We are so official we even have a racer handbook.  Most of the details contained within the handbook document are found here and there all over this web site, but I’m going to include content embedded into this page on topics we get a lot of questions on.  If you don’t see what you looking for, click HERE to view the entire 2010 Racer Handbook.

The point system will work as follows:

Place:                 Sport:                 Expert/Pro:

1                              60                          120
2                              53                          106
3                              46                           92
4                              39                           78
5                              34                           68
6                              29                           58
7                              24                           48
8                              19                           38
9                               16                          32
10                             13                          26
all of the races you accumulate points in (even if you do all seven races) count towards your final standing!

Fees:

The entry fee is $12.00 per race. Cash, Check, or VISA/ MasterCard.

Kids Race Free (12 and Under on the kids Course)

Kids are welcome to race the beginner lap, they will need to pay regular race fees and have a race plate. The beginner class does not keep track of points for an overall winner.

Cash Payout and Prizing

We do a drawing every night for racers that paid and entry fee and have a race plate.  Kid for the FREE race are not eligible for the drawing.

The cash purse is set at $5,000 this year.  Of course, if we only get 20 racers a night we will not be paying out $5,000 at the end of the season, just thought that needed to be stated here on the web site.  We believe you’ll come in flocks and we shouldn’t have any trouble reaching our goal of $5,000.

General Info

Racers are required to purchase a hard number plate for the series. The price for the plate is $5. Racers must use the same plate for every race.
We are encouraging racers to return their plates at the completion of the season, as it will act as a raffle ticket for end of year grand prize drawing.

Race results will be posted as quickly as possible at www.midweekmtb.com

The race starts as a mass start as close to 6:30 as possible on the asphalt in front of Moonbeam Lodge. The group proceeds up a dirt service road to thin the ground and then funnel into single track to begin the climb

Kid’s Race

Every week there will be a kid’s race. The kid’s race is for children 12 and under. The kid’s race will start at 6:15 on race nights. The courses will try to be fun, yet challenging enough for the kids to feel like they’ve accomplished something. I will try to work in as much single-track as possible.

Kids that have advanced beyond this level are welcome to race in the open class. Kids racing in the beginner open class will need to pay the weekly race fee and also will need to have a number plate.

The beginner class is not a cumulative points race for the overall (translated, beginners do not race for cash prizes). This category is intended for the development of the sport; riders that have never raced, or in this instance, our youth racers.
