ATV Mud Sling Rules
1.
Rider is responsible for hooking cable to his/her ATV. Rider accepts
responsibility for all damages caused while being pulled from the pit.
ATV must have suitable hook point for grab hook or loop on cable.
Hook point must be near axle level.
2. All participants must pull the cable in the Hill & Hole Pit.
3. Under 16 riders may run in all classes. Youth 8-11 up to 70cc, youth
12-15 up to 90cc. Unless they are Grandfathered in under the
SENATE BILL 189 .
(A
child who is age 8 on or before August 15, 2005 may operate larger machines than
those prescribed above, as long as there is evidence that the machine was
purchased by a parent or guardian prior to August 15, 2005.)
All riders under 18 must have parent’s signature on waiver/registration form.
4. Distance is measured from the front of the ATV tires. Once forward
progress stops, rider has 5 seconds to resume moving or run is over. Rider may
make one attempt to back up in the pit. That attempt should only be made if
rider is crossways in the pit. If rider does not stop when directed by official,
rider will risk being disqualified for that run.
5. If any part of the tire goes out of the pit side, you will be
disqualified for that run.
6. There is no one foot one hand rule in effect.
7. A rider may ride 2 different ATV's in the same class. If rider
pulls a race number back to back, they will be separated by 1 ATV toward the
end.
8. All riders must have their ATV in the staging area before their class
starts or risk disqualification.
9. Races will be double elimination. If you run first in your class, you
will run last on the second round. Riders have the right turn down their second
run. Their best run will be counted.
10. All participants for the Race class are required to wear helmets. If
a competitor signs up for this class and do not have a helmet or cannot borrow
one they will be disqualified from this class.
11. Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Any participant
displaying unacceptable behavior or arguing with the official will be
disqualified from the competition and may be removed from the event. Let’s make
a good example for our children to follow.
12. In case of tie, the other run will be the tie breaker or another run
will be made at the official’s decision.
13. Participants competing in the mud sling are not allowed to drink
alcoholic beverages prior to the competition. Participants must be of sound mind
and body when entering the competition as well as signing the release form.
Unwillingness to cooperate in this situation will lead to a disqualification.
14.
Official of the competition has the right to cancel a mud sling class if only a
few participants register to compete. The number of participants needed to
continue with a class competition is at the discrepancy of the officials; they
will decide whether to continue with a class competition after registration ends
and before the competitions begin. If a class is canceled, participants will be
refunded their registration fee.
15.
All late registrations will be put at the end of the class.
16. The official reserves the right to change the rules. These rule
changes will be due safety concerns or any unfairness that has been brought to
our attention.
17. There will be no refunds for disqualifications, NONE WHATSOEVER!!

other party touches the participating ATV during the course of the race, the
rider will be immediately disqualified.
*If a rider commits a false start, (leaving the gate early) this rider will be
disqualified. That is like a Red light in drag racing.
*DOT Helmets and boots must be worn during any Competition. Motocross style
boots are not required. No oilfield/construction hardhats or military helmets
will be allowed. Boots mean waders, leather work boots, rubber knee boots,
motocross boots, lace up boots, etc. over the ankles. This is intended to
prevent sandals, flip flops, tennis shoes and any other type of open toe shoe.
Rubber scubbba type boots are excluded also. Racers must wear foot protection
that will completely cover the foot and go over the ankle. Golves and Goggles
are recommended!
*All ATVs entered
in this event must have a means of attaching a tow rope to the ATV should it
become disabled or stuck during the event.
*All entrants must sign a waiver in advance releasing NEMS and sponsors from
liability. A parent or guardian who will execute the waiver must accompany
entrants less than 18 years of age.
*No late registrations will be accepted.
*If a rider registers for the wrong class that rider will be moved to the
appropriate class and given the opportunity to race. If an ATV exceeds a class
then it will be bumped to the next class.
*Entrants may enter any class that they are not disqualified from entering. In
other words, a racer can race in their class or in a higher class. You cannot
race down a class.
*Females may enter any class for which their machine qualifies.
*Starting line will be in the water, Finish Line will be at the poles at the end
of the track.
*Numbers must be displayed on front of four-wheeler at all times.
*Once your vehicle is staged you may not leave it. If you leave your vehicle for any reason during a race and hinder staging you will be disqualified. We will only ask once!
*Running order will be in the order that you register. If there is 10 in the
class you will run in this order:
1vs6 If there is an
odd number of entrants, the #1 entrant will get a bye run.
2vs7 If there is
another bye run to be made, the #2 entrant or who beat #2 will get that bye run.
3vs8
4vs9
5vs10
* These rules are mostly like ECMR rules. These are only in effect when
there is not a ECMR Points race @ North East.
We consider this an opportunity to practice for a trophy.
