2011 Rule draft.
Trike Fest 2011 Drag Rules.
Saturday, the 25th @ 11:00AM grudge racing & Inspections begin. Actual racing starts at 1:00PM the absolute latest. Would much rather prefer to start around 12:00N We still have to do a group picture, and the awards banquet Saturday night.
In the years past we've had several different members do the drag races. TimSr in the early days, Rick and Dawn later on, and then Roger & Raffa in the most recent past few years.
This year, I'll be heading it up. I've got Xowner enlisted to help me, and I think Raffa will still be helping. Anyone that has previous experience and willing to help
out is encouraged to get with me. We are going to need help with the sign ups, the tech inspections, and also the brackets. Probably 6-8 people so if your available please let me know.
That being said, after reviewing the rules that Roger and Raffa have had in place for a few years now I've decided to basically just go with the same thing minus a few tweaks to try and keep everything consistent for everyone. My theory is that these rules are for the most party already pretty familiarized, and people that had their bikes setup last year should be in the same classes this go around as they were. Most of you should already be familiar with these rules, but for those that are not, here they are:
***Starting System***
We will now be using a Green light - Red light red is staging.. you will be pointed too to make sure you are ready..a simple nod of the helmet,,will tell us your ready.. when the red light turns green GO!!!! (DO NOT CREEP OR JUMP THE LINE! THERE IS A DELAY WHEN SWITCHING OFF AND THE GREEN COMES ON, WAIT FOR GREEN!) Finish line will be decided by 2 people on each side of the Finish line and a arm raise on that side of the track will tell the winner..and or a walkie talkie..
*** RED LIGHTS*** Red Lights will be counted as a LOSS.. obviously a 1/4,1/2 bike is a loss ..you will know it and the staging personnel will see it..staging person will be watching each start and its his or hers (Call) on the red light under 1/4 bike.. best bet .. wait till it turns green..
***If final win cannot be decide by either sides at the finish line a RE-RUN will be called... Re-runs are called at my other staging volunteer's discretion. If its too close, your re-running.
***All final lane choices will determined by wins and losses.If tie a coin will be flipped..

2.stock class
3. modified class
4.open class

B.must be 12yrs old or younger
C. conversions or Hybrids OK
D. machines will be paired as close as possible
2. Stock Class.

B.175cc-250cc
C.251cc-351cc 4 stroke
D.250cc 2 stroke
2 -Stock.

(aftermarket pipes are allowed if ran in this manor)( No out of frames)
- frame must be to factory spec. (no frame mod's)
- Engine must be the original, OEM equipped one. No aftermarket or different then originally equipped cylinders for 2 strokes or 4 strokes.
Any internal engine modifications allowed. 2 strokes are allowed to run aftermarket/non OEM cylinder heads. 4 strokes are not.
-No hybrids, conversions or engine swaps. Machine must be an original OEM three-wheeler.
-swing arm's, can be stock length or up to +4" extended ( will be approved by a tec)

This means unless your over 174cc you will run in the 49-174cc Stock class. I understand this isn't an ideal situation but I do not believe there to be enough entrants to make a whole new class at this time. Perhaps next year.

NOTE:
--NEW for 2011-- We are going to for the first time ever going to attempt a pre-sign up on FRIDAY EVENING!!!!!!!!!!! You MUST MUST MUST MUST register FRIDAY EVENING. Meet at the drag strip approximately a half hour after the end of the motocross races. This gives us adequate time to lay out the brackets and double check everything. Barring rain or some unforeseen circumstances, We WILL NOT ALLOW SATURDAY SIGNUPS!!!** If your not arriving until Saturday or late Friday night, please contact me PRIOR to Trikefest so that we can make arrangements for you and get you counted ahead of time.**
--NEW for 2011-- Tech inspection will be starting @ 11:00AM Saturday morning. Racing to begin immediately following completion of tech inspection on all machines that pre-registered Friday night.
When your number has been called ,the racer will have a set time to make it to the start line for heat race or be DQ'ed from that round.(Time will be discussed at Driver's meeting).
I'm open to comments and constructive criticism. I am the one in charge of this event for 2011 but it is most definitely going to be a TEAM effort to make it run smoothly. If there are issues and you are not a part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.
And As I said above, volunteers are definitely appreciated and will help this go as smooth as possible. Thanks.
