2024 RULES FOR BAGGER RACING LEAGUE COMPETITION

Updated: 04/06/2024

The Bagger Racing  League and its line-up of participant-based elements was created to serve as a competition platform to showcase the performance characteristics of large displacement V-Twin motorcycles and the athletes that operate then in select premier events.

In addition to showcasing the types of machines that have provided American motorcycle competition for more than a century, the BRL classes of approved equipment, will provide a critical platform to demonstrate, under race conditions, the vast array of approved aftermarket performance products, that will allow this unique category of motorcycles to maximize their competition environment for a variety of large displacement V-Twin motorcycles.

The various brands and models of the machines featured in the BRL are included in the Approved Equipment List, for each competition class. In addition to identifying the approved equipment list of vehicles that will  be featured in the BRL competition program, each approved model has specific rules and equipment requirements, which establish performance allowances, which will provide for a quality competition entertainment experience for riders and fans.

The unique design of each of the motorcycles on the approved equipment list, will require an equally unique array of performance specifications that allows machines of similar design but various performance characteristics, to compete under defined competition standards that strive to provide parity among each brand and model, with the paramount goal to provide for the highest quality level of competition and motorsports entertainment.

INTRODUCTION

This book contains the rules and technical requirements governing all events that make up the Bagger Racing League and was designed to provide the necessary information to assist entered riders in the preparation of motorcycles for competitions sanctioned by the Bagger Racing League.

As a rule, unless optional equipment or modification is specifically permitted by this Rulebook, they are prohibited. The intent of a specific rule will override a competitor’s interpretation of that rule. Bagger Racing League officials will determine the intent of a rule. If any equipment rule is unclear to the competitor, the competitor is advised to obtain written approval from the Bagger Racing League prior to making any modifications.

While every effort has been made to write these rules in a clear and unambiguous fashion, it is impossible to anticipate every circumstance. It  will be the Race Director’s responsibility to make decisions regarding rule enforcement.

3. In the event a rider needs to make repairs once loaded on the Starting Grid, the machine must be pushed back from the grid, away from other contestants. All machines should be running prior to the display of the 30-second board.
4. Once the track is clear for the start, the Race Director or his designee will direct the Starter to hold up a 30-second board. The 30-second board will be held upright for 30 seconds, then turned sideways at which time a start light will countdown to indicate the start and the release of the bikes
5. Riders who are present at the Starting Grid but are unable to start due to a stalled motorcycle or other contributing factor may join the race from the starting area until the time the race leader completes the first lap. Thereafter, the rider may not join the race and is barred from any subsequent restarts.
6. Jumping the Starting Grid process may result in a penalty or disqualification.

2.15 Restart Procedure 

1. In the case of a false start (light malfunction or other contributing factor) a race will be restarted with the riders returning to their original Starting Grid positions.
2. Should a race be stopped after one (1) full lap is complete, the race will be restarted using the original staging positions for that race. If a race is stopped after two (2) full laps are complete, the riders will be staged based on their positions the lap prior to the red flag. The restart will resume for the time remaining laps of the race. The restart will take place as soon as possible and within a maximum time of 10 minutes, providing track conditions allow.
3. Should a race be stopped after 80% of the  Scheduled laps are completed by the race leader, or more minutes have elapsed, the race will be considered complete, and finishing positions will be determined by a rider’s position on the lap the race is stopped, as opposed to track positions in the lap preceding the red-flagged lap.
4. Riders who are not present at the Starting Grid or who are present but unable to join the race before the race leader completes the first lap, are barred from any subsequent restarts.
5. During a restart, all riders must return to their original starting grid position and wait for further instructions from an official. Riders are not permitted to return to the paddock. Riders returning to the paddock will not be eligible for the restart unless directed to do so by the Race Director.
6. Repairs to motorcycles must be made in the designated Pit Area or behind the Starting Grid only. No repairs may be performed on the Starting Grid.
7. In the event of a restart crew members will be allowed to the Starting Grid.
8. Riders may be directed to the paddock by the Race Director in case of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
9. Any race start or restart will be considered an official part of the event even if the start or restart does not result in a lap being completed by the leader. Therefore, any start or first lap infractions will be deemed valid and ruled upon accordingly.

