Regulations for Youth Southern Centre Motocross Championship 2008
Update on Rule Changes for Youth Motocross
There have two major changes in the Youth motocross rules for 2008. These rules were proposed and passed at the Motorcycling Ireland 2007 AGM last November.
What follows is what these rule changes mean to the riders.
Youth Neckbraces:
Neckbraces will be mandatory for all youths racing in 2008. This will be strictly enforced from the first race on March 1 at Gormanston. Riders will not be allowed to race from that day on without a neckbrace. The make or type of neckbrace has not been specified but common sense should prevail and all riders should attempt to buy the best neckbrace they can afford.
Engine Testing:
A technical scrutineer for Youth Motocross has been appointed for 2008 and is currently undergoing training.
Cubic capacity scrutineering will take place at youth championship motocross (Irish & Southern Centre) events in 2008.
Scrutineering will consist of a non-invasive check of cubic capacity via the plug-hole and possible verification by tear-down.
Testing will be carried out so that it does not interfere with the day’s racing schedule.
Bikes to be tested will be randomly selected by the scrutineer and/or the clerk of the course on the day.
Any rider who refuses to comply with testing procedures will automatically be deemed guilty and penalised as if running oversize.
Penalty for running an oversize engine will be an automatic suspension of competition licence for one calendar year from the date of offence. All points accumulated in that day will also be lost.
Yours in Sport,
Michael Mc Ginn

Youth riders please note that correct backgrounds will be MANDATORY in the full 125 2 stroke and 144/250f classes. As both of these classes will be run together but scored seperately, there is a control and scrutineering requirement for both classes to be distinguished by eye. The 125 2 strokes must have Blue backgrounds and the 144/250f bikes must have Black backgrounds. The first championship racing is on Easter Saturday in Ferns and bikes that do not conform to these colours will not pass scrutiny
