Intro
Whether you’re new to racing or a seasoned professional, Moto West Grand Prix (MWGP) is dedicated to providing safe and exciting action for all levels of skill. With a background in track day organization through Motoyard, Greg Nulman has answered Southern California’s call to bring motorcycle road racing back to the world famous Willow Springs International Raceway.  Motoyard hosted the Wild West Shootout, a one-off race event in 2012, with great success for the participants and sponsors alike. Now, the same group brings you a full 8-round series to get your racing fix all year long.
MWGP holds safety as a top priority and will have ALS Ambulance service track-side to attend to any injuries quickly.  With Antelope Valley Hospital a mere 15 minutes from the track, a full-service medical facility is close-by to attend to greater needs and ensure your overall safety.  Not only does Motoyard also offer exceptional track days to build your skill, but Moto West GP also offers racer schools and a “Run what ya brung” class which provides racing opportunities for those who aren’t quite ready for the full-time racing commitment. In addition, the track promotes safety to enjoy the full range of power and performance of motorcycles in a safer environment. There’s no speeding tickets, gravel in the turns, or worse, cliffs and trees to watch out for.  We know many motorcycle accidents happen due to distracted and/or drunk drivers not being able to control their automobiles. Escape the dangers of the street and canyon and show us what you really got!  You’ll never know how great you could be until you try; and we’ve got all the right tools to help you achieve your goals in  safe and exhilarating way.
A MWGP membership includes your race license, MWGP inaugural season shirt, and discounts on a variety of parts through our sponsor partners.  We strive for fair and fun racing through the organization of our rules and classes.
Motorcycle Road Racing has been a part of the American way since the advent of these awesome 2-wheeled machines.  Willow Springs has been host to some of the best racing in the country over the years dating all the way back to 1953 when it opened it’s doors.  Be a part of history and race on sacred ground where the likes of MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden and many more have competed on their way to greatness.

SECTION 1 – Novice, Expert, Advanced status & Points

1.  Riders will be ranked according to ability and will be assigned “Novice”, “Expert”, or “Advanced” status.
2.  Novice riders do not score points. Advanced are scored as experts. There must be a minimum of 6 bikes on the starting grid that receive the green flag for points to be scored for any race.  Formula 1 & Formula 2 must have a minimum of 10 bikes on the grid that receive the green flag.
3. Novice races will be run as double headers with a race Saturday and a race Sunday, which count as 2 separate races. Novices finishing 4 novice races without crashing or receiving any disciplinary action will be automatically promoted to expert status at the end of the fourth event. Novice riders not meeting the above criteria may apply for advancement to expert status by submitting a written request to MWGP, which may or may not be allowed pending review of the rider’s performance and finishes. Riders may appeal advancement if they feel they are not ready to compete on the expert level. MWGP will review each case and administer a decision promptly.
4.  A rider may apply to move down in status from expert to novice if they have not competed for more than one year or their pace is excessively slow. Riders may or may not be allowed to move down in status pending review of the rider’s performance and finishes by MWGP.
5.  Only riders completing a minimum of 75% of a sprint race and taking the checkered flag at the start/finish line under power on the race track or pit lane will be awarded a finish position. 
6.  Trophies for seasonal championships will be awarded for first, second and third. All trophies should be collected at the track; if an unclaimed trophy is requested after the event closes, the rider must pay for shipping. Trophies will remain available for one month following the season finale event.
7.  A Top Rookie Expert championship will be awarded to the expert with the most points in each class that competed in at least one race as a novice in the same season.
8.  There will be an Overall top ten championship awarded to the top ten experts.  Every rider’s top three points scoring events each weekend will automatically count toward the overall championship.
9. Bracket racing series points do count toward overall championship points.  Riders may choose the appropriate bracket and points travel with them regardless of the specific bracket they were earned in.  The top 3 in the entire bracket series will be awarded championships at the end of the year regardless of which bracket they competed in.

 

10.  Expert races are awarded points as follows:

MWGP EXPERT POINT SYSTEM
1st  = 15	4th  = 8	7th = 4	10th = 1
2nd = 12	5th = 6	8th = 3
3rd  = 10	6th = 5	9th   = 2

                                                                                               
11.  Advanced races are awarded points as follows:

MWGP ADVANCED POINT SYSTEM
1st  = 25	4th  = 13	7th = 6	10th = 2
2nd = 20	5th = 10	8th = 4
3rd  = 16	6th = 8	9th   = 3

 

 

 

 

SECTION 2 – Officials

1.  The “Race Director” designated by MWGP is in overall control of a race event. All other officials report to the race director in their specific areas of responsibility. A rider may seek a ruling, on any matter concerning the race and the application of MWGP rules, from the race director whose judgment will be final at that event. A rider wishing to appeal any decision made by the race director may use the procedures outlined in section 5.
2.  The “Starter” reports to the race director and is responsible for starting and finishing races and for displaying appropriate flags as specified in section 4.
3.  The “Grid Marshal(s)” report to the starter and are responsible for organizing pre-grid procedures and for ensuring that all riders are gridded according to the grid sheet.
4.  The “Technical Inspector(s)” reports to the race director and is responsible for ensuring that all machines are prepared properly as outlined in section 7 and that each rider’s protective equipment and clothing is in good order.
5.  The “Registrar/Scorer(s)” reports to the race director and is responsible for registration, timing, scoring and results. In races involving “race time” the registrar/scorer(s) will have charge of the official clock and will be the sole judge of time.
6.  A rider may protest any action by a race official by submitting a written statement to the race director, who will make a ruling on the scene. If the rider does not agree with the race director’s ruling, the rider may appeal the decision by following procedures listed in section 5.

 

 

 

 

 

