Mini Moto
This is the first ever Mini Moto event at the QGP. It will run as a timed exhibition class, not as a race. No points, formal winners or prizes will be awarded.
This event is for “expert level” riders, we require riders to hold a valid race license from a racing organization such as CCS, WERA, AMA, etc. In lieu if a race license, a rider with substantial asphalt motorcycle racing experience may provide a letter of recommendation regarding their skill from a recognized motorcycle or mini moto racing organization. (OMRL, UMRA, SFLMiniGP, NJMiniGP, CIMM, RMMM, etc).
Mini Moto Rules
DISCLAIMER
These Quincy Grand Prix rules are made available to any individual. Compliance with these rules is mandatory and is the responsibility of each Rider. Enforcement of these rules is the responsibility of designated QGP officials for each race.
MOTORCYCLE RACING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. EVERY COMPETITOR ASSUMES BY HIS/HER PARTICIPATION RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RISKS OF COMPETITION INCLUDING DAMAGE OR LOSS OF PROPERTY, INJURY, OR DEATH. EVERY COMPETITOR ASSUMES BY HIS/HER PARTICIPATION THE RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION TO ASSESS THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF FACILITIES AND INDIVIDUAL CONDITIONS AND MUST ASSUME ALL RISKS OF COMPETITION.
These QGP rules are written to ensure that all riders have the opportunity to compete in motorcycle roadracing as impartially and as safely as possible. It is not possible to anticipate every circumstance and cover it in this rulebook, therefore, common sense and a regard for fairness will be the fundamental principle in interpretation and enforcement of the rules by QGP officials. The individual QGP official responsible for the matter concerned will be empowered to carry out the enforcement of these regulations and shall have the final voice at the scene (See Chapter Five for rider protest and appeal procedures). Any discussion of or suggestions regarding QGP rules should be submitted in writing to QGP. Suggestions will be reviewed for consideration by the QGP officials and technical advisors for possible inclusion in the next Rulebook.

CHAPTER TWO: RACE OFFICIALS
1. Race Director: The QGP Race Director shall be in overall charge. The duties and responsibilities of the race director include but are not limited to, course preparation and safety; supervising corner workers and start/finish Marshall, rulings on protests, determining penalties for rule violations, restarting from warnings, lap penalties, and disqualification of riders and/or motorcycles who/which fail to meet the safety/class requirements.
CHAPTER THREE: GENERAL RULES & PROCEDURES
1. Rule creation and changes to existing rules will take place when there is a need in the organization due to either safety concerns, member/rider feedback, or in effort to build, create, and sustain competition. QGP asks that requests are submitted in writing for review by QGP officials. Rider feedback will be the main consideration in creation or modification to a rule.
2. The Race Director may at any time revoke the racing privileges of any rider for acting improperly, being abusive, fighting, disobeying instructions or doing anything else to disrupt orderly procedures or affecting overall race operations or event/race safety.
3. Crew and family members are prohibited from access to the racing course for any purpose; a violation will result in the disqualification of the Rider for that event. Habitual violations will result in a more severe punishment, which will be determined by the Race Director. If available, there will be a designated location for crew and family on the track to operate a pit board and communicate with the rider. There is no radio communication allowed with any rider on track during any race. Communication will be allowed during practice, however, there can be no communication device on the helmet during the races, no exceptions.
4. Riders needing medical attention will be attended to by qualified medical or official race personnel.
5. Disabled motorcycles may be retrieved ONLY with permission of the Starter and/or Race Director.
6. All events will run rain or shine unless the track is impassable or unsafe as determined by race officials.
7. Tear-offs are allowed in all series but must only be removed on straightaways.
8. Riders must always follow track direction.
9. The track should only entered at the designated pit exit (track entrance). When entering the racetrack, Riders must observe any blend line procedures as established by each facility. Riders must never use the pit entrance or any other access point to enter the track.
10. Any competitor intending to pull off the track must clearly signal their intentions by raising a hand and safely leaving the race line before changing pace to exit the track at the designated pit entrance (track exit). Riders exiting the track must never cut across the track in front of other riders.
11. Responsible riding in all areas of the facility including the pit, pit area, and track is expected of all riders. If a QGP official deems a rider's actions inappropriate (speeding, wheelies, etc), the first offense will result in a warning. Subsequent offences will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
12. It is the responsibility of each competitor to be aware of all information covered by the QGP Rulebook, as well as information covered at any riders meeting.
