Entrants to constitute a class for points will be 3, and at low entrant numbers classes may be cancelled or combined by the event Referee. May include combinations of ATV and Solo entrants.

 

Where Junior classes are combined, slower classes may be started behind faster classes on the same track at the same time. Where the Referee has considered race length to minimise lapping riders.

 

A Junior riders age for the competition year is determined on the 1st January of that year.

A Junior rider must have a Coaches endorsement to participate in racing. Re-endorsement must be provided for each racing class step.

When a junior rider moves up a class (age or machine displacement) they may no longer race in the class they leave behind.

Series points earned will most likely not be able to be transferred across classes, but some compromise may be possible at the Series Co-ordinators discretion.

 

Raised Floorboards or foot rests, and shorter reach brake and clutch levers are the only modifications allowed in Limited junior classes. Otherwise “Limited” means standard, OEM, unmodified, SVIA standards Y-10+ATV or Y-12+ ATV. QuadridersSA Executive interpretation is final.

 

Racing numbers must be clearly visible front and rear of a race machine, black on white, with figure minimum height of 125mm and 19mm width of stroke. Each entrant should have clearly identifiable back number. New riders may be exempt numbers as approved by the Referee. Race numbers are not required for racing that uses a different system

Any machine considered unsafe or not a fair fit for a class of racing may be disallowed entry or run without points or reduced points by the Referee, Normally by reasonable process if only notified at an event, and ratified by the QuadridersSA Executive if an issue continues for ongoing events. Such persisting issues may see addition to these rules as determined by the QuadridersSA Executive.

 

All rule interpretations will be made primarily in the interests of safety and fairness and parity in racing. Any questions, ideas, disputes or protests? Please raise with your event Referee or QuadridersSA Executive for a final determination.
