Track Rules & Regulations
Track Rules and Regulations.
Accessing the Track:
You must obtain a wristband from our operatives and only ride at your designated time. Enter the track in a safe manner only via the track entrance, one bike at a time; always obey signals from a marshal. The marshal may check your wristband before entry.
Exiting the track:
Only leave the track at the exit point in a safe manner.
Stopping on the circuit:
Only stop in case of mechanical breakdown or you are instructed to do so (because of signal from a marshal or light system). If you are forced to stop on the circuit or run-off area, park as safely as possible, far from the track and, if possible, behind a barrier.
If you are injured, stay with your bike and wait for help. Try to move to a safe position where you can be seen. Try to make yourself safe and comfortable. If you see a rider who is in distress, stop safely and report it to a marshal.
Warning signals:
Moto101 uses marshals and a light system to warn riders of dangers and other events. References to flag colours mean either flags used by marshals or equivalent coloured light warnings.
Flag Signal Meanings:
Yellow: Great danger, prepare to stop. Ride with extreme caution. Do not overtake.
Red: All riders must stop. Come to a complete (and safe) stop and await instructions. Do not pass a red flag or light unless instructed to do so. If you are asked to move, do so slowly and cautiously. A red flag usually signals the end of the session.
A red flag may also be accompanied by a siren. If you hear the siren, you must assume that a red flag is in operation and act accordingly.
Chequered: finish, end of session. All riders must exit the track safely and return to the paddock.
Clothing and PPE:
All riders must wear as a minimum:
- Goggles (not sunglasses)
- Helmet
- Boots
- Gloves
- Durable clothing that covers arms and legs
- Chest and back protection (to ACU standard or higher)
Your clothing and equipment must be in good condition and free from any defects. We prescribe the minimum that you must wear, but it is your responsibility to ensure that generally you are wearing clothing and equipment that is safe and appropriate for the physically demanding sport you are about to undertake. We recommend you always inspect your clothing and equipment before each use. We do not inspect your clothing and equipment for you.
Conduct on track:
Please note: we are a practice track, not a race track. We want you to have a fun and rewarding experience, but safety is our number one priority: it must be yours too.
Motocross can be dangerous. Always ride to your own ability and be aware that other riders may have different levels of ability to you. Do not take unnecessary risks. You can still race and enjoy motocross while being courteous to other riders.
Pass other riders only when it is safe to do so. Remember: you are practicing, not racing.
Do not engage in any activity on the track which is dangerous, reckless, aggressive or which puts you or others at risk of harm.
Obey the instructions of the marshals and or light system at all times.
Be aware of hazards such as holes, fences, wire, rocks, ruts, mud, slippery and dry conditions. Ride in a manner that is appropriate to the conditions. Stay on the track at all times, and do not attempt to take shortcuts.
If you identify a hazard on the track, please exit the track safely and report it to a marshal.
Obey all arrows and other track signage.
Slow down for potential danger.
Never ride or push your bike backwards against the flow of other riders.
Your bike:
Your bike is your responsibility. Your bike must be in sound mechanical condition for use on our track. You must inspect your bike before you ride for any defects. Do not ride, or continue to ride, if you suspect that your bike has any defect or damage.
You:
Never ride while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Please report all injuries, not matter how minor, to the site office.
Fuel:
Only refuel a bike in the designated fuelling area. Report all spillages. Follow safety signs

Please ensure you take your rubbish with you, and use the bins provided.
Drugs and alcohol, even for non riders, must not be consumed on our site.
Spectators enter and use our site at their own risk.
Non-riders must never enter the track or pit-lane.

We reserve the right to eject and ban individuals from our site for contravention of our rules.
Children:
We consider anyone under the age of 18 to be a child.

Children may use our track if (a) they are over the age of five, (b) they are able to ride safely and appropriately, and (c) they can understand and adhere to the Track Rules.

If you are signing this disclaimer on behalf of a person under the age of 18, you confirm that you have authority to do so.
