Quad Scrambles Rules
A General
1. A Quad Scrambles is a meet where the rider ability is the determining factor.
It is run over dirt roads, fire trails, woods and all types of terrain which
may be negotiated by the power of the Quad and rider.
2. The FTR Referee will contact the club due to send an assistant referee for the Quad Scrambles event preceding their sanctioned event at least 2 weeks before the event.
3. Provide an assistant referee for the Quad Scrambles event preceding their event. Assistant Referee must be an experienced rider.
4. Clubs shall allocate trophies to represent 30% of the class entries based upon previous number of riders at past events.
5. A list of Quad Scrambles classes and their requirements can be found at Chapter III. C.
6. All Quads will be limited to a maximum width of 50" as described in the current AMA rules.
7. Pee Wee class Quads will be no more than 50cc with an automatic clutch.
8. Any rider holding a Pre-Am license is required to ride the AA class.
9. Rider age will be confirmed for anyone moving to a specialty class where age is a requirement (Vet, Senior, Super Senior, Master Golden Girl, PeeWee and Minis) They will show proof of age at sign up on the first race they enter.
PeeWee and Mini riders must be within the minimum age requirement upon entering their first event. Their age for the season will be the age attained at their first event of the season.
The event flyer will have this warning, "Proof of age will be required."
10. No pit riding is allowed. Competition vehicles will use 1st gear to and from the starting area. (Chapter 3, B. 3.)
11. An A or B Hare Scrambles or Motocross rider will ride at least 'B' division.
B. Course
1. Cross must not cross any public highway
a. Cross over as in a figure eight
b. Contain any possible bottleneck situations such as a one plank bridge
c. Contain any long sections where passing is impossible
2. For the purpose of preventing course congestion a FTR Quad Scrambles shall be a minimum of three miles in length
3. A "Scrambles Course" is defined as a closed-loop trail through a woodland area, appropriately marked either the FTR Day-glow Red arrows to outline the path and indicate the direction to be followed by the competitors. The arrows outlining the course shall be in a sequence and spaced close enough so a competitor can visually locate one arrow to the next arrow. If this arrow spacing is not practical, the trail must be defined by other means (natural barriers, etc.) such that a rider cannot misinterpret where the trail is. All major turns must be preceded by 'down' arrows angled in the direction of the turn about 30' before the turn. The turn shall be adequately marked to instruct the competitors to ride inside or outside of the arrows. (Use of natural barriers such as canals, large trees, etc., or marking with ribbon tape is suggested to prevent course-cutting) A verification arrow shall be placed just after each turn. All sections of the trail which can cause unexpected hazards (like stumps or rocks) must be marked. Hazards are to be marked with red 'X', ribbon tape, sprayed with phosphorescent paint. To prevent riders from getting off the actual course. 'Wrong way' marker (Blue W) will be used at locations that could be confused for the actual course. Double arrows, one over the other and a set on each side of the trail, will be used to indicate an area between these arrows that must be ridden. Double arrows will be Day-glow Green. Competitors must ride the trail from arrow to arrow without passing any arrows, and ride to within 20' to either side of any single arrow. If a Motocross track is used in any part of the course, the MX portions of the track shall be considered 'continuously double arrowed' and riders must stay on the actual MX track surface. Any section of the trail marked by a pair of green arrows on both sides of the trail indicates the competitors must ride between the arrows and cannot ride outside of either arrow. Any time a rider leaves the trail, as defined above, that rider must return and enter the trail at the same point they left.
4. Specific dates and times must be announced in the flyer when riders may practice on the actual course.
5. It is the promoters responsibility to insure, as best as possible, the course cannot be cut.
C. Event Rules
1. The start must be a dead-engine start with riders on their machines and both hands in the air until the starter gives a signal for the race to begin.
PeeWee (0-50cc) races may use a running engine start with the rider on their machine
2. Only the following divisions may be run together at the same time with one minute between different starting groups. The races will be run at the times listed unless permission to change is approved by the Quad Series Committee prior to the publication of the flyer. Starting times may be adjusted to accommodate available daylight hours. Race time deviations will be published on the event flyer.