2.16 Qualifying  

1. The qualifying program will consist of two-timed practice sessions per class.
2. Class starting grids will be seeded based on timed qualifying.

2.17 Race Finishes 

1. Races are officially ended for all contestants at the completion of the lap in which the checkered flag is displayed to the winner.
2. Riders will be credited with all laps they complete during a race unless a penalty has been assessed. Under normal circumstances all lap and finish positions will be determined by scorekeepers, finish line cameras or electronic timing devices (transponders). In the event the electronic timing system fails to record a time or lap position for any rider, a photo or back-up manual score sheet will be used to determine the laps completed and finishing order for the rider. In the case of a photo-finish between two or more riders, the win will be awarded to the rider whose front wheel crosses the plane of the finish line first. In the case of a visual tie or where a clear determination cannot be made, the riders concerned will be ranked in the order of the best lap time made during the race.
3. For a lap to be considered complete, the rider and motorcycle must cross the plane of the designated finish line, located at the site of the scoring/timing transponder receiver loop. The line will be clearly defined with trackside markers and will be located as close to the finish-line flagger as possible; the line’s official location, however, will be at the location of the  timing/scoring loop, not the flag itself.
4. Riders who do not complete the checkered flag lap will be scored in order of finish and laps completed. Riders choosing to leave a race before its completion are not required to wait for the checkered flag to receive credit for laps they have completed.
5. A rider whose motorcycle is disabled before reaching the finish line may, by the rider’s own unaided muscular energy, push the motorcycle in the proper direction of the racecourse to complete the lap by crossing the finish line, unless the rider is determined to be a hazard by the Race Director.
6. Under normal circumstances, the winner is the leader at the time the checkered flag is first displayed.
7. Should a rider be given the checkered flag ahead of the actual winner, or with the winners, the rider will be scored as having completed the race in the race position the rider was running at that time.
8. Should the checkered flag be displayed later than the official distance, the finishing order will be decided based on the official distance.

2.18 Official Race Results 

1. Race results will not be made official until all scoring materials are examined and approved. Provisional results will be posted, and riders will have 30 minutes to request a re-check or otherwise challenge the results. If no re-check is requested or challenge made, the results will become final.
2. If a re-check is requested within the 30-minute time limit, a new posting time limit of 30 minutes will be required if changes are made to the previously posted results.
3. The issuance of official results does not exempt riders who competed in the event from penalties for rules violations issued by the BRL following the protest period.
4. Riders are entitled to review their scores with the Timing and Scoring Manage

2.19 Points

2.20 Tie Break Procedures
In the event of a Tie in Series Points;

1. The tie breaker is the most number of 1P finishes.
2. If 1P finishes are equal. The tie breaker is the order of finish of the final series race.

EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT AUTHORIZED AND PRESCRIBED IN THIS RULE BOOK IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN        

The Bagger Racing League’s decision to introduce the Super-Street class stems from a desire to make motorcycle racing more accessible to enthusiasts at all levels. This class is designed for riders who are passionate about the sport but may not have extensive racing experience or the budget for high-end modifications. The emphasis is on skill, strategy, and the sheer joy of competitive racing.

The Super Street class limits the changes Racers can make to their motorcycles. This not only levels the playing field but also puts the focus on rider skill and strategy. The idea is to create a thrilling and competitive environment where riders can showcase their abilities without breaking the bank on expensive modifications. By providing an accessible and thrilling platform for riders with limited modifications, the league is reshaping the landscape of entry-level racing.

18. Causing or attempting to cause a race to be stopped. At the sole discretion of the BRL, a rider who is judged to have intentionally caused a red flag may be excluded from restarting the race in question.  
19. Failure on the part of a manufacturer/distributor to fulfill the requirements of approval. 
20. Any other act or actions deemed by the BRL to be detrimental to the sport of motorcycle racing. 

