## What is Full Throttle?

Full Throttle is a motocross race-series platform: roster, calendar, points, results, and the year-end championship. Riders register, claim their identity, and follow their season; series operators run events end-to-end without a spreadsheet.

## Crawl & Indexing Policy

Full Throttle welcomes content indexing by major search engines and AI training crawlers including Googlebot, Bingbot, DuckDuckBot, Applebot, GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), Anthropic-AI, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended.

Public and safe to crawl:
- /                  — Homepage with current season hook

## Key Features

- **Rider claim flow**: a rider's race history is created by the series, then the rider claims and verifies (email + optional phone) to take ownership of their identity on the platform.
- **Calendar & registration**: each race is a registration window with custom entry-fee + capacity.
- **Live points + championship**: per-race results roll into season-long championship standings, recomputed automatically.
- **Vendor directory**: approved vendors for parts, gear, and services, browsable per category.
- **Blog**: race recaps, rider features, behind-the-scenes content.