SECTION 3 – Race Order of Operation & Contingency

The race director may, at any time, revoke the racing privileges of any racer, or have anyone related to a team removed or barred from further events for acting improperly at the discretion of the race director.
1.  All credits will be issued electronically. If a rider has not gone through, or cannot pass technical inspection, the rider will receive a full credit minus a $25 fee. If a rider has entered but does not participate in an individual practice or a race, a credit will be issued for the full amount minus a $25 fee. If a rider is disabled while participating in a MWGP event and cannot continue, the rider will receive a full credit for any races they were not able to participate in as a result. Any circumstance not listed above will result in a forfeit of fees.  Credits can be used for payment on anything made directly to MWGP. MWGP must be notified of a rider being disabled at that event.  MWGP will not be able to go back and verify items following the event. 
2.  All races except formula 1 & formula 2 will have the grid positions determined by your current points standings. If you have no points you will be gridded by chronological order of the time of your registration.  For round one you will be gridded by your best lap time during the Sunday morning practice session(s). Formula 1 & formula 2 will be gridded based on a single qualifying session on the same weekend of the event.  If a rider is entered into formula 1 or formula 2 and does not complete any qualifying laps, they may appeal the race director prior to grids being posted for their race to be allowed to start from the back of the grid.  The decision of the appeal is solely the race director’s discretion.  Qualifying for formula 1 or formula 2 will have a cut-off time of 110% of the fastest posted time during their respective qualifying session.
a) An entry is defined as a specific rider/motorcycle combination. If a qualifying session has been run to determine grid positions, any change in that rider/motorcycle combination will result in the entry being placed at the back of the starting grid for the corresponding race. This also applies to any rider found illegal for the qualifying session and has proven legality for the corresponding race. 
3.  There are two basic procedures used for starting a race: 1) A group or groups of machines may be separated on the grid by a multi row break and started simultaneously with one green flag. 2) A group or groups of machines will be separated into two or more waves (these waves may also contain multi row breaks). These waves will be started with each wave getting a separate green flag. Waves will have a grid marshal with a “wave” board separating them on the grid. The method of start used will be determined by the starter and race director. All riders will be notified at the riders’ meeting and on the grid sheets which races will contain wave starts.
4.  Racers will be given a first, second and third call for each class over the track loudspeaker system and/or FM station. The first call will be made at the beginning of the previous race with the second call at the halfway point of the previous race and the third and final call at the checkered flag of the previous race. If riders are not in the pre-grid area by the third call, the class may not run. Calls may be sped up or lengthened as determined necessary by the officials.
5.  Crew and family members are prohibited from access to the racing course for any purpose. A violation will result in a fine of no less than $100. Riders needing medical attention will be attended to by qualified, official medical personnel. Disabled motorcycles may only be retrieved by track officials and/or MWGP staff in an approved vehicle.
6.  If a sprint race is red flagged after half of the total distance has been run (half way being defined as the entire field on the lead lap has received the half way flags), officials may declare the race completed. In that case, riders shall be scored according to their position on the final lap that was completed by the entire field preceding the red flag. Any rider not running on course at the time of the red flag, as well as the rider(s) deemed by officials to have caused the red flag will be marked as “did not finish” (DNF) in the final results. In the event a race has been red flagged, the restarted event may be shortened at the discretion of the race director. 
7.  All events will run rain or shine unless the track is impassable or unsafe as determined by the race director. When an event is canceled by MWGP the following may happen:
a) Points and awards may be moved to another event/weekend and/or a 50% credit for unused entries will be issued from MWGP for any races which did not receive the green flag.
b) Contingency awards may or may not be moved at the discretion of the contingency sponsor.
8.  All travel on the racetrack and pit lane will be one-way, in one direction. Riders must not travel in the opposite direction on the race track unless instructed to do so by race officials. Violators will be fined, and/or penalized.
9.  Any rider who runs off the track must reenter the course safely and without attempting to cut the course unless instructed to do so by a race official or corner worker. If an advantage is gained, the rider will be subject to penalties of a stop and go penalty and/or loss of laps and/or disqualification and/or fines.
10.  If a crash occurs in a sprint race, the rider may not pick up the bike and must move out of the impact zone if possible.  The machine must be picked up by track officials or MWGP staff and proceed directly to pit lane for a technical inspection by a MWGP tech official prior to reentering the race. Only after this inspection has been accomplished, may the rider reenter the race if the checkered flag is not displayed. The machine in question must be re-teched in its entirety by a MWGP technical inspector prior to the machine’s next race.
11.  Weaving at any time to break the draft, prevent a pass, or reckless weaving for any purpose will be penalized by a fine and/or disqualification or suspension.
12.  Tear-offs are allowed in all series and must only be removed on straight-a-ways.
13.  Riders must enter the track at the pit exit/pit out. Riders must not use the pit in/pit entrance road to enter the track.
14.  Any competitor intending to pull off the track must signal their intentions and must never cut across the track in front of other riders.
15.  Competitors having a lap time of 1.2x or greater than a competitive lap time for their motorcycle or class (i.e. getting lapped in four or less laps) may, at the discretion of the officials, be removed from the track.
16.  Spinning the rear tire in the pit, on pit lane or anywhere on the race surface are not allowed. Offending riders may be penalized.
17.  Wheelies in the pit or paddock area are not allowed; this includes all riders and associates of the rider on race machines, pit bikes, etc. Offenders will be penalized and or fined. Wheelies done on track as exhibition as determined by a MWGP official may cause the offending rider to be penalized.
18.  It is the responsibility of each competitor to be aware of all information covered by the rulebook, mid-season updates, as well as information covered at any riders’ meeting. 
19.  Riders may not protest other riders for infractions listed in section 3, which are enforceable only at the observation and discretion of race officials.
20.  MWGP reserves the right to tear down any machine to check for class compliance as outlined in section 5.
21.  MWGP reserves the right to refuse participation in an event, or the issuing of a competition license to any person for whatever reason it deems appropriate.
22.  Protests regarding machine legality, grid position, or scoring discrepancies must be filed within 30 minutes of the posted grid or results for the protest to be accepted.  Grid sheets and results will be stamped with their posting time.
23.  In consideration of being allowed to enter and by being issued credentials to a MWGP event, the team owner, the rider, crewmembers, and other holders of event credentials (the “participant”) agrees as follows:
a) All rights to advertising, promotion, filming, recording, exhibition, and other exploitation’s of the event, the participants and machines entered in the event, and their activities at the site of the event before, during, and after the event and reasonably related to the event, are reserved to MWGP and its assigns. MWGP is open to discussion of promotional ideas for the series and/or its participants.
b) Participants hereby grant MWGP and its assigns full and unconditional permission to make still or motion pictures and any other type of audio or visual recordings of their and their machine’s participation in the event and their activities at the site of the event before, during, and after the event and reasonably related to the event. Also granted are the exclusive, worldwide and perpetual rights to use the same, together with their names, likeness, and date of, or relating to, their entered machine(s) for publicity, advertising, exhibition or exploitation, whether or not for profit, in print, audio, video, or other distribution by any and all means now known or hereafter developed.
c) Participants agree: Without the prior written consent of MWGP, they shall not take any still or motion pictures or make any audio or visual recording of the event, participants therein, or activities at the site of the event for the use other than personal, in-home use of the participant, or cause or permit others to do so or to use the same. That MWGP shall have exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, and universal use of any pictures or recordings made or used in violation of this paragraph. That MWGP shall be irreparably harmed by the making or use of such pictures or recordings in such fashion.
d) Participants agree that, without the prior written consent of MWGP, they shall not offer for sale, sell, give away, or otherwise distribute, at the site of the event, any tokens, any souvenir, and product, or thing of value, or permit others to do so, and that MWGP shall be irreparably harmed by a violation of this paragraph.
24.  Riders taking overt action to impede, harass or distract other riders on the track may, along with their team, be disqualified, fined or suspended for up to two years. If a rider’s actions result in the injury of another rider(s), the offending rider may be suspended for any time period up to and including for all time, at the discretion of MWGP. Any improper behavior should be reported to a MWGP official immediately.
25.  All riders must submit a fully completed technical verification form to pass tech. This is mandatory even if you are not competing for any contingencies.
26.  MWGP reserves the right to immediately impound and disassemble a machine at any time.
27.  The speed limit off of the racing surface at all facilities (unless posted lower by the track) is 10 miles per hour. This pertains to all vehicles. This covers the entire pit, paddock and access roads etc.