13. QGP reserves the right to refuse participation in an event to any person for whatever reason it deems appropriate.
14. By attending the QGP as a rider, pit crew, or spectator, you understand that you may be filmed and/or photographed at such events, and agree that QGP may use these images for any purpose.
15. The speed limit off of the racing surface at all facilities (unless posted lower by the track) is 5-miles-per-hour. This pertains to all vehicles! This covers the entire pit, paddock, access roads, etc.
16. Children under the age of 10 must be attended to at all time by a responsible adult. Pets must be on a leash at all times. Children under 14, unless a participant, and pets are prohibited from the hot-pit lane at all times.
17. A kart (yellow) or bike/car (red) AMB or MyLaps transponder is required for all competition with QGP. Transponders may be available to rent on a first come, first serve basis. If you do not have a transponder on your bike during qualifying/heat/main/endurance race, you will start in the back of the field. In the event of a transponder failure, very obvious race results may be used instead of official timing results at the discretion of the Race Director. If it is unclear what position you finished, preference will always go to the competitor with a transponder. In the event of a close race finish, official transponder results will always determine finishing positions.
18. Alcohol consumption is prohibited while participating in a race event, whether you are riding or working, until you are 100% done touching the bike or on track.
19. It is unlawful to physically abuse or threaten any party at the QGP event. Guilty parties will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Any Rider or related participant found guilty of abusing another rider/associate will be disqualified from the event, may receive a permanent suspension from the QGP event, and will be prosecuted to the extent of the law.
20. In the event that a series sponsor requires a decal to be run to qualify for contingency or purse, QGP reserves the right to apply said decal anywhere on a participant’s machine.
21. If running in cooperation with another sanctioning body or event, race procedures may be adapted to fit their format.
22. Riders may not protest other riders for infractions listed in Chapter Three, which are enforceable only at the observation and discretion of QGP officials.
CHAPTER FOUR: STARTING, RACING AND FLAGGING PROCEDURES
1. This is the first ever mini moto event at the QGP. It will run as a timed exhibition class, not as a race. No points, formal winners or prizes will be awarded.
2. QGP Saturday will have 2 short practices, 1 qualifier, and 1 feature. QGP Sunday will have 1 practice, 1 feature to be lined up by Saturday feature lap times.
3. Grid positions for qualifier and feature will be determined by the previous session lap times, with the faster riders starting first. We are expecting starts to be 3 riders’ across, sending row 1, waiting 2 seconds and sending row 2, in waved starts.
4. This event is for “expert level” riders, we require riders to hold a valid race license from a racing organization such as CCS, WERA, AMA, etc. In lieu if a race license, a rider with substantial asphalt motorcycle racing experience may provide a letter of recommendation regarding their skill from a recognized motorcycle or mini moto racing organization. (OMRL, UMRA, SFLMiniGP, NJMiniGP, CIMM, RMMM, etc).
5. Riders may be given a first, second and third call for each class over the track loudspeaker system. It should be noted that this is a courtesy, and all Riders are responsible for knowing the schedule at each event QGP is not responsible for Riders missing their race due to no announcement being made. When calls are made, they will most likely be announced using the the posted schedule. QGP will never start a race before the posted start time.
6. The starter and/or a QGP race official will instruct Riders in the assembly area to leave the pit area, and enter the racetrack. Competitors will take one warm-up lap and report directly to their assigned grid position. If a Rider is not on the track before the first rider of the group crosses the half-way point during their warm-up lap, he/she forfeits their warm-up lap and must report directly to the grid.
7. The use of flags will be discussed at the rider’s meeting for each event. The information regarding flags below only serves as a basic guideline, and is superseded by the content of each individual riders meeting. It is the rider’s responsibility to know the position of all flagging stations and suggest any changes in position. These suggestions need to be made before racing begins to be considered for that day.
8. The typical meaning and usage of each flag is as follows:
Green Flag: Waived at the start of the race. Any downward movement of the green flag indicates the start of the race. For multi-wave starts the green flag may be raised and lowered multiple times.
White and Green Flags Crossed: May (or may not) be shown at start finish line. Indicates completion of one-half race distance. Improper use or failure to show the white and green crossed flags by race officials is not grounds for a protest of race results.
