 2408. Special  events. 1. The commissioner shall adopt and may, from
  time to time, amend rules and regulations determining the special events
  which shall be subject to  permit  and  designating  the  equipment  and
  facilities  necessary  for  safe operation of ATVs and for the safety of
  operators, participants, and observers in such special events. Copies of
  such regulations shall be furnished by the commissioner  to  any  person
  making an application therefor.
2.  Whenever  a  special  event  is proposed to be held, the person in
  charge thereof shall, at  least  thirty  days  prior  thereto,  file  an
  application  with  appropriate governmental agencies having jurisdiction
  over the site of such event to hold such special event. The  application
  shall  set forth the date and location of the proposed special event and
  such other information as the governmental  agencies  may  require,  and
  such  event  shall  not  be conducted without written authorization from
  such governmental agencies. Governmental agencies shall either grant  or
  deny  authorization  to  hold  a  special event within thirty days after
  receipt of an application for authorization. The commissioner  shall  be
  furnished  with  a  copy  of  all  such applications. No permit shall be
  required for a closed-circuit special event  held  entirely  on  private
  property,  but  appropriate  governmental  agencies shall be notified of
  such event at least thirty days prior thereto.
3. ATVs  operated  at  special  events  shall  be  exempted  from  the
  provisions  of this article concerning mufflers, lights and tires during
  the time of such event, including all pre-race practice at the  location
  of said event.
