Event Classes

ATV up to 600ccm

ATV above 600ccm

Notes:

Classes may be amalgamated on the day of event if there not enough pilots in each group.

ATVs under 600ccm may, at the CoC’s (Clerk of Course) discretion, participate in the higher class, but can’t participate in both classes.

Vehicles and Equipment

All entered vehicles are subject to scrutineering prior to the start of an event and must pass before being allowed to participate in the event.

Any scrutineering failures, recommendations or other points of note will be recorded by the club Chief Scrutineer so that any required actions or improvements can be reviewed for completeness the next time the vehicle is presented for scrutineering.

If an improvement or recommended change that impacts safety or eligibility has not been made prior to re-presenting the vehicle for scrutineering at the same or following events, then it will NOT be allowed to participate.

A decision on whether any vehicle submitted for scrutineering adequately meets the requirements or recommendations below will rest with the CoC based on the event scrutineer’s recommendation.

ATV class vehicles must not be modified on arrival to site such that any equipment is replaced or such that an MOT test would no longer be issued.

Neither tyre chains nor tyre studs are permitted in any class.

It is recommended that all participating vehicles should carry a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. (Note that the CoC will have access to a first aid kit and fire extinguisher from the club trailer).

Any recovery equipment to be used must be inspected by the CoC, or a competent delegate in charge of winching on the event, prior to its use in order to ensure it is adequate for the task and in a safe and acceptable condition.

Participant’s ATV MUST have suitable tow points capable of snatch recovery on the front and rear of the ATV.

Battery terminals MUST be covered and adequately insulated.

The battery MUST be secured such that it cannot break loose even in the event of a ATV roll over.

Event Scoring

At the start of a test, the ATV must be stationary with the leading edge of the vehicle lined up between the canes of the first gate. After checking that the driver is ready to start, a signal from the CoC or their delegate will allow the participant to enter a test section. Scoring begins as soon as the ATV moves or attempts to move after the start signal.

Scores are accumulated as follows:

1 point: For each quad bike repair.

2 points: For each cane/flag touch in a live test section by any part of the ATV or its occupants.

2 points: For each touch of the marking rope / strap between the gates (checkpoint).

5 points: For soliciting outside assistance, e.g. asking for directions.

5 points: may be awarded for digging if a vehicle has lost forward or backwards movement but is still attempting the course and in doing so is causing holes or larger obstacles by the spinning of tyres. A warning of “digging” will be shouted to instruct the driver to stop driving. If this instruction is not followed the penalty may be given without a second warning.

5 points: If any part of rider’s body touches the ground.

7 points: For each missed gate (checkpoint).

10 points: For disruptive and argumentative behavior or for driving the course in an unsafe or inappropriate manner.

“MAX +”: For failing to complete the sector.

“MAX +”: For crossing a site boundary (rope / strap) or virtual boundary of course.

“MAX +”: For requiring external assistance of any kind or for five unsuccessful attempts between any two gates.

“MAX +”: For failing to complete the course in certain time frame, to be decided and communicated to participants by CoC prior to event start.

Notes:

All canes on a live test section are considered live until struck, but each one only scores once in any one test.

A maximum of any two missed gates per section is permitted, on the 3rd missed gate this becomes a “Max+”.

The vehicle must put at least one tyre ‘footprint’ between the gates and continue onwards to avoid being penalized for ‘missed gate’. For the removal of doubt, driving up to the gate and putting part of the vehicle through a gate then reversing back to drive around the gate will be deemed a missed gate.

The vehicle must successfully pass through the last gate to finish the sector.

Event Rules

Judges of fact are noted as all signed on officials.

 “MAX +” is calculated as the total points you have accumulated on that section as far as the point of failure, plus 4 points for each remaining gate not driven.

A maximum of three attempts between two gates are permitted, for the removal of doubt this means that two roll backs are permitted between any two sequential gates. Failing to successfully pass the gate on the third attempt is deemed as a missed gate.

Crossing a boundary or virtual boundary by any part of the vehicle whilst riding on that section is deemed immediate failure of the section for that entrant.

A participating driver can not participate in two classes.

All entrants are required to obey the CoC and assist in marshalling, setting and dismantling of courses as reasonably requested during the event.

Penalty for failure to comply after one warning is exclusion from the event.

Gates will be minimum 145 cm wide in above 600 class and 130 cm in up to 600 class.

The responsibility for scoring and other event decisions lies with the CoC.

 

Any appeal or reasonable argument over the CoC’s decision can be escalated to the attending club steward for arbitration, note however that decisions that prove to be ambiguous with regard to a definitive conclusion will be made to align with the CoC’s recommendation.
