Peewee
Sign up and practice for PW starts at 8:15. It is usually in the main scoring trailer parked alongside the track. Peewee sign up is usually on the track side of the trailer and regular sign up is opposite the track. There will be a table with blank sign up cards. Fill out a new card at your first event. After that, use the same card each time and just sign the back for each event. The cards are filed by alphabet but not alphabetical inside each letter file. Look through all the cards in the file that your last name begins with before you fill out a new one. Do not mix up the cards while you are shuffling through them. Keep the A’s in the A file and so on …
Make sure your card is completely filled out. This will help us get you a flier next year and you will then be able to receive email notifications from us.
Make sure someone can read it!
Make sure a parent or guardian signs the back for each race.
Entry fee is $10.00.
There are three classes to choose from:
Peewee A: This is the fastest class. This will be mostly 65cc bikes but we will allow bigger bikes when the rider is inexperienced or just moved up to the bigger size. We also allow an especially fast 50 rider.
Peewee B: This is an intermediate speed class. This will be mostly 50 race bikes and occasionally a 65cc bike where the rider is still learning the clutch bigger bike etc. KLX 110 and XR 70 will often fit in this class as well.
Peewee C: This is the slowest entry level. This will be the very smallest 50 bikes and the very youngest riders. NO training wheels allowed.
The numbering system will have all the Peewee A with a leading digit of 1 or single digit numbers. Peewee B will have a leading digit of 2. Peewee C will have a leading digit of 3. We will have temporary numbers (just contact paper and a marker) available.
The peewee races are meant for the truest beginner rider. Basic riding gear is a must but make sure they can safely move about and can find the brake in those big boots. There is no set age limit at the top or bottom but the riders will mostly be 5 to 10 years old. The courses are set up as easy as possible and with a five year old in mind. Ten year old racers may find the courses a little too easy and boring some of the time.
The first race is at 8:35 and lasts about 15 minutes. To keep things safe, Peewee A class runs by itself. A second race starts as soon as the track is cleared from the first race, about 9:00, and it combines the Peewee B and Peewee C. They also run about 15 minutes. The second race starts with Peewee B in one row and the Peewee C behind them but all go at the same time. Sometimes it will just be all in one row if there is room. If the attendance is very low (about 10 or less total) we may just run all the bikes at the same time. If we do this, we will just run them all about 20 minutes and start at 8:35 so be prepared.
It is okay to follow the racers and usually a pit bike works much better than a full size bike but either are okay. Having extra people out there helps keep the kids safe and gets them picked up fast when they fall. We also have spectators scattered around the entire track most of the time and always have people in a “hard spot” to make sure everyone makes it through.
Results will be posted on the scoring trailer about 9:50. There are no season points for the Peewees.
