2004 Short Track Rules
The Wheelie Wild Winter Race Series point system will be determined by taking the total accumulated points during the 5 race series.  Points will  be determined by the number of participants in the race.  For example, if there are 14 participants in a 1x race, 1st place will receive 14 points, 2nd place will receive 13 points, 3rd place will receive 12 points, and so on.  If there are 10 or less participants in a 1x race, 1st place will receive 10 points, 2nd place will receive 9 points, and so on.  DNF's will always receive 1 point for participation.  If you DNF, please let the race officials know. 

Winter Series events will be held rain or shine.

All CSC events will now be sanctioned by the National Off-Road Bicycle Association
