CLASS RULES

85cc Novice – It is a class designed for the Novice rider. This rider can jump some of the obstacles but not all. Their ability to enter and exit turns is slightly better than a Beginner’s ability but lags an Advanced rider.

The focus of this class is Rider Ability only. Machine size is not taken into consideration. FGSC representative(s) of the series shall police these classes. Class evaluations are to be by FGSC. representative(s) prior to race day. This evaluation time would be the time for clarification if needed. No exceptions or clarifications will be made race day. The best time for evaluations is the day before race day. FGSC. representative(s) reserve the right to move/switch riders to a more appropriate class if warranted only if in-person evaluations cannot be made or if the sign-up is incorrect.
