Start:
Riders will be seeded within their classes, Regional classes first, based on
total Series points including course setter points. Any unseeded riders
(late entries or first time visitors) will be placed at the back of the grid,
after the seeded riders.
Bikes will be lined up 2 (two) in a row for this event, or as dictated by the
terrain. Rows will start at 15 second intervals. For the start the riders will
be seated on their motorcycles with engines running. If it is noticed that a
rider starts before the light turns green, a 5 min penalty shall be imposed
on the offending rider. To stop the race, red flags shall be shown.
Please note: at the time the first row starts, all riders are in race time. You
will be compensated for the time difference between the starting time of
the first row and that of your row, but nevertheless you are under
starter’s orders from the time the first row pulls off.
Race Control:
Once you have completed a lap you will pass through the Race Control point
and will enter the live pit lane.
Pit lane:
Pit lanes will be live. Riders must ride in first gear, dead slow through
the pits, and may not overtake or race in the pit lane. Penalty for
overtaking in the pits is 1 (one) minute which will be added by the
timekeeper at the end of the event.
Points:
Will be awarded as specified in the KZ10/11 KZN Regional Cadet
Harescramble Regulations
Scoring:
The rider completing the most laps in the least time, including penalties and
adjustments, in the 2-hour period for race 1 and 2½-hour period for race 2,
shall be declared the winner.
Qualifying criteria: a) A cut off time of 45 minutes after two hours will be imposed for riders
still on the track, which may be extended at the discretion of the Clerk
of the Course in exceptional circumstances.
b) To qualify as a finisher, Clubman riders must complete a minimum of
one lap in the allocated race time for Juniors (race 1) and a minimum
of 2 laps in the allocated race time for Seniors (race 2)
c) A Regional rider must be seen to be racing for the full duration of
the race or will be regarded as a non-finisher.
d) A Regional rider must be mobile, with his machine, when crossing the
finish line after the 2 hour period for race 1 and 2½-hour period for
race 2, and must hand in his Helmet Sticker in order to qualify.

Also refer Penalties, MSA 2011 Handbook.
a) A rider shall be penalised 1 LAP for missing 1 checkpoint / route
control point on any one lap.

defined route. Penalty exclusion SSR 552
c) Any competitor leaving the route must rejoin at the same point where
he left it. Penalty exclusion SSR 552

The route of approx. 18 kms shall be marked with orange Day-Glo markers.
Green Day-Glo markers (if used) and red and white striped chevron tape
shall indicate a wrong way or a no-go area where confusion is likely.
Multiple Day-Glo markers or warning signs will mark a dangerous or
hazardous obstacle or area. The onus is on the rider to find the route.
Should a rider realise he has taken a wrong turn, EXTREME CARE should
be taken before turning around and backtracking to find the correct route,
in order to avoid a collision with other riders.
Livestock and game may be encountered along the route and you are
requested to take care and give them the right of way at all times.
In many places the route may be narrow and dust may be a problem.
Competitors should therefore ensure that they afford another competitor
who has caught up with him every opportunity to overtake in the interests
of fairness and safety.
Competitors to be overtaken must move over to allow other competitors to
overtake safely. Competitors failing to adhere to the above may be
reported to the Clerk of the Course who will take the necessary action.
The residents in the area have afforded us the privilege of staging this
event on their land. Riders are therefore requested to ride with respect
for their land, animals, crops and homesteads.