White Flag: May (or may not) be shown at start finish line. The white flag indicates the final lap has begun. Improper use or failure to show the white flag by race officials is not grounds for a protest of race results.
Checkered Flag: Waved at the start finish line. The race is complete.
Yellow Flag: Standing (held stationary) indicates a hazard on or near the track. When waved, the yellow flag indicates that the hazard is just ahead, between the waving flag station and the next flag station. Passing between the waiving yellow flag and the hazard is not allowed and will result in penalties or disqualification.
Red Flag: Always waved. The race is stopped at once due to a serious hazard, incident or emergency situation. All Riders must exit the track at the designated pit-entrance (track exit) and report to hot-pit as soon as possible. Passing under a red flag is not allowed and will result in penalties or disqualification.
Black Flag: Indicates a mechanical or other problem with your equipment or machine. The black flag will be pointed or waived at one Rider. If you think a black flag might be waived at you, it is. Signal that you are exiting, get off the racing line, then reduce speed and stop OFF THE TRACK at the first safe position, preferably a corner station that can notify you of the nature of the equipment problem.
Black Flag with Orange Disc AKA Meatball Flag: Indicates a rider infraction. The meatball flag will be pointed or waived at one Rider. The Rider must report to the pit on the next lap. Failure to respond will result in penalties.
Yellow with Red Stripes: Debris or fluid on track surface, exercise caution. When pointed at the sky this flag indicates precipitation.
FLAG NOTE: Passing under a red flag or waving yellow flag will result in penalties or disqualification.
9. If a sprint race is red-flagged after half of the total distance has been completed (half distance being defined as the entire field has received the half way flags), the race will be declared completed. In that case, riders shall be scored according to their position on the last lap that was completed by the entire field preceding the red flag. Any rider(s) not running on course at the time of the red flag, as well as any rider(s) deemed by officials to have caused the red flag will not be scored in the final race results.
10. If a race is red-flagged before the entire field has completed one full lap the race will be restarted. In this case, all riders will assume their original positions on the grid for the restarted race.
11. If a race is red-flagged after the entire field has completed one full lap but before the entire field has completed half race distance the race will be restarted. In this case, all riders will report to the grid and assume a staggered single-file grid position in the same order as their position as of the last lap that was completed by the entire field preceding the red flag.
12. In the event of a restart, any rider(s) deemed by officials to have caused the red flag will not be allowed to enter the restarted race
13. In the event a race has been red flagged and restarted by race officials, the restarted event may be shortened at the discretion of the Race Director
14. In the event of a crash, the rider and machine may re-enter the race if the machine is safe to race. Flaggers or QGP officials may instruct the rider to exit the track (via a black flag) if the machine is deemed unfit to continue racing.
15. The race is considered complete when the checkered flag is waived, regardless of number of laps completed.
CHAPTER FIVE: PENALTIES, PROTESTS & APPEAL PROCEDURES
1. The purpose of these Rules is to run an orderly, competitive and fair race, emphasizing the safety of all involved. The Rules are not intended to allow a Rider to defeat another with the rulebook, rather than on the track. The rules are not intended to allow one Rider to harass another. Protests deemed capricious may be denied. In the event this rule, which states the overall purpose and principles of the QGP Rulebook somehow is interpreted to conflict with another rule or statement, this rule shall prevail in its literal sense.
2. Any bike blatantly or visibly not legal for the class may not be allowed to grid or race at Race Director’s discretion.
3. All protests must be made directly to the race director as soon as possible, or within 30 minutes of the completion of a race. If a protest cannot be decided at the time of the event, the awards, points and prizes for that class may be held pursuant to the decision of QGP officials. This includes but is not limited to protests regarding machine class compliance, grid position, scoring discrepancies, etc.
4. When a protest is made, the burden of proof is with the protested rider and/or team. Failure to furnish proof or convincing evidence/witnesses as to the legality of the machine will result in the automatic upholding of the protest.
5. Unsafe and unsportsmanlike riding techniques should be reported to a QGP official. At the discretion of the Race Director, a rider found guilty of unsafe or unsportsmanlike riding techniques will be punished at the discretion of the Race Director.
