S C M P ATV Mud Bog
Sumter County Motorsports Park reserves the right to make decisions as it sees fit to promote safety and fairness in the competition. All decisions by the judges are final.
ATV RULES
- Each ATV is limited to one class. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Participants may push their ATV if they become stuck.
- No person but the driver may touch the participating ATV during the race. If any other party touches the participating ATV during the course of the race, the rider will be immediately disqualified.
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.
If a driver commits a false start (leaving the gate early) this rider will be charged one ATV length, and the race will be restarted. If a rider commits a second false start, this rider will be disqualified.
DOT helmets, boots and gloves must be worn during any Mud Bog competition as well as long sleeve shirts and long pants. Motocross style boots are not required. No oilfield/construction style hard hats, or military helmets will be allowed. Boots mean waders, leather work boots, rubber knee boots, motocross boots, lace up boots, etc. This is intended to prevent sandals, flip flops, tennis shoes, and any other type of open toe shoe. Racers must wear foot protection, that will completely cover the foot and go over the ankle. Any glove that covers the entire hand to the wrist is acceptable.
All ATV’s entered in this event must have a means of attaching a tow rope to the ATV should it become disabled or stuck during the event.
Riders must be at least 16 to enter this event.
All entrants must sign a waiver in advance releasing Sumter County Motorsports Park, Sumter County Fair Association, Sumter County and all sponsors from liability.
A parent or guardian who will execute the waiver must accompany entrants less than 18 years of age.
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 an ATV 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 to race.
In the event that any participant is observed operating his machine in an unsafe or unsportsmanlike manner he may be disqualified and excluded from competition.
Entrants may enter any class that they are not disqualified from entering. In other words, a racer can race their class or in a higher class. You cannot race down a class.
Females may enter any class for which their machine qualifies.
IRS and SRA ATV’s will compete against each other. In this type of mud pit there are no ruts that will give and IRS ATV an advantage, so the classes will be based on engine size.
Sumter County Motorsports reserves the right for its staff to participate in the competition.
Starting line position is determined by random drawing. The first rider drawn for a heat will start the race from the left-hand lane. The next in the next position to the right. This process will be repeated for as many riders as are in the given heat.
There must be at least 3 entrants in any class to run.
All rules are subject to modification as needed, to promote safety and fairness in the competition.