Contingency forms will only be accepted for races which have not yet been started and the competition machine must accompany the form as outlined above.

 

 

 

SECTION 4 – Starting & Flags

1. 5-Board Start Procedures
a) When the 5-board is displayed racers in the assembly area may leave pit road, take one warm-up lap and report directly to their assigned grid position.
b) When the 4-board is displayed racers still in the assembly area may still take one warm-up lap as described above.
c) When the 3-board is displayed any racers still in the assembly area or not already on a warm-up lap must report directly to their assigned grid positions, without taking a warm-up lap; taking a warm-up lap when the 3-board is displayed will cause the racer to forfeit their grid position and may be assessed a grid infraction penalty. The 3-board will be displayed when the first bike completing the warm-up lap has reached the last turn.
d) When the 2-board is displayed racers not already taking a warm-up lap must stay on pit road until after the race has started and after the starting field has passed the pit exit. A motorcycle already on the starting grid which stalls while the 2-board is displayed may be restarted and returned to the assigned grid position, as long as the 2-board continues to be displayed.
e) The 1-board will be displayed in the vertical position. When the 1-board is displayed any racers not in their assigned grid position may be penalized for a grid infraction. While the 1-board is displayed all motorcycles must be held at a dead stop in their assigned grid position with no wheels rolling.  The 1-board will be turned sideways and the starter may throw the green flag at any time. If a rider has a mechanical problem they must raise their hand and wave it vigorously to signal to both race control and their fellow racers.
f) The starter may shorten the start procedure at their discretion (taking into consideration the size of the field, the weather, and other factors). 
g) Penalties for jumping the start and grid infractions are described in section 5.
2.  Flags
It is the rider’s responsibility to know all flagging positions and suggest any changes in position during the riders’ meeting.
a) Green flag:  Starts the race. The riders may initiate movement when the flag itself begins to move as a result of the starter moving it.  Movement as a result of wind does not signify the start of the race.  Movement of the starter’s body does not signify the start of the race.
b) White/Red Cross: Ambulance on course, passing is allowed. All stations will display the Ambulance flag as the ambulance enters the course. As the ambulance travels around the course, the Ambulance flag will be displayed around the course, but will be waived by the corner station(s) preceding the ambulance.
c) Red flag: Stops the race immediately. When riders see a red flag they must not chop the throttle, but signal to riders behind them, move off of the race line, then slow their machine to a safe and controlled speed and proceed slowly to the pit area. Do not stop on the course unless it is impassable or obviously signaled to do so by course workers. The starter and all corner stations will display a red flag. This flag indicates racing has stopped and racers should proceed cautiously to pit road. Race control shall call for a red flag when necessary. Riders not proceeding cautiously will be penalized as outlined in section 5.
d) Black flag: Indicates a safety violation. The rider in question should as quickly and safely as possible, pull off of the racing surface and away from any impact zones to inspect their machine or report to the nearest corner station. Failure to respond may result in disqualification. In most cases, the offending rider’s number will be displayed on a board accompanying the black flag at start/finish.
e) Black flag with orange dot (aka Meatball flag): The rider must complete the current lap at speed and report immediately to the officials on pit lane. This flag may be used to indicate a jump start or other grid infraction as well as any other situation where the officials deem it necessary to have a rider brought in to inspect the rider’s machine or have a talk with the rider. In most cases, the offending rider’s number will be displayed on a board accompanying the meatball flag at start/finish.
f) Yellow flag: When held stationary-indicates a potentially dangerous situation near the track or a slower moving motorcycle. When waved vigorously-indicates a hazard or obstacle on the track, avoidance maneuvers may be necessary. Exercise extreme caution, slow your speed until past the situation. Passing for position under a waving yellow flag is not allowed and the offending rider will be assessed a penalty as outlined in section 5.
g) Yellow/red stripped flag: Indicates debris on the track surface. The corner worker will attempt to point to the debris on the track if possible.
h) Green/black striped flag: Indicates a slippery surface which may be caused by rain, oil, or other fluids on the track.
i) White & green crossed flags: Displayed at start/finish, indicates the halfway point of the race.
j) White flag: Displayed at start/finish, indicates one lap remaining in the race.
k) Checkered flag: Displayed at start/finish, indicates the end of the race or practice and riders should report back to the paddock after the cool-off lap.

 

 

SECTION 5 – Protests, Appeals, & Penalties

1.  Any rider who feels that an illegal machine has been entered in their class and wishes to protest, must submit a written statement to that effect to the tech inspector within thirty minutes after the results for their class has been posted. The posting time of each event will be listed on the final results for that race. The protest must specify the machine protested and the specific area of protest and must be signed and accompanied by the proper protest fee (in cash). The protest fees are as follows:

Violation	Penalty
Visual protest requiring no disassembly	$25
Some disassembly (seat, bodywork and gas tank removal)	$50
Removal of valve cover	$150
Removal of cylinder head	$300
Disassembly of the bottom end	$500

