Rules and Regulations

This document has been created to allow current and new members to understand the basic rules, regulations and guidelines at any MiniGP event. These rules are an outline only and all racers/ members are explicitly advised that the MiniGP officials will have the final say on any situation that may arise at any event.

Classification or Riders, Classes, Points, and Series

A wide range of classes are offered by MiniGP to ensure adequate opportunities for most types of motorcycles. All of the classes, except for the MiniGP classes and spec classes, are to follow Superbike rules, which means that unlimited modifications to both the engine and chassis are allowed. The bike must only comply with the maximum allowable displacement and wheel size when applicable.

MiniGP or Third Party Inspection company can and will inspect at any time resulting in possible tear down if infractions are suspected. At the time of the inspection, the rider will be asked if there is anything deemed illegal on the motorcycle. If answered yes, the rider will be disqualified for that particular race and will receive no points. If answered no and the inspection reveals the motorcycle to be illegal, the rider will be disqualified from that race and will receive a 3 race suspension.

There are no exceptions to this procedure.
