MIRA Pro Enduro Rookie Definition and Helmet Rule

In the interest of safety, MIRA implemented a rule requiring a yellow “X” to be placed on the back of the helmet of rookie riders in the Enduro classes that MIRA offers. Rookies will be defined as first year racer or first-time racer in the Enduro classes (Saturday or Sunday). Once a rider has been signed up for their 3rd Pro Enduro event and actually rode in all 3 races, they are no longer considered a Rookie. The yellow X will remain on the helmet for the entire season. In addition: Rookies wanting to compete in their first Pro Enduro must notify the Race Director to gain permission. Permission will be granted based on review the rider’s resume. The rider will be required to run “Observed Laps” in practice by the Race Director as part of the permission process. Crew chief or crew member MUST notify the Race Director when the rookie will be on the track for the laps to be observed. The Race Director may ask other MIRA officials to also observe these practice laps. The race Director will have final say if a rider needs more or less experience in determining the Riders Rookie status.
