**If you do not have permanent LACC Series numbers on your front number plate you will need to get a temporary one at sign-up. Make sure to cover with clear tape (laminates it) so the scoring crew can wipe off with towel. Each rider will be required to purchase a transponder which will carry the riders number and will be automatically entered into the computer when the rider passes through the scoring tent. The transponders will be the barcode sticker style and will need to be placed under each rider’s helmet visor. Riders who attempt to mount it elsewhere may not be scored correctly.**

  1. Every racer including the kids/women will need to purchase their transponder at sign-up for $10.00 (can be used year after year).
  2. Sticker labels with bold black numbers will be issued to whoever doesn’t have permanent numbers – this is mandatory and used for backup. Three stickers will be issued, one for the FRONT number plate and one for the LEFT and RIGHT side of the bike when the rider is sitting on it.

Permanent backgrounds/numbers are recommended but make sure the number is within the range listed & contact us to make sure another rider hasn’t already reserved it. Here are the suggested colors

(not required, just recommended):
PRO: Red Background / White Numbers                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Expert Class: Green Background / White Numbers                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 All Lites Classes: Black backgrounds / White numbers                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          All Big Bike Classes: White Background / Black Number

A race may be ended early if ground conditions are bad. For those riders who will need to stop for gas, a designated gas area will be marked. Riders will not be allowed to get gas outside this designated area.
  3. An Acadiana Racing official has the authority to stop or re-route the course for any reason (impassable mud bog, ambulance access, etc.). Riders not respecting this will be penalized, penalty to be determined by and LACC staff member.

  6. Jumping the start: A rider who false starts must stop, put both feet on the ground, and wait for the rest of the line to take off before leaving the start, you must be last off the start. If he/she does not stop, 5 minutes will be added to his/her total time of the event.
  7. Marking your starting position: Signs will be placed to mark each class’s starting line. All bikes can mark their spots as early as racing is done on Saturday, with the exception of a race going through the start area on Sunday morning. Stands should be placed just to the left of where your bike will be; make sure to leave room for all handlebars. This is certainly not required; riders may ride up to the start line just before the start and find an available starting position.
  8. Participants may practice on the race courses up to seven days prior to race weekend with land owners’ permission, excluding the rounds staged at public motocross tracks.
  9. Race Weekend: Riders will be allowed to practice on the motocross track and portion of the trail only on the Saturday before the race at Acadiana Racings normal practice fee. Unless you have land-owner permission stay off of courses that are staged on private land before and after race weekend. During the event spectators are encouraged to spread out & watch the race but must stay off the course at all times.
  10. He/she must ride 50% of the events to qualify for year-end awards, working a race does not count toward your 50%.
  11. Year-end ties will be first broken by if you worked a race. If both/all riders have worked a race ties will be broken by whichever rider has the highest quantity of 1st place finishes, then 2nd’s, and so on. If there is still a tie the rider who finished better at the last round will win the year-end award.
  12. A rider must complete one lap and pass through the scoring tent at least once to obtain year-end points – anything less is considered a DNF (no points toward year-end finish).
  13. Exhaust: Riders are not required to have spark arrestors; all events are on private land.
  14. Noise Control: There will be quiet hours at all LACC campgrounds from 9PM until 6AM. No bikes will be cranked or ridden, no loud and offending behavior, etc. during this time. No running bikes at or near the riders meeting.
  15. No pit racing at any time, speed through campground is limited to 1st gear or 10mph – whichever is slower. (see all pit riding rules in section 10)
  16. Acadiana Racing will make sure to provide a port-o-let at each event but make sure to bring your own toilet paper for backup.
  17. Protests must be made during the 10 minute protest period before trophies are given out.
  18. Riders who finish in the Top 15 overall can run their overall number the following year, regardless of which class they’re in. All others are first come first serve (numbers are wiped clean for each new year).
  19. Once the overall leader gets the checkered flag at the end of the race all other riders will have 30 minutes to complete their final lap. At the 30 minute mark the scoring will be shut down to prepare for the trophy presentation.
  20. Parents are not allowed to follow their child on the race course – we will assign this task to bonus-point workers who will help every child that falls. Bonus-point workers helping with this should stay out of the way of other kids coming through.
  21. All ages must wear a helmet at all times.
  22. A rider’s age on January 1st will determine his/her age for the year. A rider may voluntarily move up to the next higher age class.

Class Definitions:

The following class definitions and guidelines are intended to minimize “sandbagging”. All participants should be honest when choosing a class.

4. Course Markings, Flags, & Track Length

Course Markings
The courses will be marked using a combination of arrows stapled to trees and ribbon. Throughout the season different color arrows may be used (see below). Danger areas will be marked with an X; riders should slow down and proceed with caution. Dangers may include but are not limited to holes, rocks, roots, ruts, logs, road-crossings, fences, concrete, steep hills, drop-offs, creeks, man-made obstacles, odd jumps, etc. EVERY danger may not be marked; roots become exposed during the event, etc. Ride with caution throughout the entire race and not beyond your skill level. Incorrect trail turn-offs will be marked with a W (which means wrong way).

