MRA Drug and Intoxicant Policy (including marijuana)

[JimWilson29]

The use of intoxicants or drugs of any nature (to include marijuana) that could affect the mental or physical abilities of any participant from his/her normal capabilities when in good mental and physical health are strictly prohibited. Failure to comply will result in punitive action up to a $500 fine and a permanent suspension. All Federally illegal drugs (to include marijuana) are prohibited from being used or possessed at an MRA event at any time.

As a general guideline:

First Offense - Suspended for remainder of the weekend, including forfeiture of points, and the following weekend and a $100 fine.

Second Offense - Suspended for remainder of the weekend, including forfeiture of points, and 2 additional weekends and $250 fine.

Third Offense - Suspended indefinitely. Member will have the opportunity to apply for reinstatement after a one-year suspension and the payment of a $500 fine.

* The board ultimately reserves the right to amend these violations based upon any aggravating or mitigating circumstances (the track is hot, endangering other riders, endangering ones self, etc……)

All racers may be subject to drug testing. This will be done using the prevailing and established federally recognized drug testing procedures and protocols. Failure to submit to testing procedures, or failure to pass the tests, will result in punitive action up to a $500 fine and one-year suspension.

Each rider is responsible for the behavior and action of any personnel, either family or crew, who is attached to his/her racing effort. Any punitive actions required for crew behavior will be levied against the rider.