Should the protested machine prove to be illegal for the class in which it is being protested or if the rider refuses teardown (constituting illegality), the protest fee will be reimbursed to the rider making the protest and the rider found illegal will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined. Any other performance or class related illegality discovered in the process of inspection will uphold the original protest. If the protest is denied, the protest fee shall become the property of the rider protested and found legal. The protested rider has the option of withdrawal from the protested race in lieu of a fine, with no points, prizes or entry credited; however the rider may not enter the same class on that machine until legality has been proven to the satisfaction of MWGP.
2.  Protests shall be determined at the event at which they occur and the decision shall be at the discretion of the tech inspector and race director.
3.  If a rider wishes to appeal any decision made by a race official, a written appeal must be sent to MWGP within five days after the rider is notified of the decision. All appeals will be reviewed by MWGP for a ruling based on all information available to MWGP. The following ruling by MWGP will be deemed as final with no further appeals possible. Failure to submit an appeal in writing within five days after notification will result in the decision being upheld.
4.  When a protest is made, the burden of proof is with the protested rider and/or team. Failure to furnish the tech inspector with proof of convincing evidence/witnesses as to the legality of the machine will result in the automatic upholding of the protest.
5.  If a protest cannot be decided at the time of the event, the awards, points and prizes for that class may be postponed pursuant to the decision of MWGP.
6.  Protests can only be made by a rider in the same class and competing for the same points as the protested rider. Participants in the protest are limited to 1 designated representative of the protesting rider/team, no more than 2 representatives of the protested rider/team (i.e. the rider and a mechanic) and MWGP Officials. No other rider/team, mechanic, spectator etc. will be allowed input into or viewing of a tear-down. When a machine protest is upheld, the protested rider may not lodge a counter protest or other protest against any other area or person in his class at that event.
7.  Unsafe and unsportsmanlike riding techniques should be reported to a MWGP official. At the discretion of the race director, a rider found guilty of unsafe or unsportsmanlike riding techniques will be fined, and/or disqualified from the race, and/or suspended, and/or asked to forfeit their competition license.
8.  The purpose of the rules is to run an orderly, competitive and fair race, emphasizing safety of all involved. The rules are not intended to allow a racer to defeat another with the rulebook, rather than on the track. The rules are not intended to allow one racer to harass another. All protests must be made in writing and the person filing the protest must be prepared to identify themselves to the rider protested. Protests deemed capricious may be denied. In the event this rule, which states the overall purpose and principles of the MWGP rulebook, is interpreted to conflict with another rule or statement, this rule shall prevail in its literal sense. The final decision on all protests lies with the MWGP president.
9.  Any racer or team that is denied 4 protests in a single season will be deemed ineligible for filing further protests for the length of the current season.  Any racer or team that is denied 2 protests in a single event will be deemed ineligible for filing further protests during that event.
10.  Penalties are assessed by MWGP officials for any rulebook or procedural violations. Penalties may range as follows: 
a) Loss of event points, purse and available contingencies at the event. 
b) Loss of points for the season up to the time of infraction.
c) Suspension of MWGP competition license.
d) Permanent loss of MWGP competition license. 
e) Monetary fines. Contingency forms will not be processed until any and all fines are paid. Any points earned during the event in which the infraction occurs will be withheld until all fines are paid. Fines not paid at the event must be paid by cashier’s check or money order to MWGP and must be received within 5 business days of the event. If the fine is unpaid within the 5 day period, the rider will be disqualified from the race and/or event in relation to the fine. A rider will not be allowed to compete in any subsequent MWGP events until the fine has been paid. If a fine and suspension are both levied, the suspension will not be lifted until the date the fine is received and cleared by MWGP.
f) Jumping the start: A minimum of two MWGP officials must call a jumped start. In a sprint race the offending rider or team will be notified via a meatball flag at start/finish signifying they have been assessed a stop and go penalty. The meatball flag will be shown until the starter is satisfied the rider has had ample opportunity to see it. This is strictly at the discretion of the starter and is not subject to protest. Should the offending rider or team fail to comply with the stop and go penalty within two laps of being notified, the rider or team will be penalized one lap in the final official result. Definition of a jumped start: Any movement after the 1-board has been displayed and prior to the green flag being waived by the starter. 
g) Passing under a waving yellow: A MWGP official or corner worker must report a pass for position under a waving yellow. In a sprint race the offending rider will be penalized five positions in the final official result, and/or be assessed a fine, and/or disqualified. The no passing for position zone is defined as: From the location of the waved yellow flag until past the incident or incidents.
h) Grid infractions: (including but not limited to: assuming the wrong grid position, tire burnouts, etc.) At the discretion of the MWGP officials the offending rider may be assessed a stop and go penalty and/or fine.
i) Unsafe riding under red flag conditions will be assessed a fine, and/or disqualified. Unsafe riding may include but is not limited to wheelies, riding too fast, passing other riders, and/or weaving. 
j) Any rider causing a red flag due to not having either the oil drain or oil filter safety wired will be fined no less than $100 at the discretion of the race director and tech inspector. A second offense will result in suspension of the rider’s license for a minimum of 6 months.

SECTION 7 - Technical Inspection

 

Every race bike must be ready to race when it is brought to technical inspection.
All machines participating in MWGP events, or events hosted by MWGP affiliates, must prominently display the MWGP decal; maintaining the entirety of the decal visible and in good condition) on both sides of their machine. Points and awards may be withheld from any racer who fails to display the MWGP decals. MWGP decals will be available at registration.
1.  By participating in the event, the rider implies complete willingness to conform to MWGP rules. Passing tech inspection does not give a race bike immunity from protest; if the tech inspector does not notice an illegal modification or a failure to conform to MWGP requirements, the rider is still responsible for the race bike meeting MWGP requirements; be it their own or borrowed. The tech inspector must inspect and pass every machine before it will be allowed on the track. The tech inspector will reject any race bike that does not meet MWGP requirements. The tech inspector may, at any time, re-inspect any race bike and revoke approval if the machine no longer meets MWGP requirements. Any rider who takes their race bike onto the race course when the race bike does not meet MWGP requirements will be assessed a penalty for each infraction. The rider (or crew) is required to point out any problems or potential problems with their race bike.
2.  All race bikes must meet MWGP requirements. A race bike will not pass tech inspection and will not be marked with a tech sticker until the race bike is in complete compliance and the rider has completed and submitted their tech verification form. If any of the items to be inspected are hidden from view by bodywork, those sections of bodywork must be removed prior to arrival at technical inspection. The “lower” bodywork panel(s) must be removed prior to arrival at tech inspection and must accompany the race bike at tech inspection.

Glycol based antifreezes are prohibited.
d) All pre 2001 Suzuki GSX-Rs must have engine case guards installed around the right and left sides of the engine, extending beyond the frame, and are subject to the tech inspector’s approval. Case guards on the left side of 1995-97 Kawasaki ZX6Rs are suggested but not required. Yamaha FZR400, FZR600 and YZF600 machines must have an engine case guard on the right side of the engine. Heavy-duty aluminum replacement covers may be used in lieu of case guards. Stock case covers with extra metal welded on to make them thicker may also be used.   06/07 Yamaha R6s must be fitted with a gas tank guard of some sort on the sections that extend past the frame rail on either side..  The guard must be approved by tech inspection. 
e) Only one engine at a time may be used.
f) Only gasoline may be used as a race bike fuel. Nothing may be added to the gasoline except commercially available and approved octane boosters and lubricating oils. No oxygen or nitrogen bearing additives (i.e.: NOS) in any class that is not Formula-based. 
g) All race bikes must have an operating and marked engine kill switch on the handlebars. Dead man tethers are allowed and are suggested but must only be used in addition to the marked engine kill switch.
h) All race bikes must have a self-closing throttle and operating front and rear brakes.