Continue on trail ahead
 Veer right
 Turn hard right

“Pre-turn” arrows are used to give a warning that a turn is coming up (typically used on high-speed fire roads or jeep trails).  Two arrows together are then placed at the actual turn.

The pre-turn arrows below will be placed where riders should start slowing down:

 

Double turn arrows will be placed at the actual turn (again, only used when turning off a high-speed section onto a hard-to-see small trail):

 

Various color arrows may be used, make sure to attend the riders meeting at each event:

 Example ribboned off section – riders caught passing through,
over, or under ribbon will be disqualified.

Arrows

Double Arrows:  Occasionally in open areas “double arrows” will be used (arrow on left and arrow on right side of course – both pointing straight ahead, usually stapled to stakes). Riders must stay between these arrows. Riders caught outside of the double arrows will be disqualified.

Single Arrows:  When there is a single arrow riders must stay within ten feet of the arrow.

Flags

Green Flag:  A green flag will be used to start the riders.

White Flag: (If used) A white flag used to signify one lap remaining.

Checkered Flag:  A black/white checkered flag used for the finish.  The checkered flag will be given to the lead rider in all races.

Black Flag:   A black flag will be used to stop a rider so an official can talk to the person, this doesn’t necessarily mean disqualification, but failure to stop can result in disqualification.

Track Length:
The track lengths will vary but will be around 5 miles long (including MX tracks). Careful consideration will be placed on picking the best venues in the state with a focus on providing several interesting spectator areas.

5. Rider Advancement

Note: If you feel you should advance to the next higher class but the advancement rules don’t force you to – please do so anyway, we encourage riders to challenge themselves.

  1. ANY rider with a year-end finish of 1st-5th Overall must race AA, (if you are 30 or above you can race an age base class) 6th-15th Overall must race in an “A” classified class, one of the top four classes (AA, A Open, Senior A 30+, or Senior A 40+)
  2. The top 1 year-end finisher in intermediate must move up to an expert class.
  3. The top 1 year-end finishers in the Novice class must move up the Intermediate class.
  4. The top 1 in every Beginner class must move up to a Novice class. (If you place in the top 3 for more than one year in the beginner class you must move up)
  5. The top 1 year-end finisher in any Senior B class must move up to the Senior A class.
  6. You can drop down a class only if you have raced less than 5 races in one season within two years.
  7. Rider advancement will be up to the discretion of the promotor in cases of low consistent class attendance throughout the year.

6. Scoring, Series Points, & Annual Banquet

Scoring:
An electronic scoring system (MotoTally) will be used so each rider will be required to purchase ($10) a transponder. Riders can pick their numbers or numbers will be assigned during sign-up. The quantity of laps and finishing order will be used to determine class results. Read section 2 above for more detailed information.

Series Points:

ONLY MEMBERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SERIES POINTS. 
Class points will be accumulated throughout the season & can be found on www.AcadianaRacing.com. The Overall Top Ten competitors and Top 5 in each class will be recognized and awards given at the year-end banquet. The following points system will be used for each class:

 

Place in Class Points Received Place Points Place Points Place Points
1 25 6 15 11 10 16 5
2 22 7 14 12 9 17 4
3 20 8 13 13 8 18 3
4 18 9 12 14 7 19 2
5 16 10 11 15 6 20 1
(riders will not get points toward year-end finish for placing 21st or higher but attendance will count toward the 5 races required for year-end trophy)

The following points system will be used for “Overall”:

Place Overall Points Received Place Points Place Points Place Points Place Points
1 50 10 36 19 27 28 18 37 9
2 47 11 35 20 26 29 17 38  8
3 45 12 34 21 25 30 16 39  7
4 43 13 33 22 24 31 15 40  6
5 41 14 32 23 23 32 14 41 5
6 40 15 31 24 22 33 13 42 4
7 39 16 30 25 21 34 12 43 3
8 38 17 29 26 20 35 11 44 2
9 37 18 28 27 19 36 10 45 1
(riders will not get points toward year-end finish for placing 46th or higher but attendance will count toward the 5 races required for year-end trophy)

* Year-end ties will be first broken by if you worked a race.  If both/all riders have worked a race ties will be broken by whichever rider has the highest quantity of 1st place finishes, then 2nd’s, and so on. If there is still a tie the rider who finished better at the last round will win the year-end award. *

**You must race at least 50% of races to qualify for year-end awards (working a race does not count toward your 50% of races)**

Work Points:
Main event participants will be given the option of working one of the ten rounds for bonus points. When you choose to work one day prior, it is your responsibility to contact Ryan and set up a day.

Overall:  60 points for race weekend and one day prior.

Class: 35 points for race weekend and one day prior.

Work requirements: Injured riders over the winter break can work the first round. You must show up race weekend 7am Saturday morning sharp until everything is picked up Sunday afternoon.  Workers must be punctual and show good work ethics to receive bonus points.  You must come prepared with machete or pruning shears, a bike to get around on, a hammer, etc.  EXCETPTION:  If you get injured or have an extreme emergency during the year,and have not worked yet you will be allowed to switch work weekends.

