All AMA/ATVA rules set forth in the currentAMA rulebook for Amateur, Semi-Pro, Youth and ATV events apply with the following additions:

A Virginia resident must be a member of the AMA/ATVA and District 13 to participate in any AMA/ATVA sanctioned event. Anyone residing outside of the state of Virginia must be a member of the AMA/ATVA and their recognized district organization to participate in any AMA/ATVA sanctioned event. Riders residing outside of the state of Virginia wishing to compete for District 13 Year End Championship Awards must be a member of District 13.

2008 District 13 MX dues will be $25 per calender year for riders and $15 per year for associate membership. 2008 memberships will expire on December 31, 2008.

Youth classes are based on the rider’s age and size of his/her motorcycle or ATV. A rider’s age on January 1, 2008 will determine his/her age for the year. However, a youth rider may move to the next higher age class if he/she will be eligible to do so at any time during the year. Once a rider moves to a higher age group, he/she cannot move back. Any points earned in a lower age group will not transfer to the higher age group. Youth ages are 4-16 years of age. This rule does not apply to Youth ATV Classes. Youth ATV riders must be of minimum age on the day of the event.

Amateur classes will be divided into four divisions - A, B, C, D with the division separated into three classes, 125cc, MX Lites and Motocross. D class is intended as an introductory class to the sport of motocross, therefore, it is not recognized as a District 13 Championship class and is not eligible for end of year awards. Amateur riders must be a minimum of 12 years old and must be at least 14 years old to ride 250/Open motorcycles.

Age classes consist of riders 14 to 24, 25 and older, 30 and older, 35 and older, 40 and older and 45 and older. Class qualification is determined by age on the date of the event.

Amateur ATV classes will be divided into six divisions - Open A, Open B, Open C, Vet 30+, Senior 40+ and Women’s ATV. Amateur ATV racers must be a minimum of 16 years old.

SUPERMINI 8 -15 (70-105CC 2 STROKE AND 75-150CC 4 STROKE - MIN 13 YEARS OF AGE TO RACE 126CC - 150CC 4STROKE)

ALL RIDERS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OR AN AUTHORIZED ADULT WITH WRITTEN, NOTARIZED PERMISSION OF PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIAN AND MUST BE PRESENT AT ALL TIMES.

Youth riders will be allowed to sign-up for no more than three classes per day. Amateur riders will be allowed to sign-up for no more than three classes per day.

No one is allowed to be on the track during a race with the exception of the designated mechanic’s area. However, District 13 may allow, at the referee’s discretion, ONE parent in the INFIELD during the 50cc races only.

The numbers 1-10 are reserved for the rider who earned that number in his /her respective class. New riders are encouraged to select a number above 70 or use the last three digits of your AMA/ATVA card. Riders may choose any number they like, understanding that popular numbers may require one or more riders to modify their number on race day. When duplicate numbers are registered, the computer will select the rider who shall modify his/her number for that event. To ensure correct scoring, the selected rider MUST modify or change his/her number as directed by the referee of the event or risk not being scored. District 13 would recommend that if you have a duplicate number more than three times during any season, you should select another number.

District 13 will issue 2 generic passes to each Promoter, MX Committee member and Congress Delegate to allow free gate entry at all District 13 points paying events.

Pit Transportation - Not all tracks will allow the use of pit transportation. At the tracks that do allow pit transportation, you must have in your possession a valid state driver’s license. Failure to comply may result in you or your riders’s disqualification.

A rider is responsible for the actions of his/her family members and/or pit crew at all times while on track premisies.

Riders must practice with the class in which they signed up for. Any rider practicing in the wrong practice will be subject

to disqualification. In the event a rider has missed his/her practice, then he/she should ask the referee to be placed in an alternate practice session.

Rider’s meetings are mandatory and all entrants or a representative should be present. Anyone not attending a mandatory rider’s meeting will risk disqualification. A random roll call during the rider’s meeting could be called and a rider could be penalized at the referee’s discretion if he/she is absent or not represented.

Safety equipment required. The minimum safety equipment required is a Dot/Snell approved helmet, boots that extend past the ankle, gloves, goggles or face shield, long sleeves and long pants. D-13 recommends the use of a chest protector and a neck brace such as the Leatt brace.

Championship points will be tracked by the rider’s name, AMA/ATVA number and the District 13 Member number. Unless designated as NON-POINTS, all scheduled races are points races. Points will be awarded based on a rider’s overall finish. The 2008 D-13 Championship schedule will consist of the following number of points races at these tracks: Action Town - 4, Birch Creek - 5, Budd's Creek - 2, ECMX - 6, Lake Sugar Tree - 4, NCMP - 1, Rolling Hills - 2, South Fork - 6, and Virginia Motorsports Park - 6. There will be a total of 6 throw away races. A rider has the opportunity to score points from 30 races during the 2008 season. A rider must compete in at least 15 points races and finish in the top ten in his/her class to qualify for end of year awards. If an event is cancelled, it is treated as a “non event”. Specifically, it may not be used in any manner to determine a rider’s final points standings. Tie breakers will be determined by the number of first place overall finishes followed by the number of seconds, thirds and so on until the tie is broken. All overall finishes will be used to calculate the number of first place finishes and so on for tie breakers.