j) Glass and plastic lenses must be taped completely. Clear tape may not be used.
k) Side and center stands must be removed from all race bikes.
l) A steering damper is mandatory on all race bikes and must be mounted in a safe and workman-like manner. The damper must not overly limit the amount of stock lock-to-lock handlebar travel.
m) The license plate and bracket(s) must be removed from all race bikes.  License plates must be removed from all machines.
n) Items are deemed safe only if secured in a visible, approved manner. Aircraft nuts, locknuts, Locktite or similar compound is not acceptable.
o) The seat or fender must extend toward the rear, past a line drawn vertically through the rear axle.
p) The rider, in position, must be fully visible from the side and top. Transparent material may not be used to circumvent this rule. No streamlining may be attached to the rider or helmet.
q) The machine must be clean and presentable at all times from arrival at the facility to departure.
r) Tires must be in good condition as determined by the tech inspector. In superstock, DOT tires with an “S” or higher speed rating must be used. Tires must be of the original tread pattern and may not be altered or grooved. No off road knobby tires may be used in any class. No recapped or retreaded tires may be used in any class. Glued, pre-cured retreads are not allowed.
s) Tire valve caps must be used and must be metal or hard plastic.
t) If speedometer and tach cables are installed, they must be safety wired.
u) Side covers that “snap-on” must be removed, wired, or bolted in place.
v) All race machines must use muffling devices that limit the sound to 110dBA. The noise level will be measured while the machine is on the track during practice sessions and racing events. A static test may be used off track to measure the noise level by holding the dB meter at 48 inches and at a 45 degree angle from the exhaust opening(s). The engine will be steady at 1/2 of redline during this test. If a machine measures over the limit with either test, it will not be allowed to participate in any further events until it has been brought under compliance. Riders may also be fined or otherwise penalized for non compliance.
w) Glass headlight covers must be removed. Plastic headlight covers may be taped over or removed.
x) Clutch and brake levers must have at least a 1/2” ball on the end.
y) Handlebar ends must have either end-plugs or be solid.  Stock bar-ends are acceptable. Handlebar ends may not be hollow or ground to a sharp edge. 
z) All machines are required to have a lower fairing capable of holding 5 quarts of liquid. Machines not equipped with a lower fairing from the manufacturer may have a custom piece fitted. Any machine which has a newer or OEM “race” model may use the newer models fairing to comply with this rule (i.e. the TL1000S may use the lowers from a TL1000R). All lowers must be OEM spec with any necessary holes filled in. Lowers must be attached in a manner approved by tech.
aa) All machines must have a sticker placed on the triple clamp reading “GP” or “STD” depending on the shift pattern used by your machine. These stickers will be available at tech.
bb) Brake pad retaining pins must be secured in a visible manner such as an R Clip or safety wire.  Silicone is acceptable but not preferred.
3.  All riders/teams must use an AMB Tranx 260 transponder for scoring purposes in all series. The transponder must be mounted vertically on the left front fork leg in a manner so that the numbers are readable. Any laps missed due to an improperly mounted transponder will NOT be reinstated. It is the rider’s responsibility to make sure their transponder is on the bike and functioning properly during practice, qualifying, and racing. If a transponder is verified to be mounted and is not functioning during a race, the rider will be allowed to choose between disqualification or a $50 fine. If the transponder is not on the machine or the rider cannot prove a verified working transponder was on the machine the choice is a $100 fine or disqualification. MWGP will have the scoring system running during practice and will print lap times to allow riders to verify their transponder is working. MWGP will have transponders for sale as well as for rent. Rental fees will be $60 for the event, any transponder not returned to MWGP at the event will result in a $100 fine. Any transponder not returned to the MWGP office within one week after the event and lost transponders will result in the rider/team being charged the going rate for a new transponder. This charge will not be refunded. Transponders cannot be used by more than one rider per any given weekend. 
4.  All machines must carry three sets of black numbers (only black), one on the front and one on each side. Numbers must be a minimum of 4” high, be spaced 1/2” apart and allow 1/2” of unobstructed number-plate/background border.  Outlining individual numbers with the background color is not legal. Number-plate must be a solid background behind all numbers. Side number-plate/background fields must be behind the rider on the machine’s tail section or on the lowers on the side of the machine. Numbers on the side must be visible when the rider is in position on the machine. If the side numbers are displayed on the lowers they must have a 1/8” minimum black line around the plate area outside of the required 1/2” of number-plate background. Single numbers on the top of the tail are allowed only if the rider has numbers on each side of the lower as well. Numbers must be the rider’s correct MWGP competition number and the only time a rider may change his competition number is when they are renewing their competition license. Machines not meeting number-plate requirements will not pass technical inspection and/or will not be scored when racing. If you are found to have illegible numbers you may not race again until they are correct. Front numbers on all motorcycles shall be placed centered on the front fairing/windscreen area of the machine and numbers must run perpendicular to the ground when the motorcycle is upright. There are no exceptions to this rule. 
a) Numbers will be assigned from 11 to 999. Numbers 1-10 will not be recognized in 2013 and will be assigned at the end of the year for the following season. A rider has 30 days after the expiration date to renew his license and maintain his same competition number.
b) Expert and Advanced riders must use white number-plates with black numbers. Novice riders must use yellow number-plates with black numbers, fluorescent yellow is preferable.

 

 

 

 

SECTION 8 – Competition Categories
Competition machines will be classified according to actual displacement, degree of modification and performance index. For the purpose of better interpreting the rules, the following definitions are listed:
            “Category” refers to the general type of motorcycle. There are three major categories; superstock, superbike and formula (grand prix).
            “Class” generally refers to a grouping based on engine size within a category.
            “Change” means the addition of aftermarket or “optional” parts or accessories designed to increase safety, performance, and reliability or reduce costs.
            “Altered” or “Modified” means cutting, grinding, milling, porting, boring, drilling, bending, welding, brazing or soldering other than normally accepted maintenance and repair procedures.
            “OEM” is defined as Original Equipment from the Manufacturer. 
            “OEM Type” is defined as aftermarket equipment manufactured to all original specifications in dimension and design.
            “Removed” is defined as unbolted – not cut off.
            “Performance Index” occurs when a motorcycle is demonstrably faster or slower than others in its displacement group, and may, at the discretion of MWGP, be assigned to another class. 
Canadian models, unless exactly the same as U.S. year/models, must run their superbike class.
All machines must conform to the tech inspection requirements of section 7.
1.  Superstock: There must be at least 1000 motorcycles available to riders, worldwide, per year and the machine must be generally available on the U.S. market with full EPA and DOT approval to qualify a machine for the superstock categories. The rider must provide proof of eligibility. Superstock machines are defined original motorcycle manufacturers’ equipment intended for use on public roads which are allowed to use an aftermarket or racing exhaust system instead of the stock exhaust system and other modifications as listed below. The decision regarding the legality of any machine entered in a superstock class is the responsibility of the tech inspector for the event in progress. The rider or crew of any machine is responsible for producing a service or owner’s manual with all part numbers, specifications and other material required to prove its legality. Legality will be determined based upon manufacturers’ specifications (or comparison of similar OEM parts) for the year, model and make of the machine entered.
Following is a list of the only items that should or may be done to a superstock machine:
            a) Grab rails, horns, reflectors and outer rear fender, and helmet locks may be removed.
            b) Turn signals, cruiser pegs, and luggage racks must be removed.
            c) Passenger foot pegs and brackets must be removed.

