How to read the moto sheets:

After race registration has closed, the riders will been grouped with riders of similar age and ability into separate races called "motos". The motos will be posted on the moto board.


 


 



(1) Find your name (Rider A)
(2) Check that your age is correct as of today (7 years old and classified as a Rookie)
(3) Check that your bike number on the moto sheet is identical to the one on your number plate attached to your bike (111)
(4) Check that the moto description is correct, (7 Rookie)
If all this is correct, memorize your moto # and your 3 "gates". (it is a good idea to write this info down on your hand or a piece of tape taped onto your bike.) A gate is the position on the starting gate that is assigned for each of the 3 rounds that the rider will compete in.
(5) Find your moto number (9) and
(6) Find your 3 gates (6, 3, 5))
(7) Take note if you have a main (in this example you do not)and

If there is a problem with your moto, go to registration so that it can be corrected.

You should start preparing for the race, and listen for announcements. If there is a general repost or just a repost for your moto, you need to check the moto board to see if there was a change that impacted you. The announcer will then call "All riders to staging", or if it is a large race, a range of moto numbers to staging. Eg "First 20 motos into staging!"

How to Stage:

When the riders are called to staging, the stager will call riders into staging by moto number, not riders names.



 



At the back of the starting hill, there will be 10 roped-off lanes. Initially the first 10 motos of riders will load into the lane that corresponds with the right-most digit of their moto number.

The stager will then call each moto out of the lanes and the riders in that moto should form up on the first line behind the number that corresponds with the gate number they were assigned for the first round race.

In our example, when moto 9 was called up, the riders in moto 9 would exit lane 9 move up the hill and form up behind the line and with our rider A behind the number 6.

If there was a moto 19, that group of riders would fill the vacated lane 9. As each moto is released from the gate, the riders progress up the hill until they are "on the gate" and under the starter's orders.

This process continues until the last moto of the first round has completed their race and the process will be repeated with round 2 and then round 3.

Note to parents: No one except riders, race officials, and parents that need to assist boys 6 & under and/or girls 7 & under are allowed in staging.
