Questions and answers

How much is membership?

Membership $125 per rider. Membership sign up links are on the sign up page.

Do I need a transponder?

You need an activated MYLAPS transponder to be scored on the Big Track. Transponders on the small track are mandatory in 2026. Your bike needs visible numbers on 3 sides.

What time should I arrive on race day?

The riders meeting is at the trailer at 8:45 and is mandatory, with a random roll call. Practice starts at 9:00 am. Late check-in is open until the end of practice, otherwise you are not scored for the day.

Where can I read the rules?
