The official races are run on Sunday of MKL weekend, this is how they are run below.

They group together each class and run approximately 6-10 bikes in the initial heat races at once. This is one of the most exciting times for MLK weekend.

They use a simple start method with a pre-start flagger and a light. Once the pre-start flag is raised the start light can be triggered anytime within a 15 second span. This format all but eliminated false and roll starts from MLK III. Serious false start bikes are dq'd from that heat, but can run again if it was not the last heat race.

Heat eliminations follow a simple strategy. We run each heat 2-3x depending upon size and speed of bikes. Each heat race we pull out the bikes we feel are the quickest to the top and tell them they are on to the next round, so they are done for that heat. With this method some bikes will run once, others may run as many as 3x. This strategy continues all the way through quarter finals.

Once they reach the semifinals/finals they run a true best two out of three format. With this format we generally have the fastest bikes transferring all the way through to the semi's, at which point a missed shift, bad start, malfunction can eliminate the bikes with a true two out of three format.

Each class will be run all the way through to the semi-finals level (final 4-6 bikes) where that class will be finished until semis and finals which are run at the end. The only exception to this is the first four classes listed below which will be run all the way through the Finals. Order of classes to be run is as follows:
