TENNESSEE MOTOCROSS ASSOCIATION
ATTN Riders: There are some new rules that have been put in place for the 2012 TMXA race season that all competitors need to be made aware of. The TMXA has chosen as a whole not to allow pit riding at any of the tracks at all. This will be a no tolerance rule and strictly enforced. People with physical disabilities or handicaps will be allowed to have a form of transportation if so needed. This was put in place not only for the riders safety themselves but for the spectators , small children , and vehicles in the pits. A pit speed of 5 mph will also be enforced when exiting or entering the track.. Parents please inform your riders of this. Punishment for violating theses rules can result in a disqualification from the event or events. All ATVS will be subject to a tech inspection and and must pass to be able to compete in a TMXA event. Parts of the inspection will include kill cord mounted and functioning properly, front and rear number plates with legible numbers, all quads will have to have nerf bars to race, and any safety concerns that may interfere with the safe operation of the ATV. Upon passage and completion of the inspection the ATV will be issued a passed tech band that must remain on the ATV for the rest of the calendar year. Any ATV’s that have not passed the inspection or received the tech band will not be allowed to compete. All AMA rules will apply unless other wise noted in the TMXA rider rules book. Classes stated by engine cc size, or by the term stock production or modified production will be enforced. Run the class your machine was designed for and do not make changes to any equipment that would make you ineligible for the class you are entering. The terms stock or modified are plainly stated in the AMA rules book, along with what parts can be changed or must be left as stock . If the rider is entering a class that has a stated cc engine size the machine must meet the requirements of that class, engine sizes must not exceed or be below the required size stated for that class. Example a 90cc engine cannot compete in the 70cc class nor could a 70cc compete in the 90 class. Any violating these rules will result in the disqualification from the entered class for the remainder of the calendar year , as well as a forfeit of all points acquired in the class. No cheating will be allowed, do not be made an example of this rule. The TMXA looks forward to a great 2012 racing season and feels these changes will help insure that we may continue to bring you some of the best racing in the mid south. The number one rule is have fun and be safe. THERE WILL BE "NO PIT RIDING" AT ANY OF THE TRACKS THIS YEAR!! |