A3. Equipment Offenses and Penalties 

This section deals with violations of equipment regulations. Regardless of a motorcycle passing prior inspections, compliance with all applicable equipment rules must be made at the post race inspection. Any motorcycle found to be in violation of equipment rules may be assumed to have been in violation for the entire race event. In passing a motorcycle through technical inspection, the BRL does not warrant that motorcycle’s adherence with all rules. Each entrant and rider in BRL competitions assumes full responsibility for any violation of equipment rules involving their motorcycle. 

A3.1 Equipment offenses are divided into two categories:  

1. Category 1 – An equipment violation that could potentially or effectively enhance the performance of a motorcycle used in competition. 
2. Category 2 – All other equipment violations. 

A3.2 Impounding of Motorcycles and Components: 

1. The BRL may impound motorcycles or components for up to 45 days following an event in which such motorcycles or components were utilized in competition, to allow the BRL to perform detailed inspections and testing. 
2. In the case of an appeal, the BRL may retain custody of impounded equipment until the appeal process has been completed. 
3. In any case where a part has been determined to be in violation of BRL rules, that part may be held indefinitely by the BRL, to prevent the use of that part in future competitions. 

A4. Penalties 

Based on the severity of the offense, violation of BRL rules and regulations may result in a penalty. The BRL, in its sole discretion, is authorized and may impose such penalty, including but not limited to any one or more of the following, in no particular order: 

1. Warning
2. Probation
3. Fine
4. Loss of start grid selection
5. Finishing position deduction
6. Time penalty
7. Total or partial loss of points or laps
8. Total or partial loss of prize money
9. Disqualification from one or more events
10. Suspension from one or more events 
11. Forfeiture of entry 
12. Forfeiture of series/event credentials 
13. Any other disciplinary action deemed appropriate in the discretion of the BRL. 

A5.  Protests 

A5.1 Unless specifically excluded herein, entrants and riders may lodge protests on any matter regarding an event in which they were a participant. Such matters may include, but are not limited to, the conformity of a machine with these rules or the eligibility of a rider. 

A5.2 There are two types of protests: technical and administrative. Technical protests relate to the legality of motorcycles and components used in competition. All other protests will be defined as administrative. 

A5.3 Every protest must be made separately and in writing. Each protest must specify the violation of the BRL rule or procedure alleged and must be accompanied by a filing fee. For a technical protest the filing fee is $1,000; for all other protests the filing fee is $500. The BRL will not accept verbal protests or protests which are not accompanied by the required fee. 

A5.4 The posting of provisional results starts the 30-minute protest period. 

A5.5 Final determination of the timeliness of a protest will rest with the BRL and such decision will be final to all concerned. 

A5.6 Protests will not be accepted which concern the decision of BRL’s timing and scoring. 

A5.7 Protests will not be accepted on decisions of BRL officials with respect to the interpretation of BRL rules as they pertain to race procedures. Such decisions include, but are not limited to, establishment of grids and assignment of starting positions; the start of the race; jump starts; the control of the motorcycles; the decision to delay, stop or shorten a race; establishment of restart grids; the display of flags; assessment or failure to assess penalties, including  finishing position, lap or time penalties; and disqualifications, whether from a single event or the entire race event. 

A5.8 The BRL will render decisions on all protests as soon as possible. If it is not possible to render an immediate decision, the BRL may permit a protested rider to compete under protest. In such cases, payment will be withheld of all affected awards and monies pending a decision on the protest. 

A5.9 Once made, a protest cannot be withdrawn without the permission of the BRL. 

A5.10 Any legitimate expense that the BRL may incur as the result of a protest must be paid by the protesting party, and the BRL may require in advance a deposit from the protesting party sufficient to cover such expenses. If the protest is upheld, however, such costs must be reimbursed by the protested party. 

A5.11 If the BRL decides a protest in the favor of the protesting party, the protest fee will be refunded to the protesting party.   