                        h) Exact replica replacement bodywork (this includes the tail section) may be used on machines equipped with bodywork from the factory. If the stock bodywork includes air-ducting tubes they may be removed. If they are utilized they must be stock or exact replica parts. Solo seat cowlings may be added when not supplied by OEM. If an aftermarket tail section is used that incorporates a solo seat cowling when one is not offered by the manufacturer, the tail section must conform to the shape and size of the stock bodywork that is provided by the manufacturer. The solo seat cowling portion of said bodywork must start at the position of the stock bodywork on the rear and rise to no more than 1.5 inches above the seat when measured from the top of the bodywork to the top of the seat on a stock motorcycle. The shape of the bodywork must conform to the shape of the seat (no huge rises in the middle etc.). A “superbike seat” is allowed (i.e. the seat is molded into the tail section). Tinted windscreens are allowed. Double bubble type windscreens are allowed.
                        i) Suspension: Rear shocks may be changed or modified but must remain the same type as original. Fork springs may be replaced with aftermarket springs, and fork oil may be changed. Stock internal parts of forks may be changed to alter damping characteristics. To allow external adjustment of fork springs, fork caps may be changed. Suzuki TL models are allowed to use aftermarket linkages that allow for mounting of standard style shock’s replacing the stock rotary valve setup.
                        j) DOT approved tires with an “S” or higher speed rating must be used and the original tread pattern cannot be grooved or modified. Non-DOT approved rain tires may be used with no modification of their original molded tread pattern. Slicks are allowed in all other classes.

k) Chain and/or sprockets may be changed. Chain size may be changed. Shaft drive machines may change gear ratios. The chain guard may be removed. Machines originally equipped with a drive belt may change to a chain drive system. A “shark guard” must be fitted to the swing arm in a manner that inhibits the rider’s extremities from being caught between the rear sprocket and chain.
l) Steel braided or Kevlar brake lines may be used. Brake pads may be changed. Rear rotors may be modified however must still remain functional. 
m) Carburetor jets and needles may be changed. Aftermarket jet kits may be used. Resizing of air metering holes in CV carburetor slides is allowed. Aftermarket carburetor heat shields are not allowed.
n) The OEM air box must be used and an OEM type filter must be properly installed (a K&N style direct replacement filter is an acceptable OEM type). The only modification allowed is the sealing of air box drains.
o) If the crankcase ventilation hose is relocated from the air box it must be routed to a catch can and the stock air box hole must be plugged. 
p) Spark plugs, clutch plates and clutch springs may be changed to aftermarket parts.
q) Filters may be changed. OEM type must be used. If the filter acts as part of the air box housing the replacement filter must not have a larger opening than stock.

s) 1mm over-bores are not allowed on any machine manufactured after 1995 (model year 1996 and up) unless offered by the manufacturer as a maintenance item. Aftermarket non-OEM valve seats are not allowed. Head and base gaskets may be replaced with aftermarket parts and need not be to stock spec. Aftermarket gaskets may be utilized on engine parts. Multi-angle or radius valve jobs are allowed as normal maintenance as long as machining is confined to the actual valve seat insert and does not extend into the port or combustion chamber. Valve seat to port blending is not allowed. Valves must meet OEM specifications. 
t) No bead blasting (or blasting using any other medium) is allowed on any internal engine part except gasket surfaces.
u) Machining of gasket surfaces of cylinder heads, cylinders, and engine cases is allowed. All internal and external engine parts must remain stock without modifications, no addition or removal of metal is allowed, except as mentioned in this section. No surface treatments are allowed. Engine must remain at stock displacement except as outlined in above. 
v) The transmission must use the stock OEM parts for that model. Shifter return or detent springs may be replaced with aftermarket springs.
w) 49-state model engine and ignition components may replace those same components on California-only model machines of same brand, year, and model.
x) Cooling fan assemblies may be disconnected and/or removed on water-cooled machines. Disconnection must be made at stock connectors. 
y) You may use captive wheel spacers and replace the speedometer drive with a spacer.
z) Aftermarket screw off type gas caps are allowed so long as they do not increase the orifice size compared to the stock cap.

SECTION 9 – Endurance Rules

1.  An endurance team consists of: a) registered team owner, b) team captain, c) team riders and d) team scorer. Endurance teams must complete a team registration form and submit it to MWGP. MWGP reserves the right to allow or disallow the team to compete in the series. Please choose an appropriate name that is neither derogatory nor demeaning to publish.
2.  All points scored by a team during an endurance season are owned by the registered team owner. The registered team owner can also be a rider, but does not have to be a rider.
3.  A team captain must be named by the team owner. The registered team owner can also be the team captain, but does not have to be the team captain. The team captain can also be a team rider, but does not have to be a team rider. The team captain must be present at all races entered by the team during the season. The team owner may replace the team captain once during the endurance season under normal circumstances. In the event of an emergency, the team owner may petition the MWGP president for special consideration which is solely at the discretion of the MWGP president.
4.  A team can have no more than six team riders during an endurance season. In the event a team consistently fields two entries, their roster will allow seven riders provided the same roster is shared by both teams.
5.  For each 24-hour endurance event, a team may add an additional two riders for a total of eight riders. The two additional riders will not constitute part of the team, except in the 24-hour event. During any endurance event a rider may take a normal shift of no more than two consecutive hours, after which he/she must remain off the machine for at least 30 consecutive minutes. In the event of a red flag, the downtime will not count against the rider’s two hour limit. If the red flag is in excess of 30 minutes the same rider may remount and continue for a two hour period. Any team exceeding the 2 hour limit will have any laps after the 2 hour mark removed from their results and may be penalized further as outlined in section 5. Once an endurance event has started, no additional riders will be allowed to sign up and join a team already contesting the event unless a rider’s co-rider is injured or otherwise incapacitated during the race. The team or rider may ask the race director for special permission for the rider to finish the race or allow another rider to sign the team’s entry form to replace the injured rider and complete the event. The emergency replacement rider for that event will not be counted as a member of the team’s roster. The race director will consider all factors in making their decision, including weather conditions, number of hours already ridden by the rider, number of hours remaining in the event and condition of the rider. The purpose of this rule is to prevent one rider from riding an entire endurance event or almost an entire endurance event purely for team’s competitive advantage (because the co-rider or co-riders are slower). The purpose of this rule is not to prevent a team with only two riders from finishing competitively if one of those two riders is legitimately injured or incapacitated. A team cannot consist of a single rider in races longer than two hours. If it becomes obvious during an event that a rider is only using an event longer than two hours for practice or has no co-rider, that rider will be black flagged, disqualified and removed from the event at the discretion of the race director or MWGP president.
6.  A team may use three motorcycle frames during an endurance season under normal circumstances. Frame numbers must be given on each entry form and must be verified at tech inspection. All frames used must have a valid V.I.N. stamped on them permanently.  If, during an endurance series event, a team destroys or damages beyond safe repair the three frames allowed under normal circumstances, the team owner may petition the MWGP president for special consideration allowing use of additional frames. Petition for special consideration must be accompanied by proof of crash destruction or damage and the frame in question must have been inspected by a MWGP tech official immediately following the crash which caused the damage or destruction. The decision to allow or not allow a team to use additional frames under special consideration lies solely with the MWGP president. When a team changes class, the overall points shall carry forward, but the class points shall not. A team will be allowed three frame numbers for the new class they are then running. Any “parts bike” in the pit area during an endurance event must not be a rolling chassis and cannot have number plates matching any entered team (fairing with number plates should be removed). A non-race prepared (i.e. not safety wired or stripped for racing) street machine may be kept in the paddock area.

