Youth & Adult Team Race Sunday Sept 28th Constitution Ridge Belpre Ohio
Unfortunately our points season has come to an end but before our crew hangs up their tools for the season, we are going to host one last fun racing event for 2014!
On Sunday Sept 28th @ Constitution Ridge outside of Belpre, OH we are going to have a Team Race for all YOUTH & ADULT Division Bike & Quad Racers. Sorry Peewee racers, unfortunately there is just not going to be enough time in 1 day to provide every division some decent racing time. For this event we have plans to layout an easy fun filled course that will give riders at any skill level at great opportunity to get some great seat time & have some fun racing with their team mates to see who is the fastest team in their class. Stay tuned for more track details to come soon…
For those of you that have never raced in a team race before, its the most fun you’ll ever have racing, that is if you have a fast partner. The concept is pretty simple, find yourself a team mate of similar skill level (no sandbagging) and you can either share a machine or ride your own. If you cant find a team mate we are offering an iron man class open to amateur racers only.
On raceday, come to the registration trailer and you will be put in your desired class under a team name of your choice. You will be given one special armband (don’t lose it) and both riders will have bar codes/transponders on your helmet for scoring. You will then need to decide who will start the race for your team, which this start will not be the traditional start that you are used to seeing. We will be doing a Le Mans style start, basically you will run to your machine for the start and bike riders your partner will have to be holding up your motorcycle from behind.
Once the race is off and running your team mate will be in a designated impound area awaiting your arrival for a switch off, which you can do as often as you like just as long as you are within 1 lap of your partner at the end of the race. Remember that special armband, the rider that is out on the track must have this armband around their left hand at all times. When you decide to switch riders in the impound area you must also switch this armband, if you come through scoring and you do not have your armband you will not be scored for that lap, so make sure you keep track of the armband at all times and most importantly do not lose it!! You will race for the duration that is designated for your division which is found below along with the classes & team event rules.
This facility does have easy off the road access with plenty of level parking, if you would like you can bring your campers out on Saturday and spend the weekend with us, as always there is no extra charge for camping.
Basic Rules in addition to our general race rules:
- Each team must have two riders, teams can use 1 or 2 machines and in the event of a break down the team can continue on one machine.
- Team racers must be on similar skill level, example you can be one class different but you must run the higher class, example a “B” & “C” rider can race “B” class together but they can’t run “C” class.
- Racers 30 or older can race in Vet 30+ no matter of amateur skill level, sorry no pro’s…
- Le-mans style start (run to your bike/quad) with 1 minute offset between rows.
- You must exchange riders inside the impound area only.
- You must exchange wristband to complete switch and you must finish the race within 1 lap of your partner or your last laps will be deleted to get you back to within the 1 lap range.
- Repairs and refueling must take place inside impound area only and only team members are permitted in impound area after the Adult race begins.
- If you are towed back into impound by track official/sweeper that lap doesn’t count, you can either repair your machine inside impound and continue racing or switch to your team mates machine.
- We are offering a Iron man class if you can’t find a team mate and the class is an open class to any amateur skill level, sorry no Pro’s. Although we do have a special Pro Ironman Challenge class which will start on the very last line.
- At the request of several racers we are offering a Father/Son class (any parent/child team configuration allowed) in our adult divisions – which youth racers with 80cc+ bikes and youth quad advanced racers are permitted to race in this division with their parents on adult sized machines. The adult track layout will be fairly easy just longer than the youth layouts in the AM.

Riders will also be required to have a transponder which is used to record your laps and laps times when you come through the finish area. Our transponders are the stick on type which go on the back side of your helmet. The transponders are a one time cost of $10.00, sorry we cant rent them out per race. It will be a one time purchase and as long as you don’t damage it, lose it or switch helmets. If you already have one of these stick on style transponders from any other race series, you are good to go as long as it passes the reader test at registration. Also there is no such thing as a “annual renewal/programming fee” with us!
Stick on style transponder
If you have a transponder that you have used throughout our points season you can use it as long as it passes read test.
