Documentation Requirements: Written documentation of a record attempt must be submitted to the WRRA within 30 days after the attempt. This shall include:
- The date, time and location and altitude of the attempt.
- The names of the vehicle designer(s), builder(s), and rider(s) and the name(s) of the person(s) or organization(s) applying for the record.
- Photographs of the vehicle, Rider on the vehicle, and registration sticker on the riders helmet
- Speed and direction of wind as required by event.
- Evidence of timer calibration and accuracy.
- Evidence of course measurement and accuracy.
- A statement that all of these regulations and conditions have been complied with, signed by the applicant and both observers.
- A videotape showing the attempt, starting procedure and compliance with these regulations and conditions
Course and Wind Requirements:Altitude: Altitudes below 700M (2296 ft) without notation. Record attempts above 700M must state the actual altitude.
Course FlatnessExcept for courses for the road race events, and the time trial events one hour and over, all courses must meet the following flatness requirement: If an imaginary line is drawn from the end of the timed portion of the event course back toward the beginning of the course but sloped upward at a slope of 2/3 percent (1 meter in 150), at no point may the vehicle course pass above this line...
Course Types
Separate Records will be kept for Straight line and Velodrome courses for 200M flying start and 1 kilometer standing start categories. Straight line records must exceed any existing velodrome records to be granted.
Course MeasurementIn order to qualify as a record course, distances and elevation difference must be measured and certified by
a registered Civil Engineer, a registered Land Surveyor, or a person with equivalent training.
TimingFor record attempts under 15 minutes all timing must be accomplished by automatic start and stop actuation. Timers must be certified as accurate to within 1/100 of a second in 10 minutes or 1 second per day at a temperature of 20 degrees/C, plus or minus 5 degrees/C.
Certification must be by a chronographic testing service or a registered Electrical Engineer. Timing to the nearest 1/100 second is required, and timing to the nearest 1/1000 second is preferred. Events in excess of 15 minutes may be manually timed with two or more stop watches.
Wind Speed requirementUnlimited from Head wind to 85 deg. frontal cross wind. Tailwind to a 85 deg. frontal crosswind, the
wind velocity must not exceed 6 (six) kilometers per hour (1.67 meters per second). Wind velocity measurement must be taken during the duration of the actual timed run at the finish of the course, at a level of 2 meters above the course surface. These restrictions apply to closed and straight courses.
