Trikefest Moto Cross will be held on Friday, June 24, 2016 at Haspin Acres in Laurel, IN.
Riders meeting at NOON, with racing to follow shortly.
The track will be open to practice all morning and hopefully Thursday, as well.
Provided it is still there, we will be using the same small TT-style track as in 2015.
Classes have been added. There are now 13 classes from which to choose.
This lineup is not a race order - merely a listing of all classes available for entry. We will make every attempt to ensure that you do not have to run back to back if you enter more than one class.
There is no entry fee. SIGN-UPS WILL CLOSE Thursday evening (June 23). Make sure you find me or ATC-Tim to sign up prior to that. Advanced on-line sign up may be done in this thread.
Rule change: Each class will only run once. This not only encourages running multiple classes, but should also help move the program more quickly.
The 2-stroke classes listed are based more on rider ability than the machines. The intention is to place you on the track with other riders of similar skill level, for competitive and fun racing. If you have a question as to what class you belong in, please don't be afraid to ask.
As always, we will need volunteers to flag on jumps and corners. Please help out by flagging a few races if you can. Nobody wants to be out there all day, so the more people, the better.
Number of laps will be discussed and determined at the riders meeting. Weather and the length of the track will be two of the determining factors.
