You want to pick a spot and feel comfortable. Be at your starting position a minimum of 20 minutes before the start.<\/p>\n Head to the start- you will see a D36 EZ up at the entrance of the start this is called \u201ctech\u201d or sound test they will sound test your bike and make sure that you have a spark arrestor and a green or red sticker for registration.<\/p>\n You will need to stop when you get into tech & they will let you know when they are done (it only takes a few seconds). Then you will head to your row. You should have a sticker that says your row or they will let you know at sign-ups.<\/td>\n \u2610 For Cross Country: They will have each row go one at a time. Each row will start with a dead engine shotgun start (not starting gate). You will turn off your bike (dead engine) when the gun goes off for your row you start your bike and go.<\/p>\n For Enduro: Each row has an assigned time and you would leave on that minute. Example: If the start time of the race is 8am and you are on row 20, then you would leave at 8: 20.. Row 26 would leave at 8:26 etc..<\/td>\n There are so many friendly and knowledgeable people at the races. Never be afraid or nervous to ask a lot of questions! There are D36 officials wearing blue shirts that can answer any questions as well<\/mark><\/p>\n Steps for first time Racers: \u00a0Cross Country & Enduro \u2610 Sign up online for your D36 Membership Card: You will get an assigned District 36 membership number and this will also be your Cross Country and Grand Prix Racing number. >>Take a picture of your card when you get … Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-fullwidth.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/68646"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68646"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/68646\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71811,"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/68646\/revisions\/71811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/ama-d36.org\/archive\/d36\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/D36_large_t.png\")
