Promotional points will serve to advance a rider through the novice and amateur classes based on their race placements. Novice riders will be advanced to Amateur with 40 promotional points. Amateur riders will also be advanced to Expert with 70 promotional points. Riders earning the required amount of promotional points prior to or on the mid-way point of the season will be advanced. Riders earning the required promotional points after the mid-point in the season can elect to stay in the lower class (for the rest of the season) to earn championship points, or move up to the higher class.

If a rider does get advanced with promotional points at or before the halfway point, they will not carry any championship points forward to the next class. They will still be able to compete in the next class for the championship, but will start over with your points. It is in a riders best interest to pick the class that you will be best competitive in when you sign up. Any rider deemed to be “sand bagging” by the Race Director may be immediately moved to the next class.

Promotional Points and Championship Points are two separate entities.
