News from NEOTT

last updated: December 03, 2011
 

The updated NEOTT rulebook is here.   The key changes are:

- NATC rule change - both axles must pass between the gates i.e. no floating the front axle over a gate.  Floating the axle over a gate will get you a 5.

- If you DNF (Do not finish) you can still earn NEOTT points.  In the past if you DNF'd you got zero points for your effort which kinda sucked actually. Now there is a mechanism that allows you to still earn some points based on the number of sections ridden.  So if you DNF - still TURN IN YOUR CARD you may be eligible to still get some points.

- Group rides - there were no provisions in the rule book for group rides so added a section for that.  Bottom line someone else must punch your card - the group can figure out how they want to do that (swap cards, alternate scorers at each section...)

- Scoring videos from NATC - Here are links to youtube videos of the NATC demonstrating scoring. Note the pivioting turn.

Mike has had a lot of people ask him about his tether kill switch. Here is the link to where he gets it and a picture. He swaps out the belt clip for a clip from Lowe's that is a little bigger and easier to open\close with gloves on.  http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/9/195/26138/ITEM/Pro-Design-Tether-Switch.aspx?WT.ac=SLIsearch
