UTV Racing

It is the goal of Southern Nevada Supermoto to host FUN and SAFE races!! We will implement some of the rules of the UTV Racing Association that apply to the Stateline Supermoto-Cross. For more info on UTV racing, please visit www.utvracingassociation.com.

 

Fire extinguishers will be mandatory in each pit for this event. The Fire Department will be on hand all weekend inspecting to ensure that the event is run safely. Failure to comply will result in your disqualificaiton. Thanks in advance for your understanding & cooperation!

To compete in a Southern Nevada Supermoto event, all of the following conditions will need to be met in order to ensure the safety of all of the participants. All of the following items will be verified at Technical Inspection. Failure to comply with tech inspection will prohibit you from racing. There will be no refund of your entry fee in the event that you register to race and are unable to pass tech inspection. We will make every attempt to assist you in getting past tech inspection though…we want you to have fun!!!

All of the safety equipment that will be required to pass technical inspection will be sold at the race, and will be installed on site. If you have a stock Rhino or Ranger, bring it out, and it will be made race ready on site. Be sure to allow yourself enough time to make the necessary changes before the races begin. Racing will not be held up for those who are not prepared.

Race Preparations

- Drain all of the engine coolant and replace with Distilled Water (and Water Wetter)
*Engine Ice will not be allowed...only water
- Safety wire or place a glob of hi-temp silicone that covers a portion of all of the bolts or caps that have oil behind them. Make sure that the silicone connects the bolt with the adjacent portion of the engine case. This is done to ensure that the drain plugs and caps can not back off and spill oil on the track.

It is recommended that all component parts on the vehicle's suspension system, chassis and running gear be secured with s.a.e. Grade 8 or better nuts and bolts.

Electrical system

Ignition
Each vehicle must have a positive action on/off switch in good working order. The switch must be labeled "ignition" on/off and be located within easy reach of the driver and from the outside of vehicle. All electric fuel pumps with independent switches must be labeled "fuel" on/off and be within easy reach of driver and from outside of vehicle. It is highly recommended that electric fuel pumps not be independently switched.

Batteries
Batteries must be securely mounted with metal-to-metal tie downs. All flooded cell batteries must be fully enclosed including the sides and bottom. Enclosure must be able to contain the quantity of acid contained in the battery if inverted. Batteries shall not be located in the driver's compartment. Batteries will be considered as being in the driver's compartment if there is no firewall between the battery and the driver.

Vehicle Safety Equipment

Rollcages
All vehicles in competition must be equipped with a rollcage.

Definition
Open cockpit is a vehicle whose rollcage is open to the outside and the main structure of the passenger compartment with body panels attached to it.
Closed cockpit is a vehicle that has a manufacturer's stock steel passenger compartment with a rollcage installed in the interior of the passenger compartment.

Rollcage Design
All rollcages must be designed and constructed with as much or more reinforcement as the stock roll bars. All portions of the roll bar or bracing that might come into contact with the vehicle occupant's helmets must be padded. All portions of the roll bar or bracing that might come into contact with the vehicle occupant's helmets must be padded.

Rollcages must be securely mounted to the frame or body.

All vehicles including those with stock steel doors must have at least one side bar on each side of vehicle that will protect occupants from side impact. The side bars must be of the same tubing material and dimensions as the rest of the rollcage. The side bars must be as close to parallel to the ground as possible, be located to provide maximum protection to the occupants, and be securely welded to the front and rear hoops. The location of the sidebars must not cause difficulty in entering or exiting the vehicle.

Leg Guards and Door Panels
Each vehicle will need to have leg guards installed at a minimum, and preferrably also have door panels.

