Eligibility & Waiver
Who can ride, and what you agree to before you do.
- Guardian waiver needed for 14–17; 18+ standard waiver.
- Digital waiver required. Your registration isn't complete — and your slot isn't held — until your waiver is signed and payed for.
- Condition to ride. Riders must be free of any condition that would make operating a motorbike unsafe, and must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs at check-in or at any point during the event.
- 20 riders per event. Slots are first-come, first-served once registration opens. Please ask staff for last-minute spots in case of cancelations.
Gear & Safety
What's required and what you need to bring before showing up.
- Full-face helmet required. Bring your own — we do not provide loaners.
- Closed-toe, over-the-ankle boots preferred but sneakers are allowed. No sandals, or low-cut soft shoes like slides or slippers on the track. Riders without proper footwear will not be permitted to race.
- Long pants and long sleeves preferred. Shirt and shorts are not recommended.
- Gloves recommended. Not mandatory, but strongly advised.
- Eye protection required if your helmet doesn't have an integrated visor.
The Bikes
Every rider gets the same machine. That's the whole point.
- All Stocker Brawl bikes are identical, equipped bikes. All bikes are the same make, model, and tune. No personal or outside bikes are permitted on track.
- NO MODIFICATIONS TO BIKES, PERIOD. Riders cannot adjust engine settings, suspension, or add aftermarket parts. The only adjustment that can be requested is lever or bar position, by authorized Stocker Brawl staff only.
- Damage & liability. Riders are financially responsible for damage caused by reckless riding, contact outside normal race incidents, or riding outside the marked track.
- Bike swaps between riders are not permitted once heats begin, except by direction of Stocker Brawl staff (e.g., a verified fault like a flat tire).
Race Format
How a field of 20 becomes a single winner.
- Heats. Riders are split into heats of even groups based on the day's field size. Bike assignment within a heat is randomized or rotated to keep things fair across the field.
- Scoring. Finishing position and lap times across heats determine advancement — full scoring breakdown is posted at rider check-in for each event.
- Elimination rounds. Top finishers from each heat advance to the next round, narrowing the field until a final group races for the win.
- Rider meeting. Mandatory for all riders, held 30 minutes before the first heat. Covers track layout, flag stations, and any day-of changes.
- Check-in window. Arrive at least 1 hour before your event's start time. Riders who miss check-in forfeit their slot with no refund.
Flag Signals
Every corner marshal communicates in flags. Know them before you're on track.
Green
Track is clear — race is on.
Yellow
Caution ahead. No passing until you're clear of the marked section.
Red
Stop racing immediately. Slow safely and follow marshal direction — do not return to the pits at speed.
Black
Return to the pits at the end of the current lap. Directed at a specific rider — usually a penalty or safety concern.
Checkered
Heat is over. Complete the lap you're on at race pace, then slow for the cool-down lap.
On-Track Conduct
How to race hard without wrecking someone else's day.
- No intentional contact. Racing incidents happen — deliberate contact, blocking, or riding someone off the track does not.
- Passing is the passer's responsibility. If you're making the move, it's on you to complete it safely and cleanly.
- Stay on the marked track. Cutting a course section to gain a position results in that position being nullified, minimum.
- Obey all flags and marshals immediately. Flags override racing instinct — every time.
- If you go down, stay clear of the racing line and signal you're okay to the nearest corner marshal as soon as it's safe to do so.
- No riding against traffic or re-entering the track without a marshal's signal after a stoppage.
Penalties & Disqualification
What happens when a rule gets broken.
- Warning. First minor infraction (e.g., a single track-limits cut) typically draws a warning from race control.
- Time penalty or position drop. Repeated or moderate infractions add time to your result or drop you a set number of positions.
- Black flag / immediate DQ. Intentional contact, ignoring red flags, riding under the influence, or endangering staff or other riders results in immediate disqualification and removal from the event, no refund.
- Race director's call is final. All penalty decisions are made by race control on the day and are not appealable during the event.
Liability & Waiver
The fine print, in plain terms.
- Assumption of risk. Motorbike racing carries inherent risk of injury. By registering and signing the waiver, you acknowledge and accept that risk.
- Waiver is mandatory. No signed waiver, no bike, no exceptions — this applies to every rider, every event.
- Medical staff on site at every event. Report any injury, no matter how minor, to staff before leaving.
- Insurance. Stocker Brawl carries event liability coverage; it does not cover individual rider medical costs. Riders are encouraged to carry their own health coverage.
Sportsmanship
Race hard. Leave it on the track.
- Respect staff, marshals, and other riders — on and off the track. Abusive behavior toward staff or fellow riders is grounds for removal.
- Handle results like a competitor. Disputes go to race control, not to confrontation with another rider.
- Help when it's safe to do so. If another rider goes down near you and it's safe to check on them, do it.
- Represent the brawl. However you finish, you're part of what makes this thing worth showing up for.
