BMX East are running a 7 round Sumer Series in 2018 and there are a few changes you should be aware of - please see the Summer Series page of www.bmxeast.com.

Since club racing across the region is now readily available to new riders there will be no Novice classes at Regionals.

In an attempt to keep the costs to families down, a new pricing structure is being introduced with 16 and Under classes having their entry fee reduced from last year and for those wishing to ride two classes, there is a reduced price entry available as long as the first class is entered at the full rate either On Line or on the day. Riders who enter two classes On Line can not obtain a refund to the reduced rate for the second class.

To qualify for the British Championships, riders must compete in at least 5 rounds in their main class and if they ride a second class they must compete in at least 3 rounds in that class – all events must be part of the East Region Series

A rider's Series Standing is based on their best 5 results.

Series Trophies will be awarded to riders who compete in 5 or more rounds in the same class.

Info for Riders

All Riders must have valid Silver or Gold membership of British Cycling.

Only Riders who are in the top 16 national standings from the previous year may request to ride up a class and this must be done by completing an application form available from the Regional Chair.

The male classes from 11 upwards will be merged into double age groups for racing and the results split out for standing and ranking points.

The Superclass is open to all riders of race age 17yrs and above although 16yr old riders can apply to the organisers if supported by their club coach. The Superclass is a payback class with a guarenteed miminum prize fund for the top 3 riders of £50, £30 and £20 - based on a minimum of 10 riders. If less than 9 riders are registered the fund will be based on 50% of registration fees.

The planned schedule is;

10.00 a.m. – 11.30 a.m - Registration and Rider Check In –

All Pre-Registered riders must sign against their name on the Rider List before close of registration. Riders who have not signed in will be removed from the event – no refunds will be given.