6. Riders taking action to impede, harass or distract other riders on the track may, along with their Team, be disqualified, fined or suspended. If a rider's actions as outlined above result in the injury of another rider or riders, the guilty rider may be suspended for any time period up to and including permanent suspension, at the discretion of QGP.
7. Any competitor intentionally annoying or harassing a QGP Official, infringing on the rights of other competitors or conducting themselves in any sort of unbecoming or unsportsmanlike manner, as determined by QGP officials, may be disqualified, or suspended.
8. Penalties are assessed by QGP Officials for any Rulebook or procedural infractions including but not limited to any of the following:
a. Jumping the start: Forward movement of a bike or rider that provides an advantage before the official start of the race. If a Rider jumps the start while the green flag is raised, the Rider may be assessed a penalty of five seconds or two positions added to the Rider’s final race finishing results at the discretion of the Race Director. If a Rider jumps the start before the green flag is raised, the Rider will be disqualified,
b. Passing under a waving yellow flag: A QGP Official or corner worker must report a pass for position under a waving yellow. For the first offense, a one lap penalty will be assessed. The no passing for position zone is defined as: from the location of the waved yellow flag until past the incident or incidents.
c. Grid Infractions: (including but not limited to: assuming the wrong grid position, etc.) At the discretion of the QGP Officials the offending rider may be assessed a stop and go, or lap penalty.
d. Weaving: Weaving at any time to break the draft or prevent a pass, or reckless weaving for any purpose, will be penalized by a disqualification or suspension.
e. Unsafe Riding: Unsafe riding in any situation, but especially under red flag conditions, will be assessed a penalty and/or may result in disqualification at the discretion of the Race Director. In an endurance race the offending team will be penalized one lap in the final official result per infraction, and/or disqualified. Unsafe riding may include but is not limited to wheelies, riding too fast, passing other riders under yellow/red flag conditions, and weaving.
f. Shortcuts: Any rider who runs off the track must re-enter the course safely and without attempting to cut the course unless instructed to do so by an official or corner worker. If an advantage is gained, a rider will be subject to penalties, at the discretion of the Race Director, including a stop and go penalty, loss of laps, loss of finishing positions and/or disqualification. Any shortcut found to be intentional will be subject to more severe penalties.
g. Behavior infractions: of the rider or his/her crew

6. Any rider, spectator, crew or team member, or worker must have a valid insurance wrist band to be on the hot grid
7. All riders must comply with the following protective equipment requirements:
a. All QGP riders must wear full-face road-specific helmets which have Snell M2015 (or newer) or ECE approval and must be in good condition, as determined by Tech Inspection. Helmets must not be manufactured more than 5 years prior to the date of the event.

It is recommended, but not required, that all competitors display the following information on his/her helmet: name, blood type, and any allergies to medications. It is also advisable to carry this information on a small card inside the leathers and add any other pertinent information regarding current medications and past or present medical conditions or problems.
11. QGP HAS NO OBLIGATION TO, provide any insurance coverage for participants at the Quincy Grand Prix event. It is the rider’s responsibility to supply their own primary medical insurance coverage.
12. Non-English-speaking riders must provide an interpreter.
CHAPTER SEVEN: TECHNICAL INSPECTION & GENERAL MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
1. By participating in the event, the rider implies complete willingness to conform to QGP rules, including these technical inspection requirements. Every machine must be ready to race when it is brought to technical inspection. Passing Technical Inspection does not give a machine immunity from protest. If the Technical Inspector does not notice an illegal modification or a failure to conform to QGP requirements, the rider is still responsible for the machine meeting QGP requirements; be it their own or borrowed. The Technical Inspector must inspect and pass every machine before it will be allowed on the track. The Technical Inspector will reject any machine that does not meet QGP bike safety and/or race class requirements. QGP officials and/or staff may re-inspect any machine, at any time, and revoke approval if the machine no longer meets QGP requirements. The Technical Inspector may at his discretion allow a “temporary fix” for a particular race event. That temporary fix must be resolved by the next race event. Any rider who knowingly takes his or her machine onto the track when the machine does not meet QGP requirements will be assessed a penalty for each infraction. The rider or his crew is required to point out any problems or potential problems with their machine. A rider or his crew will be allowed to make a safety-related fix at an event in order to participate at that event, provided the fix is not an illegal performance modification (at the discretion of the Technical Inspector for that event).
