All machines must comply with the 2024 GCR’s

Self-Scrutineering will be used, please print, and have the filled in form ready PRIOR to arrival at the event to expediate sign in process. 

Random bikes will be chosen and scrutineered.

Go-Pro’s or brackets on helmets are not allowed as per MOMs 10.10.3

Spoke sleeves as shown in the photo below are not allowed as per MA Bulletin #2037

Random checks will be focusing on safety features on bikes such as broken levers, brakes at lever/pedal, throttle return and importantly as per MOMs 10.20.6 exposed handlebar ends must be plugged with a solid material or rubber cover and cross bar pads must be fitted.  Any non-compliance for any of these means no riding unless rectified and represented to scrutineering.  Most failures are handlebar plugs and cross bar pads.  If your bike is not fitted with the required safety features, it is not safe to ride for you or others and rules dictate you are not able to ride.

In line with current race sound limits (112dBA or less at 2m at full revs per MOMS 17.3).  If you have an older model 2 stroke, if you repack the muffler, it will be fine, but if you have an older model 4 stroke with original muffler it will be too loud.   Any bike found on the day to be too noisy may not race.  This will be enforced as this is the rules of the sport to try and reduce closing of motorcycle venues, riders from a previous round who failed the noise test and does so again this round will not be permitted to ride.  Experience shows that any aftermarket muffler needs repacking every year, and make sure the insert is in, that way you have much better chance of passing.

Please read above carefully to avoid disappointment when you are not permitted to race with the helmet or the bike. Bikes will be checked on the starting line.

Self-Scrutineering form is required to be filled out prior to arriving.
Self-Scrutineering form available here
