RIDER ADVANCEMENT

Riders will receive advancement points for participation in all District 17 dirt track events. Advancement points will calculate a Rider Performance Value (RPV) to advance riders to 450 A classification. Advancement will be based on results earned within a single season. To be considered for advancement a rider must have a minimum of six points-paying finishes. Race results that have a DNF, DNS or zero advancement points are not to be used for purposes of calculating a rider’s advancement RPV. All B riders carrying an RPV of 12 or higher at year- end will be advanced to the A class. Riders winning a B-class District championship will automatically be advanced to the A class. RPV calculation- Combine all RPV points earned, divided by the number of B class entries.

Example– Rider earns 160 points earned from 12 B-class entries. 160 divided by 12+ 13.33 RPV (rider will be advanced)

 

 

If a rider believes that they are not capable of competing as a higher-class rider, they may appeal (once per district season) in writing to the Dirt Track Director.  Each case will be considered individually at a regular meeting of the district or regional organization. Riders will not be reclassified unless they are completely non-competitive in the class they are leaving and will not dominate the class they are returning to. A rider may return to a lower class only once.

A rider returning to competition after several years must request to be reverted as explained above and can't move back a class automatically or without district permission.

Dirt Track Director maintains final discretion on advancement for all riders.

 

Mini E-bikes will be run as exhibition classes at promoter discretion. They may be run with 50 Chain but will be scored separately.

Pro, Pro-AM or Exhibition classes are not part of AMA District 17 championship competition. As a result, these classes may be run at the sole discretion of the club or promoter. Professionally licensed riders are not allowed to enter Amateur classes. Pro licenses must be expired for a minimum of 1 year to be eligible for District 17 points/championships. All District 17 championship classes are either Youth or Amateur classes.

Worker Points are to be awarded based on the rider’s current point average per race for a maximum of 3 events (up to 2 race entries per event).

Quads will display numbers on top of rear fenders to aid in scoring.

Points will only be awarded to participants in the main event but will be scored based on the number of class participants per the chart below (last page of rule book).
