Race Regulations for Division 2 Riders
In Division 2 races at Pioneer Park, Prescott, Arizona, it’s crucial for riders to be aware of the race conduct rules. Riders who are lapped by the race leader or those who do not finish within the time limit may be removed from the race at the finish line to maintain the race schedule and flow. Furthermore, to ensure fairness and prevent overlap between race waves, no rider will be permitted to begin a new lap within 5 minutes before the subsequent race wave is scheduled to start. Adherence to these regulations helps ensure a well-organized and enjoyable racing experience for everyone at Pioneer Park.
Staging & Call-Ups at Pioneer Park
All racers at Pioneer Park will be staged before the race begins. The staging order is determined by the overall standings within each field for the current season. Specifically, for this race, staging will be based on the results from Race #1. This system ensures that riders who have performed well are positioned advantageously at the start. The top 10 riders in each field will be called up to the starting line by name, recognizing their achievements and giving them priority positioning.
It is the responsibility of each rider to know their staging position, to be present in the designated staging area at the assigned time, and to listen carefully for their name to be called. Riders who miss their call-up will, unfortunately, be placed behind all riders who were staged correctly. Any rider who is new to ACA events and has not competed before will be placed at random at the back of their respective race field. Understanding and following the staging and call-up procedures is essential for a fair start at Pioneer Park in Prescott, Arizona.
