  10. All riders must complete 2 laps minimum practice.
  11. All riders must ensure they have their own riding number on their bike, as issued by the competition secretary, before scrutineering. Any rider using the wrong number will not score points, unless lap scorers, competition secretary and results recorder have been notified in good time beforehand. You may even have your entry refused.
  12. All riders are required to carry a fire extinguisher in their vehicle at all times.
  13. Any rider that jumps the start or causes a false start will incur a 5 second penalty. The starters decision is final in this and no argument will be entered into.
