 $100 ENDURO TIMING CHIPS – We will be using our SIAC Fly By timing system for this ENDURO event. Please note if you do not return the SIAC Timing Chip you will owe us $100. Yes they cost that much. Other enduro series require the racers to use their own or rent them plus a deposit. We trust our racers until proven otherwise so please make sure to return the chip if you decide to leave early.

Please Note: GPS units on bars or stem may interfere with the SIAC Timing Chip so it’s best not to use one

Enduro Racers must be present at the racers meeting where we will activate their chips.

NO Ebikes allowed this weekend at Killington. If a racer is using an e-bike, electric motorcycle, or gas motorcycle on the Killington property, they will incur a time penalty or disqualification. Sorry about this, but we don’t want anyone to gain any unfair advantages.
