C Championship classes can be frozen with 2 races left in the series. When
a C rider is planning to freeze, they must come into
round 8 in 11 round series, round 9 in 11
round series or round 10 in 12 round series with 29 advancement points or
less, tell the office that if they go over they would like to freeze for the
last 2 events of that series. They may collect their trophies,
prizes and contingency for that race (or any race thereafter that they enter
as 29 points or less) but, once they go over 30 they are not officially but technically racing
the subsequent race(s) as a B rider frozen in the C class, therefore
final race placement & all trophies, prizes and contingency are forfeited
during a freeze. Championship points still accrue for the finishes earned
during the freeze. A frozen rider will be given championship points
for their placement, then moved to bottom of race results while
retaining championship points awarded before the move.
B Championship
classes can be frozen after 75% of the series is completed. When
a B rider is planning to freeze, they must come into round 7 in a 10
round series, 8 in 11
round series or round 9 in 12 round series with 49 points or less as a Youth
B or 89 points or less as a B, tell the office that if they go over they
would like to freeze for the last 3 events of that series. They may
collect their trophies, prizes and contingency for that race (or any race
thereafter that they enter as 49 Youth B or 89 B points or less) but, once
they go over 50 Youth B or 90 B they are not officially but technically racing the subsequent race(s) as an A rider frozen in the B class, therefore Race placement
& all trophies, prizes and contingency are forfeited during a freeze.
Championship points still accrue for the finishes earned during the freeze.
A frozen rider will be given championship points for their placement, then
moved to bottom of race results while retaining championship points
awarded before the move.
P - 10 - Drops - Every rider will
receive one drop per series - the lowest score or zero (non attendance)

Rider with most 1st's, then 2nd's if needed, 3rd's if needed - If still tie
- last moto score.
P - 12 -
You must complete Half of any Series and finish top 10 to be eligible to be
awarded at the Championship Awards Banquet for that season. If you have not
responded to the banquet invitation and have not requested your award by the
deadline posted per year, it will be assumed that you do not intend to
collect your award and therefore it will not be created.
P – 13 – Ironman - To be awarded "Ironman" for Spring or Fall
Series in your class at season's end, a rider must start and finish all of
the Heats, Mains, and Motos in that Series (even during C to B or B to A
advancements- please notify us to insure proper recognition) - Every event is counted, drops are not factored in to the
Ironman award.
P - 14 - Trophy Rules - Top 3 awarded - top 5 50/60 (4th & 5th metals)

Philosophy
What do racers want?
Racers want a racer friendly, clean facility and
pits and most importantly, a challenging yet safe track to ride and compete
on. Conditions change due to weather and care - racers need to see effort
and attention to the tracks, ensuring that the track owners and staff are
doing the best that they can for them. Racers want to know that the tracks
do care about racing, the riders and the organizations that visit.
Fair competition
Racers hope that the other riders on the line with
them are in the proper class, with the proper bike and riding at the proper
level. They hope that the referees are treating everyone equally. They hope
that the rules of the competition are obeyed and upheld and that the place
that they earned is how they are scored.
Safety
Racers hope that the on track staff is alert and
ready to be their eyes and ears to help guide them. They hope that if they
fall they are attended to and god forbid if they are injured they have
proper treatment, compassion and attention.
Be Part of Something
Racers want to be around like minded people. We all
come together because of one common interest - racing - or loving someone
who loves racing - Having the structure, place and people set for riders to
come together and become life long, close friends makes us all a part of one
big family. Think about how many friends and families you have come to know
and love over the years racing! Now, think of your life without them and
without racing..................
Personal Goals
Every rider at every level has a goal that they set
for themselves in racing. Weather it be mastering a particular jump or
corner, attending a certain # of races, building their endurance and
strength, winning a moto, or placing in a series. These goals are far better
for anyone than what they could be doing in this day and age - especially
kids and teens, how many kids (especially teens) actually spend a whole day
with their parents on the weekends? I can't say enough how much I have heard
parents say that they spend so much more time with their kids than other
parents they know that are not in racing.
As far as Turnout
Overall turnout is more spread out, there are far
more options now then ever before in New England. Friendly competition is
good; it will push us all to strive for the best. Every option is a little
different, just like people, I am confident that the right person will find
the right venue for them. Some are more competitive and some more laid back
and it's all good.
Injuries
Well, that's a tough one. But, it is par for the
course. I know all racers know this and say "I love it anyway" Anything we
do can be dangerous, I guess you feel most alive when you do what you love
and therefore it is worth the risk. The pins, the rods, the scars, the bumps
- they're at the track, all over in fact ( Dave has all of them too) - I
always joke "you're all crazy" and most of you agree! The bad ones are hard
for all of us, but we come together as a family to offer love and support,
it generally works out, and if not we must trust in god, he knows far better
than we.
Our goals
We hope to remember all of this or get out to
someone who will - this is what it is all about! I'm quite sure you can add
to this some of your positive thoughts on what it all means to you. I
wish every race industry company every success and I hope every racer finds
what they need. It's still one of the fastest growing sports right now, we
need to be focused on how to make it the best!!
