will assume the adjusted time for the new score position.

   b. Reduction in the number of laps completed. In cases of lap reduction, the rider’s first lap score will be removed for the lap where the issue occurred.

   c. Disqualification. Riders may be disqualified during or after an event. In cases of disqualification during the event, no notice will be given to the rider to avoid causing disruption to the remaining participants.

   d. Additional penalties. Riders may incur additional penalties, including retroactive penalties, disqualification from the next event, or disqualification from the series.

   e. Loss of points. Points may be forfeited for the event or retroactively for all events during the season.

4. The following offenses are subject to disciplinary action by the promoter, Race Coordinator, or Cub Mountain Racing Series staff. This list serves as guidance for competitors but does not restrict the Cub Mountain Racing Series from enforcing penalties for other actions deemed detrimental to the sport that are not specifically included here.

   a. Attempting to gain an unfair advantage.

   b. Intentional cheating of any form.

   c. Falsifying one’s name, age, or ability level.

   d. Competing on a machine that does not qualify for the designated class.

Chapter 15: Youth

Warning: Motor vehicle incidents, whether in competition or otherwise, can result in injury or death. Motor vehicles should never be operated by minors without parental consent or supervision. Cub Mountain ATV Park, L.L.C. (Cub Mountain Racing Series) does not assess the skills of individual participants in amateur or youth events, nor do they license amateur or youth competitors or judge rider competence. Participants (and legal guardians) are solely responsible for their safety. Be aware that motorsports are inherently dangerous. Neither the Cub Mountain Racing Series nor the promoter will assess the skills of individual participants or inspect the condition of their motorcycles. Parents or legal guardians must be present at all times and are solely responsible for the condition of their child’s motorcycle and their competence in operating it. The promoter does not provide medical insurance coverage. If you have concerns about your child’s ability to participate in this event or if you believe your personal insurance coverage is inadequate to cover any injury or loss that might occur, do not enter your child in this event.

1. Unless otherwise specified in this section, all Cub Mountain Racing Series rules also apply to youth events.

2. Parents and legal guardians are strongly encouraged to inspect the course prior to the race. Any questions or concerns should be brought to the attention of a race official or promoter immediately.

3. A parent or legal guardian must sign a minor release form allowing the youth to compete. The legal guardian must have notarized documentation reflecting their legal guardian status. This document must be retained by the promoter and filed with the rider’s release form. Parents and/or legal guardians must present proper photo identification to sign releases.

4. The parent or legal guardian must remain present at all times during the rider’s participation in any youth event.

5. To authorize a minor to compete, the parent or legal guardian must sign below the minor’s signature on the entry form.

6. The minor must be of sufficient size and maturity to control their machine safely at all times, including stopping, starting, standing still, mounting, dismounting, and placing both feet on the ground. The promoter or referee has the authority to disqualify any rider they deem incapable of safely controlling their motorcycle. No youth riders may receive assistance on dead engine starts. Only race personnel or sweep riders are permitted to ride vehicles on the course during any race.

7. Youth Classifications: Youth classes offered have combinations of age, displacement, and machine design requirements. Cub Mountain Racing Series classes encompass a wide range of riders and machines based on prior participation. There may not be a class available for every rider. Electric bikes are allowed in any youth class as long as minimum and maximum wheel size and wheelbase requirements are met. Riders must meet all class requirements to participate.

Ages: In the Cub Mountain Racing Series GP Series, a rider’s age is determined by their age as of January 1st of that year. In the Cub Mountain Racing Series Winter Series ONLY, a rider’s age on the date of Round 1 will determine their age for the entire season. However, a rider may advance to the next higher age class (within the youth division only) if they will be eligible to do so at any time during the season. Once a rider moves to the next higher age class, they may not revert to the lower age class. Riders are encouraged to determine at the start of the points season which age class they will participate in for the duration of the points season.

Riders who act unsportsmanlike or make contact with other riders may be removed from the event. No youth rider is permitted to make contact with another youth rider at any time on the course. Such conduct will be evaluated at the discretion of race personnel.

9. Micro, Intermediate, and Youth riders' meetings will be held at the start area 15 minutes prior to their scheduled start time.

10. Riders must come to a complete stop at all scoring stations or checkpoints unless otherwise instructed by the scorer. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure they are scored.

11. Guardians, parents, and guests must remain at least 15 feet away from all scoring personnel. Conversations with or distractions to the scorers are prohibited. Failure to comply may result in penalties for the rider.

12. Riders may be disqualified or removed from an event at the promoter’s discretion based on the rider’s perceived abilities or perceived reckless behavior.

Chapter 16: GP Race Format & Scoring

1. Races will consist of a two-race format, except for Micro classes.

2. Race Lengths:
   - Micro: 1-2 mile course / (1) 30-minute moto
   - Intermediate: 2-4 mile course / (2) 30-minute motos
   - Youth: 3-5 mile course / (2) 30-minute motos
   - Adult: 3-5 mile course / (2) 45-minute motos

3. GP Scoring: Riders will be scored using Event Scoring System transponders. Scoring will be based on finishes in both motos, with the exception of Micro classes. Finish positions will count as points (e.g., 1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points, 3rd = 3 points, etc.). The scores from both motos will be added together for the overall score (e.g., 1st in one moto and 4th in another = 5 points; 2nd and 3rd = 5 points). Ties will be broken by the highest finisher in the second moto.

4. Awards: The top three finishers in each class will receive an award.