A5.12   If the BRL decides a protest in favor of the protested party, they will keep the protest fee and produce a written report. However, in the case of a technical protest which involves the teardown or measurement of an engine, the protested party will be entitled to the protest fee.

A6. Appeals 

A6.1 Appeals may be lodged by entrants and riders to initiate BRL’s administrative review process. An appeal may be lodged by a party which loses a protest and desires further review of the issue. In general, appeals cannot be accepted related to matters for which no remedy is available. (For instance, no appeal will be heard if the only means of remedy would be to re-run the event.) 

A6.2 An appeal must be in writing, signed by the appealing entrant or rider, and must state specifically the elements of the protest, fine, suspension, or technical disqualification being appealed and the grounds for the appeal. The appeal may either be filed at the event or submitted to the BRL. 

The appeal must be received by the BRL by 5:00 p.m. on the second business day after notification to the participant of the ruling or incident in question. 

A6.3 A filing fee of $1,000.00 must accompany the appeal. The filing fee will be refunded only if the appealing party prevails. Laboratory fees must be paid by appealing party and are non-refundable. 

A6.4 The appealing party will be responsible for producing the following within five days of notification of the decision/incident being appealed: 

1. Copies of all written statements which will be offered as evidence at an appeal hearing. 
2. A complete list of witnesses to appear at the appeal hearing. Attorneys are not permitted at appeal hearings. 

A6.5 The BRL will review all materials submitted as required and will, in the interest of deterring unsubstantiated appeals, determine whether, in its sole and absolute discretion, the circumstances of the appeal warrant the convening of an appeal board.  

A6.6 Following the submission of an appeal, the BRL shall take one of three initial actions: 

1.   Rule in favor of the appealing party, take appropriate remedial action and refund the filing fee. 
2.   Convene an appeal board. 
3.   Determine the appeal to be without merit. If the appeal is determined to be without merit, an amount in addition to the $1,000.00 filing fee may be assessed against the appealing party. This amount will be equal to the actual costs incurred by the BRL in making the initial determination and shall be considered a fine under these rules such that all applicable rules regarding fines will apply. 

A6.7 If the matter being appealed is a dispute between two participants, the BRL may mediate the matter in an effort to reach an agreement between the parties; but failing to do so, may convene an appeal board to hear the matter. For these purposes, a dispute between two entrants or riders is deemed to exist only if one party or the other has filed a formal protest against the other.  

A6.8 Each appeal board will consist of three persons with no material interest in the matter at hand. Selection of the appeal board members is at the sole discretion of the BRL, which will make every effort to assure a fair and impartial hearing. 

A6.9 No evidence or other information will be given to the appeal board members in advance of the hearing, and the BRL will use its best efforts to keep the composition of the appeal board confidential until the hearing. Any effort by any party to unfairly influence a member of an appeal board may result in disciplinary action. For these purposes any effort to discuss the matter under appeal prior to the hearing will be considered an attempt at influencing the appeal board member. 

A6.10 The time and place of the appeal hearing will be determined by the BRL. The appeal hearing will be convened as soon as practical and barring delays will be held no more than 30 days after the ruling/incident being appealed. 

A6.11 The BRL will designate an individual who shall serve as non-voting chairman of the appeal hearing. No other member of the appeal board will be an employee of the BRL. 

A6.12 The BRL will confirm the time and place of the hearing in writing to the appealing rider, such notice to be made at least 10 days before the hearing unless the appealing party agrees to shorter notice. Formal written notice will be deemed to have been given when mailed or faxed to the appealing party at the most recent address he or she has provided to the BRL. The BRL will make every effort to verbally confirm the time and place of the hearing with the appealing party. 

A6.13 Appearance at the hearing will be the responsibility of the involved parties. If the appealing party fails to appear, the appeal board may go forward with the hearing. In the event of a documented emergency on the part of the appealing rider, the hearing may be delayed. 

