ATV Mud Pit & Mudda-Cross
Rules
 | Full Face DOT Helmets, boots and gloves must be worn during
any Competition as well as long sleeve shirts and long pants.
| All classes, except for the open class, will be
determined by the manufacturer’s label and the number of
cylinders in the ATV.
| High Lifter reserves the right to make rule changes or
decisions as it sees fit to promote fairness in the
competition. All decisions by High Lifter are final.
| All entrants must sign a waiver in advance releasing High
Lifter and sponsors from liability. A parent or guardian who
will execute the waiver must accompany entrants less than 18
years of age. No one under the age of 16 may participate.
| No late registrations will be accepted.
| If a rider registers for the wrong class that rider will be
moved to the appropriate class and given the opportunity to
race. If a race unit exceeds a class then it will be bumped to
the next highest class. If it doesn’t meet that class, it
will be bumped to the next highest class. In other words, it
will be allowed to run in the smallest class it qualifies for
– not automatically raised to the highest class. No refunds
will be given if the rider chooses not race.
| Entrants may enter any class that they are not disqualified
from entering. In other words, a racer can race in their class
or in a higher class. You cannot race down a class.
| Females may enter any class for which their machine
qualifies.
| Each ATV or RUV is limited to one class. The only exception
to this rule is that if an ATV is borrowed to run in the
woman’s class. If an ATV is borrowed for the woman’s
class, she will not be able to compete in any other class,
even if on another ATV.
| Riders must be at least 16 to enter High Lifter events.
| In the event that any participant is observed operating his
or her machine in an unsafe or unsportsmanlike manner they may
be disqualified and excluded from competition or banned from
future events.
| All ATVs and RUVs entered in an event must have a means of
attaching a tow rope to the ATV or RUV should it become
disabled or stuck during the event.
| Starting line position is determined by computer
randomization. The first rider generated for a heat will start
the race from the left-hand lane. The second in the next
position to the right. This process will be repeated for as
many riders as are in the given heat.
| If a rider commits a false start, (leaving the gate early)
the rider will receive a warning and the race will be
restarted. If a rider commits a second false start, this rider
will be disqualified and the race will be restarted.
| Boundaries of the mud bog will be clearly marked with flags,
stakes, and/or banners. Participants who partially leave the
course with any portion of their ATV will be disqualified.
| All bikes arriving to the starting line must be ready to
race without any work being done to the bike. Work may not be
performed on the bikes staged at the starting line.
| No person other than incidental contact by other racers may
touch the participating ATV/RUV during the race. If any other
party touches the participating ATV during the course of the
race, the rider will be immediately disqualified.
| Participants may push their ATV if they become stuck. There
is no one foot rule.
| All occupants of RUVs must stay in the RUV cockpit
throughout the race. If the RUV becomes stuck or disabled
neither the driver nor the passenger may get out to push for
safety reasons.
| Every racer assumes full responsibility and liability for
racing. Racing is a dangerous sport, even with all the safety
precautions that are taken.
| Participants should not consume any alcohol beverages, drugs
or any contraband on the day of the competitions. Any
participant found under the influence of alcohol or drugs may
be immediately disqualified from the competition.
| High Lifter reserves the right for its staff to participate
in the competition.
| There must be at least 6 entrants in any class to run.
| Skimming will NOT be allowed in any class. |
