*NOTE you must purchases a class membership for each class in which you wish to reserve your number* Once you have purchased a class membership, and your rider number has been approved, you have rights to that number for the entire season in the entirety of your moto (no other classes you race with can have the same number) Then after the season concludes. we will open membership registration on January 1st for the next season. Jan 1st- Feb 1st previous year class members have first rights to their rider numbers of their previous year’s class memberships, and can claim their rider number again for the following season. Everyone else will be held in queue on a waiting list. Feb 2nd until the end of season, all remaining numbers are fair game and will be granted in order of the queue. If you are advancing classes, you unfortunately do not have immediate rights to a number if claimed by a different rider the previous year, but the sooner you purchase a membership, chances are you will be first in line to claim if available.
