| Answer
- If you are under 18 years old you must be accompanied by a parent or Legal Guardian.
If you are a Legal Guardian you must provide paperwork to verify your information.
If your parent or legal guardian cannot attend you must provide a Notarized Note
from your parent or legal guardian giving you permission to participate in the
event. This note must put a person over the age of 18 in charge of you. Under
no circumstances can a minor rider without a person over the age of 18 compete,
even with parental permission. For an authorization form letter click

| Question
7) - Can I bring a Pit Vehicle? |
| Answer
- Yes, But we are always watching the Pit Vehicle Situation. Pit Vehicles are
to be used as transportation to and from the starting gate, or to and from Registration/Concessions.
Pit Vehicles are a privelege and not a right. We reserve the right to shut down
all pit vehicles at anytime. By using a pit vehicle you are subject to confiscation
of pit vehicle if you miss use the privelege. There is no riding on any trails
at any Reads Racing Facility. At Hangtime Mx there is the original track behind
the lower pit area. If you are caught on this track at any time your entire party
may be ejected from the park with no refund. Parents Pay Attention - This means
if your daughter/Son is caught on the trails or on the back track at Hangtime,
you can loose all of the money you have paid and be asked to leave because you
didn't supervise your child! You are responsible for the actions of all minors
you bring with you! Pit transportation is to be idle speed at all times!!! |

EMT/Paramedic examines you and (for example) bandages a cut, they do not bill
you. Keep in mind our EMT's are there for a reason. Please do not interfere if
your rider is injured the, EMT's are there to help, If there is a problem our
track personell will get you immediately. |
