Overview:

Enduro's are longer distance off road racing events that are probably best described as competitive trail riding.

What you need in order to ride:

Your Own ATV / Quad.
Helmet, eye protection, gloves, long sleeves and pants, boots and body armour as per General Competition Rules are the minimum essential riding requirements.

Most experienced club members exceed minimum clothing requirements with some wearing full body armour and protective gear. Exceeding the minimum requirement is encouraged. More is always better.

QuadridersSA Enduro Riding Rules

Our rules are aimed at making entry easy, maximising participation, making it easiest for people to continue and stay in the race.

Junior Classes Offered (run together): J1 – 90 to 125cc, J2 – 200 -250cc, Junior Sidecar.
Senior Classes Offered (run together): Teams, Ironman, Sidecar, Solo.
A Riders Brief will be held 5-10 minutes before each Race (before Sighting Lap).
Typically Junior racing will approximate 1.5 hours and Senior racing will be approximately 3 hours, which may vary by 0.5 hour at any normal event.
Special events or events permitted by other promoters may have different rules and formats, in which case their Event Sup Regs will prevail.
A Race may be a single event or may include two stages separated by a break or over a 2 day format.
A Race may be a night race or include a night race stage.
Points system will be as per 35 point system, except for Teams see point 15.
At the Co-ordinators discretion and pre-announcement, points earned in other promoters events may be directly transferred into QuadridersSA series in order and recognised from 35 points down (per class).
Teams may include only two (2) entrants which may differ between rounds, and each team member is awarded equal points for that event, and both members must start at least one lap.
Ironman entrants must complete 50% of each race to qualify for place points. 10 DNF Points will be awarded where less than 50% completed.
Ironman classes are the premier classes and will receive the higher level awards and trophies.
Event positions will be recognised down to 3rd place (all classes inc each Team on the day).
Series Positions will be awarded ascending from 5th to 1st place for each category. The categories being only ATV, Sidecar and Solo (items 18 and 19 apply).
Series points for each Team Member will be whatever total points were earned by the team at each event, minus 1 point per each event (eg: a win in Teams earns each rider 35-1= 34 points).
DNF points apply (10 points and descending).
Other recognitions may be announced for top 4x4, Rookie, Husband and Wife Team, Lady, Young Lady, most improved Junior, Fastest Lap, etc.
For a Team to qualify for points at least one person must finish the race (but both entrants must start at least one lap per race, or per event).
To be eligible for Series points a rider must ‘enter’ and ‘start’ in at least 75% of Races in the Series (3 of 4, or 2 of 3 if there are only 3 events in the series).
Race Points will only contribute to Series points if there are 3 or more entrants in that class.
Entrants of classes with less than 3 entrants will earn a ‘count-back’ or ‘decider’ advantage in the case of tied series points.
Entrants may receive any assistance to stay in the race provided the assistance does not advance their position or cause an unfair racing advantage (ie: ok if the rider is slowed, loses time or suffers some loss of position/s). The effected lap time must be longer than the entrant (inc teams) longest lap by more than 1 minute or the time will be adjusted accordingly.
A broken down entrant may be safely recovered to the pits by another entrant, volunteer or official, where the race track is used it must be in the same direction and not hinder other competing entrants, any other return course must not cause a racing advantage.
A team mate may not resume racing from the check point until their team mate has been recovered to the pit area and changed over by machine or rider physical contact, unless the previous part lap is disregarded and the resumed lap is inclusive of that time.
Entrants, may swap or borrow any scrutineered machine to stay in the race.

The rider may or may not be forewarned.
A go slow area will be indicated before a time control check point, between the pits, including any changeover area and after the pits, the speed limit will be ‘first gear walking pace’ speeding infringements will attract a time penalty sufficient to ensure a disadvantage which will be immediately added to the competitors time, or the rider will be sufficiently held on a consecutive lap.
