3rd place = 92 points 8th place = 81 points
4th place = 89 points 9th place = 80 points
5th place = 86 points 10th place = 79 points

     …continuing down by 1 point per place. Points for each day will be added together to determine the final standings. There will be one-run run-offs for any ties in regular class points totals at the end of Sunday’s regular classes. The King of the Hill class will be scored based on the same placement schedule used for the 2003 King of the Hill Championship Series events – in the event of a tie for first place, those two riders will have a one-run run-off (ties for other places will not be broken).

     Rider entry fees will be $35 per class (for the weekend, not each day). Free admission for riders – riders signing up for 3 classes will receive one extra free admission. Gate fees for all others are $7 per day, or $10 for weekend pass. Children 6 and under are free. All riders will also receive one coupon good for a free meal at the IMC concession stand (a brat or hot dog, chips, and a drink).

     Premium awards will be presented to the top ten in each class based on their final series standing at the end of Sunday’s event. There will also be cash payback for the top 3 in each class, based on the number of riders in the class.

     All qualifying riders must submit entries postmarked by August 14th. After that date, Indianhead Motorcycle Club may extend invitations to riders beyond the top 12 per class per district based on rider entries to that point – if you do not qualify in the top 12, but wish to be considered for invitation please contact IMC representatives Rob Redmann ((507) 288-4606 or Redmanns@Charter.net) or Kaleb Northrup ((651) 480-3004 or Motoman@KingOfTheHill.org) to inquire about whether or not additional invitations will be given. Only the top 12 are guaranteed invitations – other invitations will be solely at the discretion of Indianhead Motorcycle Club.

     Riding order will be based on the order in which entries are received – the first entry in rides last in the class – the last entry in rides first. The rider leading the class after the first run may choose to run out of order if he/she so desires – all other riders must ride in order.

     The entry form will be available for download from the Indianhead Motorcycle Club website at www.IndianheadMC.org on or a little before July 19th. All riders must download, print, and fill out that form for each class entered, and then send in those forms with entry fees by August 14th. Entries received from riders who did not qualify in the top 12, or who were not extended additional invitations, will not be accepted.
