Desert Races: Will bypass the infield on the FIRST lap, and enter on their remaining laps.
Short Course Race: Will bypass the infield section on all three laps.
Youth 570/1000 Races: Will enter the infield on all laps, including immediately off the start line.
Youth 170/250 Races: Your course IS the infield section.
Infield Mileage: The infield mileage is approximately 0.75 miles.
IMPORTANT DESERT RACERS – In order to keep the race course mile markers the same for both the Short Course and Desert courses, the mile markers on the GPS files and on the race course do not include the mileage on the infield. The infield mileage is approximately 0.75 miles. Please plan your pit and calculations accordingly.
IMPORTANT SHORT COURSE RACERS – Again, you will bypass the infield on all 3 laps. Because we cut out the back section, you will rejoin the desert course at approximately YOUR race mile 21.38. Please note, you will not have a physical “RM22” marking on the race course. You will see the desert course marking in that final mile.
Grand Prix Finish = The checkered flag is waved for the overall leader when they have completed the designated number of laps or the designated time has expired. No new laps can be started once the leader has completed the full distance or the allotted time has expired. Racers must complete 75% of the total laps required to be considered a finisher.
Youth 170/250: Because we will have three rows to start the race, using a 9am start as an example:
Row 1 starts at 9:00:00
Row 2 starts at 9:00:30
Row 3 starts at 9:01:00
Checkered flag falls at 9:26:00 for EVERYONE. However, the kids in group 1 & 2 may get an extra lap that doesn’t count. Their race stops at 9:25:00 and 9:25:30.
