COMPETITOR BULLETIN 08-2016

Due to safety concerns MotoAmerica and the American Motorcyclist Association has released Competitor Bulletin 08-2016 to reflect the following change to the Sporting Regulations

1.24 BEHAVIOR DURING PRACTICE AND RACE

c. Riders must not tour the track. Touring is defined as riding in a manner not compatible with general safety. This includes being on the racing line and not attempting to produce a fast lap time. A penalty may be imposed on any rider found to be touring. If marshals report that a rider is touring and this is collaborated by video or comparing consecutive sector times, then automatic penalties will apply as follows:

• During practice
• First offense: official warning
• Second offense: fastest qualifying session time disallowed
• Third offense and subsequent offenses: next fastest qualifying session times disallowed in sequence

• During race
• exclusion,
• ride-through,
• time penalty and/or fine, depending on the circumstances

• Persistent acts of touring will be deemed more serious and will be penalized accordingly.