Safety harness
All vehicles must have a heavy-duty type five-point fast release latch (no push button type) seat belt, anti-submarine strap and shoulder straps with metal-to-metal buckles and connectors for each occupant. The five-point harness system shall consist of one 2-inch wide anti-submarine strap, one 3-inch wide seat belt and two 3-inch wide shoulder straps (no "y" type shoulder belts permitted). Chest buckles are optional. Harness material shall be made of nylon or Dacron polyester. Harness must be in new or perfect condition with no cuts, frayed layers, chemical stains, or excessive dirt and must be in flexible condition (i.e. material must not be rigid). All harnesses must show the manufacturer's name and the month and year of manufacture. All harnesses must be replaced before the end of the second year from the month and year of manufacture. It is highly recommended that all harnesses be replaced after one year from the month and year of manufacture. No portion of the harness may be altered in any fashion from the manufacturer's standard design. No surplus safety harnesses are permitted. Where "D" rings are used they must be doubled up, for example, two "D" rings per shoulder strap. Bolted mounting tabs are not considered to be "D" rings. A single "D" ring may be utilized if the loose end is sewn to the main portion of the shoulder strap in an "X" and "BOX" pattern and meets with the UTV Racing Association approval.

The five-point harness must be mounted to the main structure members of the same size and dimension as the roll cage and be gusseted. The structure members must be in the following locations. Anti-submarine belt to the floor structure as close to the front of the seat as practical in order to exert maximum restraint to the upward movement of the seat belt and shoulder straps. Shoulder straps must be mounted behind the occupants seats and be located a minimum of 4 inches below the top of the occupants shoulders. Seat belt should be mounted a minimum of 2.5 inches forward of the intersection of the back of the seat and the sitting portion of the seat. All adjustment buckles must be a minimum distance of 1.5 inches from the seat to prevent loosening or chafing.

Mounting hardware must be a minimum of 0.312-inch hardened steel bolts with a 1.5-inch diameter flat washer attached through the body or frame using lock nuts or cotter keys. All harness hardware must be safety tied. If a wrap around type harnesses is used, care must be taken to prevent them from slipping and chafing from sharp frame components. Wraparound harnesses are highly discouraged.

Safety nets or Arm Restraints
UTV Racing Association approved safety nets are suggested on all vehicles and should cover the complete open area of the cockpit on both sides of the vehicle. If safety nets are not used, arm restraints will have to be used to protect the driver. Nets must be installed on the inside of the roll cage to prevent them from being damaged or coming off in the event of a roll over or slide on the side. Nets attached to doorframes are permitted as long as door has a positive secondary latching device. Nets must be installed so that the occupants can release the netting unassisted and exit the vehicle regardless of the position of the vehicle. Net installation must meet with the approval of the chief technical inspector. Lexan in the side windows can be substituted for nets as long as positive secondary latching devices are used. Lexan side windows must be mounted in such a fashion as to allow quick removal in event door will not open.
The net border or edge and the net attachment must be made of materials that are as strong or stronger than the net itself. Net attachments must be every 6 inches. Acceptable attachments are not limited to the following: hose clamps, snaps, heavy-duty nylon ties, lift-a-dot, metal hooks and steel rods. Steel rods are acceptable methods of bottom fastening.

Southern Nevada Supermoto requires that occupants of all vehicles must be protected during a roll over in such a manner that prevents them from extending from the body or frame of vehicle.

SCR44: Bumpers
No hazardous front or rear bumpers, nerf bars, frame heads or other protruding objects from vehicles are permitted. Ends must be capped and rounded to prevent any sharp edges. Bumpers and nerf bars must be designed in a way as to reasonably inhibit two vehicles from becoming locked together. A safe front and rear bumper is required on all vehicles. Design of front and rear bumpers may be specified in some restricted classes.
Numbers on side of vehicles:

The vehicle side numbers must be located to the rear of the drivers compartment and attached to the rollcage. The numbers will be black only and be a minimum of 10 inches high with a 1 inch width stroke. The numbers must be displayed on a white background only. No deviation from this rule will be allowed if you are unsure of your placement bring your number plates and the tools required to mount the plate to tech inspection and we will instruct you on the proper placement.

Southern Nevada Supermoto reserves the right to prohibit any vehicle or driver from participating in any Southern Nevada Supermoto event if the safety rules are not adhered to. There will be no refund if you are not in compliance, no exceptions.