2. All rider equipment (helmet, race suit, gloves, boots and back protector) must also be brought to tech inspection when you bring your machine, and must meet the requirement of Chapter 6 of these rules.
3. All machines must meet the following QGP requirements. A machine will not pass Technical Inspection and will not be marked with a Tech Sticker until the machine is in complete compliance and seemingly legal for its class.
a. The machine must be clean and in generally good operational condition.
b. The following items must be safety wired, or secured in a manner approved by the Technical Inspector (RTV silicone may be acceptable, ask the Technical Inspector if you are not sure):
i. Oil Drain Plug
ii. Oil fill cap
iii. Radiator Caps
iv. Axle Nut(s)
v. Chain master clip link
vi. Any bolt/plug that retains any fluid
c. SAFETY WIRING TIPS: You should always use stainless steel aircraft type safety wire and proper safety wire pliers. Both of these items can be found through many motorcycle part suppliers. Make sure the wire is tight and pulls the bolt/nut in a clockwise (or tightening) direction.
d. A working fuel catch can or overflow reservoir is required to be securely fastened on all carbureted bikes.
e. A coolant catch can on the radiator overflow is required on all water-cooled machines without an OEM overflow reservoir.
f. Water cooled engines may use plain water, or water with Water Wetter cooling system rust and corrosion inhibitor at 0.5 ounces per quart of plain water concentration (or similar product, call QGP for verification). All antifreezes are strictly prohibited.
g. Only standard octane pump fuels are allowed. Oxygenated race fuels or additives bearing oxygen or nitrogen are not allowed. Nothing may be added to the gasoline except commercially available, approved octane boosters and lubricating oils.
h. All machines must have an operating and marked engine kill switch on the handlebars. Dead man tethers are allowed.
i. All machines must have a self-closing throttle
j. All machines must have fully operational front and rear brakes.
k. Kick-start levers (if originally fitted) are allowed to remain on the machine however they must be secure to keep them from swinging out.
l. Glass and plastic lenses must be removed or taped over (headlights, tail lights, turn signals, mirrors, etc).
m. License plates and license plate bracket(s) must be removed.
n. Accessory type items (cameras, etc) are deemed safe only if secured in a visible, approved manner (safety wire). Using only aircraft nuts, locknuts, Loctite or similar compound is not acceptable. Cameras must be mounted on the bike prior to tech inspection to be approved for use.
o. Tires must be in good condition as determined by the technical Inspector. All tires must be of street/race style as dictated by individual class rules. Knobby tires are not permitted in any class.
p. Clutch and Brake levers must have either at least a 1/2” ball on the end, or a rounded point deemed safe by The Technical Inspector.
q. Handlebar ends must have either: Plastic covered bark busters, or large plastic bar end sliders, and must be installed in such a manner to help avoid damage to the track surface and/or other riders in the event of a crash.
r. All bikes must have foot peg sliders that provide protection against gouging the track surface. The slider and foot peg must be durable enough to withstand a typical lowside crash. If folding foot pegs are used the slider must protect the track in both the “folded position” and “unfolded position”. Suggested protections methods are: plastic sliders, radiator tube, plastic pipe, etc
s. Axles or any other item that protrudes far enough to gouge the track surface must have a slider. This will be addressed on a case-by-case basis dependent on the machine and its design.
t. Each rider must display a number of his/her choosing on the front and both sides of his/her machine. The number can be chosen by each rider but if a conflict occurs the later rider to register for the event must change his/her number prior to the machine entering the track. In this case, adding an “X” to the end of the number will generally be considered sufficient. Number plates, or number display areas, must be of adequate size and proportion so that the number is easily distinguishable at speed by officials and other riders.
CHAPTER EIGHT: COMPETITION CLASSES
The term “OEM” or “Stock”, as used in the QGP rulebook, means unmodified parts specific to the make, model and year of the machine as delivered by the manufacturer, unless otherwise specified. Superseded parts may be used only if the manufacturer no longer produces the original part. Proof of compliance rests with the competitor entering the machine.
QGP reserves the right to tear down any machine to check for class compliance. If the machine is found to be in compliance with the class, QGP will be not responsible for any costs incurred. If the machine is found to be non-compliant, the Rider will be disqualified for the round and any cost incurred will be the responsibility of the Rider
