CLASSES ALL SERIES: .
A minimum of six (6) riders is required to constitute a class. A non constituted class means that points earnt from that class on that day
do not tally towards highest points scorer perpetual trophies. Where possible, classes will be combined where grid permits (to save time)
but will be scored separately. The Committee reserves the right to cancel classes from the series if there are insufficient entries (less
then 6) at the first round of each series if that class is eligible to compete in another class, and also to regrade riders who are obviously
performing well above the level of the class entered. Rider grading will be reviewed after the first round, and 'Clubman’ riders may be
elevated to 'Expert' at the discretion of the Committee. The top three overall Clubman riders in each series will automatically progress to
Expert Class for the following season provided a podium finish has been achieved at least once.