 

7.  Endurance series classes will consist of:

• Heavyweight – Open & 750 Superbike, Open & 750 Superstock
• Mediumweight – 600 Superbike & 600 Superstock
• Lightweight – Lightweight Twins , 125cc/250cc GP bikes, Dinosaur
• Formula 40 – All riders 40+
• Formula 50 – All riders 50+
• Fun! – Heavyweight rules.  No points will be awarded and it will be scored as its own class designed for teams wanting to run for fun

8.  Endurance race bike technical and safety requirements are the same as those for sprint machines with the exceptions listed below. Since more track time is involved, compliance to these regulations is critical. However, it is the intention of MWGP to encourage innovation in endurance race bike serviceability and safety. Quick release systems will be allowed or not by MWGP based on overall system integrity under race conditions. Requests for approval of quick-release systems must be submitted in writing to MWGP with sketches or photographs as needed to clearly explain the system in question. Until MWGP has allowed a quick-change system, all machines must conform to the letter of the rules in section 7, especially in terms of safety wiring requirements. In the interest of costs, all tire changing stands shall be the normal lever type stands with no mechanical, air or hydraulic stands allowed – however, as noted above, MWGP does encourage innovation and may approve such a stand for use depending on cost for the teams and availability to ensure an excessive competitive advantage cannot be gained through outright cost.
9.  Endurance races will be conducted as outlined in section 3 of this rulebook.
10.  Lighting requirements:
a) Headlight lenses and bulbs may be removed in all classes except in races running into hours of darkness. Glass headlight lenses at races running into hours of darkness must be taped or covered by plastic covers during daylight hours. Headlights must be uncovered or un-taped and lights must be turned on at the team’s last pit stop before sunset. The event’s race director will instruct teams of the time window for mandatory light illumination at the riders’ meeting. Any team not conforming to the light rules will be instructed to bring their bike in to correct the problem, if the team can’t accomplish this or can’t be contacted then the bike will be brought in by the officials.
b) Any reasonable lighting system will be allowed in races running into hours of darkness, but must be approved by the tech inspector at the race in question. All lighting and wiring must be fitted in a safe and workmanlike manner. All headlights must be pointed in a forward direction. Cornering lights may be angled outward in a forward direction and pointing at no greater than a 45 degree angle from a line drawn down the center of the machine front to back.
c) Rear lighting is required in hours of darkness. A minimum of two Cyalume light sticks or other self-lighting products are acceptable as long as they are bright enough in the opinion of the tech inspector. Reflectors alone are not acceptable. Taillight lenses must be taped during hours of daylight. The tape may be removed at the last pit stop before sundown and must be replaced at the first pit stop after daybreak. Clear packing tape is recommended for taillights in endurance events running into darkness only.
d) Brake lights must be disconnected at all times.
11.  Number-plates must be the same as outlined in section 7. No lights will be allowed on the side of a machine that may be distracting to other riders. Side number-plates between the front and rear wheels may be illuminated providing such illumination is performed in a workmanlike manner and is approved by the tech inspector. 
12.  All entered race bikes must be on the pit lane 10 minutes prior to the start of the race. Unless otherwise stated in the riders meeting.
13.  Grid positions will be determined by fastest practice lap time for each team during the first event and current overall point standings in the endurance series thereafter. Any teams with no points will be gridded by chronological order of the time of the team’s registration and behind teams with points in the endurance series. 
14.  Any machines that crash during an endurance race must go directly to tech inspection for approval prior to reentering the race.  The rider may pick up the bike and continue only after ensuring their own safety and health is secure and inspecting the machine to ensure it is not leaking fluids and the machine is safe to return to tech inspection under its own power.  If the machine is not operable, the rider must immediately move out of the impact zone if possible.  If the machine cannot return under its own power, the machine must be picked up by track officials or MWGP staff and proceed directly to pit lane for a technical inspection by a MWGP tech official prior to reentering the race. Only after tech inspection has given the approval may the rider reenter the race if the checkered flag is not displayed. The machine in question must be re-teched in its entirety by a MWGP technical inspector prior to the machine’s next race. Disabled equipment will be picked up by track officials or MWGP staff in order of occurrence or in order of necessity as determined by race control. 
15.  Pit lane (hot pit) is restricted to teams actually involved in making a pit stop or signaling a rider on the track & photographers and journalists credentialed by MWGP. Pit stops may involve a maximum of four people not including the rider(s).  If a rider does anything to aid in the pit stop they count against the four people. In the event an independent tire company representative is inspecting tire wear on a machine during a pit stop, but is not otherwise involved in the pit stop, that independent tire company representative will not be counted against a team’s maximum of four people. Signals to riders may be given by only two crew members. Teams violating provisions of this rule will be subject to a penalty.
16.  All crew members over the wall must be wearing shoes, long trousers and a shirt (no tank tops, cropped shirts, or neoprene-type material allowed unless otherwise instructed during the riders meeting). This does not include the person(s) signaling the riders.  The crew members operating the fuel can and the fire extinguisher must be wearing all cotton clothing with long sleeves (fire retardant clothing is recommended and preferred).  They must be wearing fire retardant footwear or leather footwear.  The footwear should not be vented in any way.  Nomex-type fire resistant/proof gloves/sleeves are recommended.  
17.  No support vehicles will be allowed in the cold pit area. This includes trailers.  This area will be clearly marked by MWGP staff.
18.  Right of way during pit stops is to the rider entering the pits from the track. A racer leaving the pits must yield to racers on the track and those entering the pits.
19.  No machines may reenter the course once the checkered flag has been displayed.
20.  Each team must identify their pit area on the front and rear with their competition number affixed to an 8” x 10” number-plate to allow officials to quickly locate them. These team number plates must be white with black numbers as large as the plate will allow while remaining clearly legible.  Numbers cannot be affixed by tape to a pit wall, but must be hung on the team’s pit canopy. If a team has no canopy they must affix the team’s number-plate as directed by the race officials.
21.  Each team must have at least one 10-pound conventional fire extinguisher or two five-pound fire extinguishers in their pit at all time. In both cases they must be fully charged. Any team found without an operational fire extinguisher will be penalized and/or disqualified and/or stripped of their points/contingency/purse money. Anyone sharing a fire extinguisher with another team must notify race officials prior to any on-track activity to avoid being fined. If your fire extinguisher gets used during a race contact a race official for help in obtaining temporary replacement.
22.  All fuel must be stored behind pit wall, except during the refueling stop itself:
a) Engines must be off during refueling
b) Rider must be off machine completely during refueling
c) All refueling cans must be hand-held and designed to contain fuel overflow, with non-sparking (aluminum, brass or plastic) nozzles or fittings contacting the machine fuel tank. Towers and pressurized refueling rigs are not allowed
d) Exchanging machine gas tanks is not allowed as a refueling method
e) A fire extinguisher must be manned and aimed at the bike with the pin pulled during refueling
f) Machine must be on a stand while refueling.  The machine must be able to remain upright without any human intervention on the stand.
23.  No smoking, campfires or gas-fueled lanterns, stoves, etc will be allowed in the hot or cold pits. Please keep all of these items at your trailer/truck/etc away from the pit wall.
24.  Only routine service and minor crash damage repair will be allowed on the hot pit road. Major rebuilding or repair must be done behind pit wall in the cold pits. A team must notify race officials when moving their race bike behind the pit wall.
25.  A team may change engines, wheels, tires or other components after the official endurance clock begins counting race time. A team may only change one frame during a race. If a team chooses to enter a second frame they then totally forfeit anything earned with their first frame. All previous results/points/contingency will be stricken from the computer and cannot be retrieved. This holds true even if the first frame’s results would have been better than what the team accumulated on the second frame. A team must notify MWGP scoring personnel before entering the track on a new machine; failure to do so will result in a loss of laps and/or fines and/or disqualification. 
26.  A race bike must be able to pass technical inspection at any time during the race. Failure to pass technical inspection may result in lost laps, fines and/or disqualification from that event. Noise requirements outlined in section 7 must be conformed to at all times. Machines not meeting those requirements may be pulled off the track at any time during a race or practice session.
27.  Pit marshals will be on duty to enforce rules. Endurance pit stop rules are enforceable by pit marshals and violations must be observed by pit marshals. Pit stop violations cannot be protested by riders or teams and will be governed under section 5 protest procedures.
28.  A properly registered team with a machine that has passed technical inspection may enter a race at any point after the start, with laps counted from point of entry.
29.  It is strongly suggested that each team must provide its own scoring personnel however it is not mandatory.
30.  All team members, riders, scorers, crew members, guests, visitors, relatives, etc. are the responsibility of the team owner and punitive actions warranted by their behavior may be directed toward the team and team owner as well as the individual in question.
31.  All prizes, points and awards are the property of the team owner. The team owner may distribute prizes and awards won during the season at their discretion, but points, series standings or year-end awards which carry into the next season (i.e. free entry for class winners; show money, etc.) may not be sold, given or transferred to another team or party for the following season’s endurance events. New teams carrying another team’s name solely to claim awards must be prepared to prove consistent team ownership to the satisfaction of the MWGP president and will be allowed to claim awards solely at the discretion of the MWGP president.
32.  Points for each race will be calculated using all laps completed during the allotted time of the race. Receiving the checkered flag is not required to be awarded points. Each team will accumulate class and overall points from races in which they compete. These points will be computed on the basis of: 
a) Class points will equal the team’s class position points (from the chart below), added to team’s mileage bonus points.
b) Overall points will equal the team’s overall position points (from the chart below), added to a team’s mileage bonus points.
c) Mileage bonus points will be computed on the basis of laps completed x length of the track divided by 10. In the case of a 24 hour race, mileage bonus points will be calculated as above except they will be divided by 20.
d) Following is the Overall and Class position points chart:

