Pro Class: There is no pro class for this event. There will be no special prizes for pros either. Pros will race with the Senior I Experts. We will make the prizes go very deep in Senior I Experts to give the non-pros a good chance for a prize.

Changing Classes: Any Junior man can move up one class (to Senior I). Any other rider can move down one class (to a younger age group). Any rider that changes his class out of the standard age group and later changes back will lose all Super Series individual and team points, and start over from that point.

Riders under 12:If a racer under 12 years of age wishes to race in the regular race (not the Kid's Race), then he or she must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who must ride with them throughout the entire race. We do not wish to have young children out on the big race course without a responsible adult with them to ensure that they return safely.

Prizes for the Beginner First Time race will be awarded by random drawing. We will score the Beginner First Time Race normally (you will know how you placed in your category) - but to encourage first time racers (and discourage sandbaggers), we will award prizes with the random drawing. Our current plan is hold the random drawing for the Beginner First Time Racers at 12 Noon at the Grandstands.

As usual, the Expert winners will be awarded cash prizes. Beginner Advanced and Sport winners will receive bike merchandise. Remember that we award prizes quite deep in the larger categories.
