Comments Off on 3 Hour Team Challenge Rules

This race will be held on Saturday of August weekend (short track). We will  allow both solo riders and teams. Teams will consist of 2-3 members.  Any size bike may be on the team, however, you will be scored according to the largest displacement bike on the team.  This is a “pony express” style race, meaning each team member can use their own bike or bikes can be shared, whichever you prefer.  If your team has mulitple bikes, all bikes will carry the same competition number.  This number will be the competition number of one of the team participants.  If you choose to ride solo, you can not ride for more than 80 min in one session.  This will pretty much be run exactly  like the 5 hour as far as rules, with a few additions. Bike classes will remain  GP1 (UL), GP2 (LW), GP3 (MW) and GP4 (HW). N250 bikes do not qualify for this  race.

Hot Pit
1) There will be a strict speed limit of 45 MPH on the  hot pit lane, monitored by radar. The start and finish of hot pit will be marked with cones.
2)  Teams may have 5 crewmembers that assist on the hot pit. Crew assisting on the  hot pit lane must wear long pants and closed toe shoes.
3) Refueling of the  motorcycle can only happen when the rider is off the bike, the bike is on a stand and the engine is off.
4) Teams will be allowed to have the next bike  in pit lane prior to the pit stop. The bike must be on a stand, the engine off  and the rider off until the transponder is switched and the previous bike is  fueled.
5) Each team must provide a fire extinguisher for the hot pit lane  by their designated pit area.
6) Pit boxes will be set up from the control  tower back toward pit in.

Scoring:
1) All timing and scoring will  take place using AMB transponders.
2) Each team is allowed one transponder.  In the event of a crash, the transponder will need to be retrieved from the  crashed bike to be placed on the next bike to continue scoring.
3) The  winning team is the team that completes the most laps during the 3 hour event.  The total time of each team will be taken for scoring purposes. Number of laps  will be the primary scoring method. In the event that more than one team is on  the same lap the team completing the most laps in the shortest time will be  declared the winner.

Registration:
1) Entry fee is $90 per team at the track, $75 per team pre-registered.  Please have one member of your team pre-register/register.
2) Grid positions will be determined by qualifying sessions that will take  place during the final 3 practice sessions in the morning (slow/medium/fast).  One rider from each team will register their transponder as the official team  transponder before the practice session. Only times from that transponder during the final practice of the morning will be considered valid for qualifying and  the race.
