Important Notice

Riders have been caught riding in the Pohakuloa Training Area without permission (all areas around Mauna Kea State Park). The Rock Island Riders have been notified by the Army that this will not be tolerated.

Please stay out of PTA

Besides whatever penalty you may get if you get caught by Range Control, you are only going to make it harder for us to get permission to use PTA for future events.

If the problem persists the Rock Island Riders may blackball anyone caught in PTA. Pass the word.

OVERALL EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Date:

Sign-up, Registration, Riders Meeting: - Saturday May 24, 2008

Race: Sunday May 25, 2008

A 100 mile cross country ride for motorcycles and ATVs over rough terrain. Course is over minimally maintained trails and “jeep” roads. Riders will race against the clock. Elapsed time from start to finish determines the score. NO BEGINNERS. Medical insurance will not be provided. If a rescue is required (eg. helicopter or ambulance), participant will be responsible for all costs.

Race headquarters will be at Mauna Kea State Park. Food concessions and entertainment will be provided on Sunday. Headquarters will be established Saturday afternoon. Sign-up, late registration, gas can drop-off and riders meeting will be done at this time. The exact times may be changed, but the following times can be used as a guide. There will be no other sign-up location or time; all registration will be on Saturday only!

• Sign-up and late registration, gas can drop-off - 2:00pm - 4:00pm
• Riders meeting - 4:00pm

The event will consist of two separate sections with separate awards. The combination of the times for both sections will determine the over-all results. There is the forest section followed by a mountain section. Street legal bikes can ride both sections. Non street legal bikes and ATVs ride only the mountain section.

The start of the forest section will be at the Waiakea ATV/MC Park on Stainback Highway and finish at a rock quarry along Saddle Road. No transportation will be provided. You will need a support crew to drive your vehicle to the mountain and you will drive your street legal motorcycle to the start of the second section which will start and end at Mauna Kea State Park.

Riding Numbers:

Riding numbers will be assigned from 1 to 150 based on the order of entry. ABC will not be used. All motorcycles must have front, left and right plate numbers. Quads are permitted to have only two plates. This requirement will be enforced at the tech inspection. At the starting lines, lower numbers have precedence over higher numbers and will be allowed to enter the chute first. Riding numbers will be assigned and posted on the web site. No numbers are being sold this year at registration. Bring your own.

Gas Checks:

Gas checks will be located within 40 miles of the start, finish or another gas check. All gas cans must be turned in at registration on Saturday.

Equipment Requirements:

• Water and jacket recommended.
• Gas must be in approved fuel containers, clearly marked with your rider number.
• 3 number plates for motorcycles, 2 for quads.
• US Forestry approved spark arrestor mufflers are an absolute must!
• Street legal motorcycle if you are riding the 1st section in the forest.
• Appropriate rider apparel, helmet, gloves, long sleeve jersey, riding pants and boots.

All machines will have to be tech inspected before being allowed in the starting line. A sticker will be applied by the tech inspector to indicate a successful inspection.

Classes:

• A Motorcycle Class - Expert Class (Mountain and forest sections)
• B Motorcycle Class - Amateur Class (Mountain and forest sections)
• C Motorcycle Class - Youth class, riders under the age of 15. An accompanying riding guardian is required. (Mountain section only)
• A ATV Class - Expert (Mountain section only)
• C ATV CLass - Youth class, riders under the age of 15. An accompanying riding guardian is required. (Mountain section only)

Special awards:

• Makule (55 years of age and older)
• Women

Procedures:

Starting Line:

A single file width chute will line up the machines for the Starter . A flip card board will not be required. Riders will be started every 20 seconds (resulting in 3 per minute). Recorders will have recorded the number and start time (including seconds) of every rider leaving the start line.

Riders can line up for the starting chute whenever they wish, however lower numbers can enter the chute before higher numbers. Once a rider has entered the chute the starting order will not be changed.

Closing of the Start Line:

A time for closing of the start queue will be established and announced. All riders must be in the start line by this time. An official will get into the line to effectively close the line. Only the riders already in line will be allowed to start. The start boss can modify this time if necessary.

Finish Line:

A chute will funnel the riders into the finish line. Recorders will record the number and time for each rider crossing the finish line. Recorders will also collect and keep a tally of all bottle check tags turned in by the riders.

Bottle Checks:

Bottle checks will be designated by a letter of the alphabet instead of a number. There may be both manned an un-manned bottle checks. At a manned bottle check the official will record the number of every rider prior to handing a tag to the rider. The rider will be responsible for turning in their tags at the finish of the section. You will be a DNF if you are missing a bottle check tag.

Section Descriptions:

Section 1 (Kulani) is open to street-legal motorcycles only in the A & B classes. Section 2 (Mauna Kea) is open to all ATVs and motorcycles in the A, B & C classes.

Section I - Kulani (Waiakea Forest Reserve) to Saddle Road.

• 5:00am - Tech Opens. All bikes must pass tech inspection before entering the starting line.
• 6:00am - Start Time. Riders will be started every 20 seconds.
• 6:30am - Closing of the Start line.
• 10:30am - Kulani cut-off. Riders not arriving by this time will “hour out” and not be allowed to continue on the course.

A Word of Caution!

A word of caution to those of you riding street legal bikes. Think carefully about entering both the Kulani and Mauna Kea sections.

Our best recommendation is that unless you rode recent MK200 events in less than 3 hours AND you are in top physical shape you should not consider riding both sections.

The Kulani section is about 38 miles, the drive on Saddle road to MKSP is about 15 miles, the loop around Mauna Kea is about 53 miles. That is well over 100 miles in the saddle.

Remember there are awards for both the Kulani and Mauna Kea sections individually, with overall awards for those successfully completing both sections. You can enter to ride either or both sections. There is a very real danger that if you are not prepared, and run late in the Kulani section, that you will miss the starting deadline for the Mauna Kea section. This will, very possibly, result in a DNF for the entire event.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew!

If you wish to practice see the post on “Where to ride“.

If you rode the MK200 in the last few years you might be interested in the following charts.  The finish times from the 2003 to the 2007 events was used.  All times were adjusted to match the 2007 event.

Where to ride - DLNR State Land, Riding Area Permits

Permits from DLNR are required to ride on State lands. DLNR currently has available two well utilized riding areas on the Big Island, Mauna Kea R-1 & R-10 and Waiakea ATV/MC Park. Both of these areas will be used in the 2008 Mauna Kea 200.

Permits are issued for a six month period and are available at the Hilo and Waiamea offices of DLNR. Every rider needs their own permit which needs to be applied for in person. You will be asked to sign a liability waiver as a condition to receive a permit.

Hilo:

DLNR

Division of Forestry and Wildlife

19 East Kawili St

Hilo, Hawaii 96720

Ph: 808-974-4221

Office hours: 7:45am - 4:30pm

Waimea:

DLNR

Division of Forestry and Wildlife

66-1220 A Lalamilo Road

Kamuela, Hawaii 96742

Ph: 808-887-6063

Office hours: 7:00am - 3:30pm

Those of you traveling from other islands can get a permit before hand from your local DLNR forestry office. It is recommended that you call them ahead of time to set it up as they will have to coordinate with the Big Island office.

Oahu Ph: 808-587-0166

Kauai Ph: 808-274-3433

Maui Ph: 808-984-8100

The Mauna Kea 200 permit will cover you only for the event itself. If you wish, for example, to practice ride in the days or weeks ahead of the event you will need your own permit. DOCARE will bust you if you are caught on State land without the permit.

Sample Permit:

 

You will also get a brochure on the Waiakea ATV/MC Park
