   ​
8. Spectator Safety: Keep spectators away from the track, especially outside corners, and use warning signs to highlight potential hazards.
   ​
9. Track Design: Avoid placing tracks near manmade structures, wire fencing, culverts, or washaways. ​ If unavoidable, inform riders during the briefing and record the briefing for accountability.

The AMCA assists with event registrations in the following ways:

1. Online Registration: All registrations are processed through the AMCA website, which includes the waiver process and electronic sign-on for participants, spectators, and crew. ​

Recognition of Accredited Race Officials

AMCA values the experience within the sport.