A6.14 The appeal hearing will be informal, and rules of evidence will not apply. The following guidelines for conduct will, however, be enforced by the chairman: 

1. The chairman and members of the appeal board may at any time ask any questions they deem appropriate. 
2. All parties involved in the appeal will be expected to provide full cooperation to the members of the appeal board in establishing pertinent facts and gathering information. 
3. All comments from parties involved in a dispute will be to the appeal board members. No debate between the disputing parties will be allowed.
4. The appeal hearing will be a closed meeting with attendance restricted to the following: The chairman, the members of the appeal board, the party or parties directly involved in the appeal and their witnesses. Subject to the approval of the chairman, non-participating observers may also be admitted. 
5. Any party to a matter under appeal may request a written statement from any BRL competition rider or credential holder believed to have relevant information. Refusal by any BRL credential holder, event official to provide a statement or testimony when requested may result in disciplinary action as provided for in these rules. 
6. Information presented to the appeal board must relate directly to the matter under appeal. Discussion of past appeals or situations involving other participants will not be considered. The chairman may ask the appeal board to rule on the validity of information or testimony being presented. 
7. Any party who fails to comply with these guidelines for conduct will be asked to leave the meeting and may be subject to disciplinary action.

A6.15 The following order of business will be followed at appeal hearings: 

1. Introductions and summary of matter under appeal. 
2. Presentation of written and oral testimony, with the party in a defense posture presenting its evidence last. 
3. Questions from the chairman and appeal board members. 
4. Closing statements, again with the party in a defensive posture going last. 
5. After all evidence has been presented, the appeal board will go into executive session to consider its decision. The chairman may, upon the request of at least two members of the appeal board, be present as a consultant to this process. It is the responsibility of the appeal board to rule on the matter at hand within the context of existing BRL rules and regulations. Appeal boards are encouraged to make recommendations regarding such rules and regulations but have no power whatsoever to waive or modify rules that were in place at the time of the matter under appeal. 
6. Decisions of the appeal board will be by simple majority. 
7. Upon reaching a decision, the appeal board will inform the chairman of same and the chairman will assist in drafting the board’s formal statement. 
8. Upon completion of the appeal board’s formal statement, the appeal hearing will reconvene, and the chairman will read the statement. 

A6.16 If the appeal board members do not feel they can make a decision based on the evidence made available to them at the appeal hearing, they will have up to seven days to conduct further investigations and reach their decision. If no formal decision has been reached within seven days of the appeal hearing, the appeal board will be dismissed. 

At that point the BRL must either mediate a resolution to the appeal or convene a new appeal board.

The hearing will be adjourned with the decision of the appeal board final to all parties. 

A6.17 BRL will reimburse actual expenses incurred by members of the appeal board. Parties and witnesses to the appeal will not be entitled to any such reimbursement. 

A6.18 If an appeal is upheld, the appealing party will be refunded the filing fee. If an appeal is denied, the filing fee will be retained by the BRL to defray costs of the hearing. 

A6.19 While in the process of appealing a fine or suspension, a participant may continue to participate in BRL events. However, this privilege may be denied, at the sole discretion of the BRL, if the suspension is related to an offense for operating a motorcycle or any motor vehicle in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of other riders, officials or the public. 

A6.20 The participants to the appeal agree that the determination of the BRL, in the event the appeal is determined to be without merit, or the appeal board is final, binding and shall not be further appealable to the BRL, any court, or any other tribunal. The participants to any protest or appeal further agree that the protest and appeal procedures provided for in the BRL Rulebook are the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any disputes and renounce the right to, and shall not pursue, recourse to any arbitrator, court or other tribunal not provided for in the BRL Rulebook. Any attempt to do so shall result in disciplinary action being imposed by the BRL in its sole and absolute discretion. Said disciplinary action may include the permanent suspension of the rider, crew member, other individual or motorcycle from participation in BRL competition or any lesser disciplinary action deemed warranted by the BRL.  

A6.21 The participants in the appeal agree that the publication of protests, appeals and the interim and final results of said protests and appeals may at the sole discretion of the BRL  be released to the public in any media deemed appropriate by the BRL. The participants agree that they shall not bring a cause of action against the BRL or their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents and assigns as a result of such publication.