Annual Banquet:
An annual banquet will take place early (January) the following year.  Awards will be given out to recognize riders eligible for year-end awards (Bike riders must race at least 50% of events and have an LACC Membership to be eligible for year-end awards, working a race does not count toward your 50% of races). The top 3 overall riders will be asked to bring their race bikes prep’d for the next season. Location and ticket sales will be announced closer to the event.

7. Qty of Races / Drops

The LACC series will consist of 10-12 races per year. The rider’s worst 2 races will be dropped, so only 8-10 will count toward year-end awards. During future LACC seasons better venues may be added / existing venues taken off the schedule, but 10-12 races will always make up the series. This should allow for continuous improvement.

8. Trophies / Purse Money

Trophies:
Trophies will be given out at each event: top 3 in each class. Year-end trophies will also be given out at the annual banquet: a special overall champion trophy, #1 plates for class champions, top 5 in each class, top 10 overall, and other misc. awards/recognition.

Purse Money:
There will be a $500 purse available to Bike Main Event Top 3 Overal.

9. Penalties, Disqualification, & Conduct

The success of the LACC series depends on participants (& spectators) following the rules, showing sportsmanship, and conducting themselves in a professional manner. Cutting the course, fighting, foul language, and other unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated. Repeated or extreme cases may result in the banning of that person from participating in the LACC series (will be determined by Acadiana Racing official). Lower level classes will most likely be lapped by some Expert riders; please pay attention when these riders are passing and allow them to get by cleanly.

  1. Cutting the course – Depending on the situation rider will either be disqualified or deducted time from that event. If rider is disqualified (rider will not get points toward year-end finish). This includes double arrows, see section 4.
  2. Jumping the start: A rider who false starts must stop, put both feet on the ground, and wait for the rest of the line to take off before leaving the start, must be the last to leave the start area. If he/she does not stop, 5 minutes will be added to his/her total time of the event.
  3. Course re-route – An Acadiana Racing official has the authority to stop or reroute the course for any reason (impassable mud bog, ambulance access, etc.). Riders not respecting this will be disqualified.
  4. Confirming # at check – Some courses will include an observation check at the far end of the track to ensure riders are not cutting. It is the rider’s responsibility to yell his/her number to the official(s). If the rider does not slow down enough for the official to get his/her number the rider will not get credit for that lap.
  5. Practice- you must ride your correct practice- NO Exceptions. If you don’t ride the appropriate practice or multiple practices you will be flagged off, and not allowed to race on Sunday. You will be allowed to get your race fee back. PeeWees are the only two classes that will be allowed to have one parent per child ride with them during practice.
  6. No motorized vehicles on the course at anytime
    (this includes MX tracks, grass tracks, and trails.)- NO Exceptions. If caught, you won’t be allowed to ride anything motorized the rest of the weekend, again you will be allowed to get your race fee back.
  7. While Racing – If you are caught breaking through a ribbon and don’t turn around and go back to exactly where you broke it, a minimum 1 minute will be added to your total time. If a ribbon is down, but the arrows are still up and you can still visibly see the race trail, and you still take the wrong trail, a minimum 1 minute will be added to your total time. Even if, 50 racers do it and you are the only one caught.

10.  Pit Riding Rules

Because the pit riding has been getting out of control and unsafe, we ask that everyone follow the following rules.  Thanks for your cooperation.

Kids under the age of 16 can operate a pit vehicle if:

  1. They are wearing a helmet.
  2. They are going less than 5mph
  3. They are going somewhere with a purpose (examples concession stand, play riding area, friends campers, etc.) We do not want kids “joy” riding in the campground, and kids are also not allowed to go on the spectator trails.

** We will try and have a kid’s pit bike riding area at each event.  If we are running late on a Friday we may not be able to make one.  If we do not have one set up by Saturday morning parents are more than welcome to help us set one up.  Just ask Ryan what to do.**

*  ON SUNDAY NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 16 IS ALLOWED TO OPERATE A PIT VEHICLE.

*  You must be 16 years of age to operate a pit vehicle down any spectator trail or out of the camping area, unless you are going to your race or practice with full gear on.

*  Manufacture Regulations for all pit vehicles must be followed.  If the pit vehicle states “you must be 16 years of age to operate” you must be 16 years of age to operate it.  We do not want young kids operating big ATVs made for adults.

*  REMEMBER THERE IS A 5MPH SPEED LIMIT WITHIN THE CAMPGROUND FOR ALL MOTORIZED VEHICLES.

If anyone is not following the pit riding rules you will get one warning. If you are caught breaking the rules again 1 MINUTE will be added to your total race time.  If you are not racing the person you came with will get the penalty.

11.  Buddy Race

We offer a two person team race for Bikes and ATVs half way through the season just for fun when no points are on the line. If you participate in this race we will give you 5 class bonus points for the year.
