COSTS OF RACING.
• All events that are run by The Melbourne Minimoto Club Inc will be run in a professional manner with safety officers being in place at all events. The committee has devoted much of their valuable spare time and effort previous to race day, and will also spend much of their time on the day of racing to bring these events to a safe and professional level. So pricing has increased from last year to help pay for the setting up of the web sites, bank accounts, paper work and designing of The Club. No committee member will benefit financially in anyway. All time spent by committee members is donated to The Club.
• Some further fundraising will be held over the year to build a financially viable Club, whom with their effort and support of their members will build a minimoto series throughout Victoria and Australia.
• Events run by The Melbourne Minimoto Club Inc will be price structured as follows:
• Members: $30.00 per event with additional classes entered will be $10.00.
• Non-Members: $35.00 per event with additional classes entered will be $10.00.
RACE DAY ORGANISATION.
• A minimum of four (4) flag marshals will be stationed around the track during all racing, including practice.
• Flag marshals, pit marshals, start and finish line officials shall be drawn from volunteers on race day. The Clerk Of Course is responsible for allocation of duties and instruction of volunteers. Where possible volunteers will rotate during the course of their stint, and in all cases the club shall provide lunch and drinks for volunteers.
• To run a class separate to another there must be a minimum of five (5) riders, (except in basic cag class, where a minimum of three (3) riders must race).
