I checked the website and it looks like you have to have flattrack tires for dirtbikes, no knobbies. Just a caution to those, change your tires out before you show up! Sounds pretty cool though.

2015 Rumble On The Trail TT Rules

1. The rider is responsible for choosing the proper class in which he or she belongs.
2. Physical abuse or verbal harassment to any officials or organizers will be a permanent disqualification of the rider.
3. Also the rider is responsible for the actions of their pit members and or family. If pit members/ family physically abuses or verbally harasses any officials, the rider will be permanently disqualified.
4. No illegal substances or alcoholic beverages will be allowed in staging areas or on the track. Riders should not use any of the above substances before or during the event as long as they are competing. Any impaired rider will not be allowed to compete and may be permanently disqualified.
5. The rider must cross the start line to be scored in the heat race. If there are enough riders to have a last chance qualifier, they will be lined up according to finish. This means if you cross the start line you will at least be scored last.
6. If a rider goes off track, they must reenter the track at the safest possible point nearest where he or she exited. They must not enter at a point where they can improve their scoring position.
7. The race official will determine if the rider cut the course, or furthered their scoring position. This will be judged from case to case, the final decision will be made by the officials.
8. When the yellow flag is displayed the rider may not pass to improve their position. This must be followed in all sections of the track with the yellow flag displayed.
9. In the case that a red flag must be used the race will be stopped and scored to the last completed lap. If the leading rider has completed 50% or more of the laps, the race may be considered complete.
10. In the event of the red flag; If the first lap has not been completed then there will be a complete restart. After the first lap is complete the officials will line up a staggered start, based on the last completed lap.
11. Lapped riders will be warned to move out of the way with a blue flag. If he or she fails to comply with the warning, they will be black flagged. If the rider does not move over, the official has the right to disqualify.
12. The white flag will display when one lap is left to complete. It is possible that the white flag may not be displayed at the beginning of the last lap. The rider is responsible to race to the checkered flag. The checkered flag lap will be the final score.
13. If the rider jumps the start line they will restart at the back on the penalty line. The spot where they were positioned will be left vacant for the restart.
14. The rider is responsible to be lined up for their heat. If he or she is not ready they must have a person present from his or her pit to call for 2 minutes. If there is no person present to call for the 2 minutes the official has the right after calling for the rider to start the race. If the racer shows up after line up is complete they will have to start at the rear.
15. Each class will have qualifying heats and a main event. If a class has more than six riders, they will be divided up in to different heat races. All riders will get a front-row start in their heat race.
16. Any rider that is on their bike, quad, or 3 wheeler must maintain an idle speed in the pit area.
17. If the rider wishes to warm up their tires they must use the designated area to do so. There will be no tire warm ups allowed on the start line.
18. A start light will be used to start the race, it will either go from red to green, or the light will go from blank to green to start the race.
19. In the event of rain on the Saturday of the race, and the races cannot proceed after the rain has stopped, then the race will be postponed till Sunday.
