Bumps During the Series: If a racer shows lap times that place he or she in the top 5 of the next higher class in any two of the first three races they participate in, the TORO Competition Referee Team will bump them to that class. No previously earned points will be carried into the new class. No additional competition fees will be charged unless the rider choses to make a lateral move after being bumped. The competition committee reserves the right to make the final decision in cases requiring special attention.
Bumps After the Series ends. At the end of each series, the Competition Referee Team will collect lap times from all races that can be used for bumps. Those events will be races where the ground was consistent all day, not dusty in the morning and snotty in the afternoon, for example. If a race is to be considered a Mud Race, that decision will be made by the CRT at the track on race day and it will not be used for bumps. For each event, riders will be grouped together by age or displacement and ranked from fastest to slowest, ie. All 250 riders will be ranked together, all Lady riders will be grouped together, etc. Each group will be divided into three classes: the fastest 20% (A), middle 30% (B), and slowest 50% (C). If a riders times place him in a higher class than he or she competed in at any two events, the rider will be bumped to that class for the next series.
