DQ’ed. You may also be DQ’ed in
the event the Rallymaster hears of high speeds even long after the event
is done.

must help any other rider, whether in the rally or not, in the event of an
emergency. An emergency can differ
depending on location, time of day, etc.
An accident is always an emergency. Time maybe extended on a case-by-case situation.

rider caught doing burnouts, wheelies, or other foolish things in the
parking lot or during the rally will be DQ’ed.

before you start the rally. All
decisions are made by the Rallymaster(s) and are final.
