The Course: 200 miles of jeep roads, power line and forest trails, subdivision roads, and cross country. As the name implies, there will be a lot of rock in various forms. About twenty miles of the course is on short sections of state and county roads. these sections are paved and under general use by the public. For this reason, a rider assumes full responsibility for entering with anything other than a street legal bike and motorcycle drivers license. These sections are short and remote and we do not anticipate any problems, however, the risk is there and you should be aware of it. The first forty miles on the first day will be a time keeping section where you will be penalized for coming in early, not for being late. This is to keep the speeds down in this area. Check points will be hidden in this section, and there will be one speed average for the entire section. Learn to keep time and install an odometer to keep your score down. there will be an impound area, and your bikes will be impounded Sat. nite; special regulations for working on your bike to put the whole load on the rider, so carry everything you will need. Gas will not be over 35 miles apart. Wear three number plates. Your number will be given to you with the mail out; it is your starting time; you will be racing the clock, and trying to keep your penalty points as low as possible.
Question will be answered by phoning:

2. Relations with competitors will be based upon a most diligent neutrality modified by an attitude of encouragement. You don't need their crap and they don't need a verbal kick in the teeth. Self discipline on your part will add an inestimable degree of professionalism to the management of the "200". Direct all complaining persons to the official scorer.
3. All checkpoint PERSONNEL will leave their checkpoints with clear and accurate records. Any operational inconsistencies will not be evident when checkpoint records are submitted to the official scorer. (in other words: if you crapped in the nest, you clean it up).
4. Checkpoint PERSONNEL will not discuss the difficulties which they may have experienced with any competitor at any time. Recommendations relative to the conduct of the event will be exposed to management only during the review following the event.
5. All PERSONNEL shall be aware that their desire to be helpful can vary in degree depending upon their relationship with a competitor. Favoritism is abhorrent. Say to those who ask, "you're looking good;" "give it a little more throttle;" "right on;" Be encouraging, but generalize.
* If arrivals do not permit this exchange, clean up your act at the first opportunity.
