Race Procedures

1. An EnduroCross event will be made up of man-made obstacles and run in a qualifying, moto format.
   1. “Pro Lane” - All EX Pro riders must use the “Pro lane”. This section will not be used in the Intermediate, Novice, Veteran 35+, Junior or Women’s sessions. It will open when the afternoon practices start and will be used on all laps of all EX Pro class sessions only.
2. All riders must complete all obstacles on the course each lap to avoid a penalty.
   1. If a rider leaves the course at any time they must re-enter at the same point or at the first point where they can safely do so without interfering with other riders and without gaining an advantage. Failure to do so will result in the rider being penalized a minimum of one finishing position for the moto.
3. Start will be live engine, gate start. Riders jumping the start gate will be docked 1 lap.
   1. All gates must be filled, 2nd row starters (if any) must line up behind furthest outside gates (i.e., if there are 8 gates and 10 riders in a race, riders 9 & 10 will line up behind the riders gated in positions 7 & 8). Additionally, 2nd row starters must line up directly behind the bike in the 1st row and their front tire must stay behind the rear tire of the 1st row bike until the gate is dropped. Failure to follow this direction may result in lap and or position penalties.
4. A restart will be utilized in case of EX Pro Main Event race stoppage.
   1. If less than 3 laps are completed by the leader, bikes are sent back to the starting gate in original line-up order for complete Restart.
   2. If more than 3 laps are completed by the leader but less than 90% of the total distance laps will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps, bikes are placed in staggered start according to current running order. The lap in which the red flag was thrown will not be considered a complete lap. Upon restart no passing until going through the checkpoint. Remaining laps are to be completed.
   3. If 90% of laps are completed by the race leader before race is stopped, race is considered complete and finish order is based on scoring (15 lap race 90% = 13 laps, 6 lap race 90% = 5, 5 lap race 90% = 4, 4 lap race 90% = 3).
5. Course markings will be arrows, banners, tires, logs, and track markers.
   1. If at any time a rider questions the official course the event referee will make final determination of the legal course during the official track walk. At any other time, riders will be considered off course.
6. Races are officially ended for all contestants at the completion of the lap in which the checkered flag is displayed to the winner.
   1. The officially designated finish line is located at the site of the scoring/timing transponder receiver loop. To be considered as having completed a lap, the rider and their motorcycle must cross the plane of the officially designated finish line. Under special circumstances and at any time other than the checkered flag lap, crossing outside of the designated finish line obstacle can be considered a completed lap, as long as the rider continues the race for at least one more completed lap. Under normal circumstances all lap and finish positions will be determined by electronic timing devices (transponders). In the event the electronic timing system fails to record a time or lap position for any rider, scoring of the laps or finish will be based solely on the scorekeepers' decision.
   2. Riders do not need to take the checkered flag to be considered a finisher. Riders will be scored based on all laps completed.
   3. Should the checkered flag be displayed later than the official distance, the finishing order will be decided on the basis of the official distance.
   4. If more than one rider starts the race but does not complete one complete lap as per official scoring, those riders will be placed in the results based on their gridding position.
   5. A rider whose motorcycle is disabled before reaching the finish line may, by the rider's own unaided muscular energy, push or carry the motorcycle in the proper direction of the track to complete the race by crossing the finish line, unless the rider is determined to be a hazard by the Race Director.