1st = 75	9th = 37	17th = 24	25th = 16	33rd = 8
2nd = 65	10th = 34	18th = 23	26th = 15	34th = 7
3rd = 60	11th = 31	19th = 22	27th = 14	35th = 6
4th = 55	12th = 29	20th = 21	28th = 13	36th = 5
5th = 50	13th = 28	21st = 20	29th = 12	37th = 4
6th = 45	14th = 27	22nd = 19	30th = 11	38th = 3
7th = 43	15th = 26	23rd = 18	31st = 10	39th = 2
8th = 40	16th = 25	24th = 17	32nd = 9	40th = 1

33.  When a red flag is thrown during an endurance race:
a) All scoring will cease. When the red flag falls scoring will be backed up to the race leader’s last completed lap prior to the red flag, and all subsequent lap completion times will be dropped. 
b) The clock will not be stopped, but will run continuously until the endurance time has been reached or the race has been declared complete by the race director. 
c) The grid for the restart shall be based on the standings at the time of the red flag. A first, second and third call to the pre-grid shall be given and the 5-board starting procedure will be followed as outlined in section 4. On a restart, the 5-board will be given from pit lane. If a red flag situation is encountered towards the end of the race, the race will only be restarted if the race director approves a “clear track” with 30 minutes or more remaining on the event clock. 
d) You may not service, fuel, adjust or repair an endurance machine during a red flag. All work must cease on any machine in the pits at the time of the red flag. Any team who does not comply with this may be fined no less than $100 and/or may be docked laps and/or disqualified depending on the severity of the infraction. Machines on the track at the time of the red flag will proceed onto pit lane and directly park in their hot pit stall. When the rider comes in due to a red flag, only one crew member is allowed across pit lane with a stand. More than one crew member will result in fines. As soon as the bike is on the stand, the rider and crew member must immediately cross back to the cold side of the pit wall. After both rider and crew member who administered the stand for the bike are on the cold side of the pit wall, one crew member may cross to the hot pit side to cover the bike; if you need help ask an official. No one (other than a race official) may touch any machine during the red flag other than to assist the unloading of a crashed bike from the crash truck or at the direction of an official. Any bike brought in will be dropped at tech inspection. Tire reps are permitted to examine the tires of the machines during a red flag. When first call is given for the restart one crew member and the rider (you may switch riders) are allowed to cross the pit wall to remove the stand/start the bike. No other crew members are allowed to cross the pit wall until their rider is away from the pit stall. All machines that were running on the track at the time of the red flag must take the restart. You do not have to take the warm up lap. You do not have to take your grid spot; you can start from the back of the field or pit lane. If you do not take the start you will be penalized one lap. Work on the bikes may begin/resume when the first green flag has been given for the restart. Teams may prepare for this by having fuel cans, parts, tools etc., but cannot touch the machine until the flag is thrown. Any violation of this rule must be witnessed by an official for a penalty to be levied.  MWGP may use a video camera for surveillance of the pit area. The validity of the videotape will be determined by MWGP officials.
34.  A team’s last counted lap will be the last lap the team is able to complete during the time frame of the endurance event. (i.e.: last possible time to record in a 4-hour would be 3:59:59, in a 6-hour – 5:59:59 in a 24-hour- 23:59:59). When the checkered flag is displayed at start-finish the event is complete and no times are to be recorded.  
35.  The purpose of these rules is to run an orderly, competitive and fair endurance series emphasizing safety of all involved. The rules are not intended to allow one racer or team to defeat another with the rulebook rather than on the race track. All protests must be in writing and all protest filers must be prepared to be identified to the protested person or team. Protests deemed capricious or found to involve something that would not reasonably be expected to affect the actual race outcome or cause safety problems may be denied, or assessed with a fine, rather than a penalty. In the event this rule, which states the overall purpose and principles of the endurance series rules, is interpreted to conflict with another rule or statement of policy, this rule shall prevail in its literal sense. The final decision on all protests lies with the MWGP president.
