Mid-South Hare Scrambles Riders:

I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Happy new year!

This weekend is Round 7 of the Winter Series at Maplesville. AL. This is a
triple sanction with MSHSS, SETRA, and SERA riders, the Southeast Cross
Country Shootout!

MAPLESVILLE SCHEDULE:

Saturday:
11:00 AM - ATV's
2:00 PM Youth

Sunday:
10:00 AM C classes + Junior MC, Masters, Golden Masters, Women
1:00 PM A & B classes


Here is some important information concerning the event:

Because of the 3 organizations, a little tweaking of the class structure is
necessary. Some classes are spread out; for example:
"Super Senior" becomes 3 classes; Super Senior A, B, and C
250A becomes 2 classes; Open A and 250 A
etc.

Some classes may have overlap (e.g SETRA's vet ages may be different than
our Vet age requirements).

Here's what you do if you are a Mid-South Points Rider: Sign up in the
class that fits your skill, age, AND your machine as close as possible to
your regular class. Examples:
VetA rides VetA
MSHSS Super Senior, A skill level, ride Super Senior A
MSHSS Super Senior, B skill level, ride Super Senior B
MSHSS 250A class rider on a 450cc, ride in Open A
etc.

Ride in the class that is
A) close to your "regular class" and
B) if necessary by either a skill division or a machine size division, ride
in the correct class that fits your skill level and engine size..

All the MSHSS classes that were "split" (i.e. 250A to Open A and 250A) will
be "put back together" based on their adjusted overall finish time for
points calculations. For example Maplesville's Open A and 250A class will
be combined based on the adjusted overall finish time to become MSHSS 250A
again for points calculations. Only riders in the proper "split" classes
will get recombined into the original MSHSS class.

The classes will be laid out clearly on the signup form but you need to be
aware which classes to signup in.

IF YOU ARE A MSHSS Points rider, be sure to check that box on the signup
form!

Trophies and race awards will be based on the actual finish places. POINTS
however are treated differently at this race. Here's some "carrots" to get
everyone to come ride this great event:

#1 Anyone who specifically identifies themselves as a SERA or SETRA rider at
signup is dropped from the race results as if they were not there. THEN
points are calculated. So if you were in Vet B and got 5th place, and 1st
through 4th were identified as SETRA or SERA riders, then you would earn 1st
place MSHSS points after those riders are removed.

#2 For the Motorcycle riders this event is split into 2 smaller races. C
classes, Junior, Super Senior and Masters Classes will ride the morning race
starting at 10AM on Sunday. The C classes will ride no more than 1:55
minutes max but will be stopped in time for the 1:00PM race to begin on
time. The A and B classes will race at 1:00 PM SHARP on Sunday.

ATVS: ATV's WILL RUN ON SATURDAY at 11:00 AM

YOUTH: Youth Junior A will start the Youth races as normal and will start
on SATURDAY at 2:00 PM. Mini A and Mini B will run at least 30 minutes at
Maplesville, possibly 35-40 depending on conditions.

This is a great event with terrain that holds up well no matter the weather.
It is one of the reasons we go south this time of year. The Perry Mountain
Motorcycle Club does an outstanding job of promoting this event. I do
recommend you come early for signup to avoid lines. The race will start on
time whether you get registered or not <smile>.
