    AMA - is out of vintage racing

    Mike, Terry can think the AMA dropped the ball but he wasn't willing to uphold our AMA standards and rules. We have risk management education videos for safety, referee training, flagger training, we mandate that a Ambulance be on site during the event, etc. This organizer didn't want to...

    AMA - is out of vintage racing

    Again, I apologize for what happened at Log Road. It was never our intent to allow modern bikes to race on the same track as vintage bikes. On a positive note, Monster Mountain had around 160 entries for the weekend. Tom Brinkman was really excited about the weekend turnout. He already has...

    C class struggles.

    Hey John250... For whatever the AMA did to make you so upset, I'm making it a personal mission to make sure you get a different experience at AMA events. Understand I'm not the same AMA guy your probably used too. I can't make it to Briarcliff this weekend to ride myself, since I'm heading...

    C class struggles.

    Please don't take my opinions as "the AMA thinks", all rule and class proposals go through a AMA rules congress. There is actually some congress seats open here in Ohio. Here's your chance to get involved and make changes. Actually you could kind of be my boss. As for this, "the AMA only...

    C class struggles.

    A "B/C" class would not make a rider ineligible for C class. It would still be a advancement class under AMA Advancement rules if the event is sanctioned (Combined Class Advancement). I'm not fan of this class concept. It's going to scare off all your C classified riders. If you thinking in...

    C class struggles.

    Again... we can't change a National Advancement system because of one guy. And I think your being a little short sided saying, "NO ONE that riders 50s, 65s and then 85s should be eligible for the C class." Really? I know many kids that simply aren't that good, they have never won anything and...

    C class struggles.

    I never described Brandon Hartranft has a sandbagger. He followed the rules and fits well in the current B classes. If you look at our advancement system, we attempt to advance anywhere from the top 15% to 20% of participants, based on their average finish. My main point.. don't look at C...

    C class struggles.

    The most important this with advancement is being consistent across the nation. If you want to jump up and down and get mad about something. Consistency is the biggest challenge... On another note... all of the "secondary" classes, are still advancement classes. So you're just playing with...

    C class struggles.

    Understand that running a MX track is expensive. Alienating or scaring off the biggest demographic if racers (C classes) doesn't help the sport or our organizers. We can't make 20 classes for 21 guys. We have three: A, B, and C. Do you feel save with that leader of the C class racing with...

    C class struggles.

    Knox.. Keep in mind that the C classes are your biggest demographic. Don't alienate them. Just police them better. We've made some big changes to help the "National" scene with the C classes, the biggest, not allowing any international participant (for the exception of Canada) to participant...

    Chillitown roll call!

    Knox... I was at Chillitown and rode some myself. It was a awesome day of racing, even though I got spanked in the Open A. Big thanks to the Chillitown/OMA crew for a great job. I believe this past weekend might be the largest AMA one-day format event so far in 2015. Hopefully that puts...

    interesting..

    When you talking about the AMA Results Center there are a few things to remember. Electronic results didn't start get submitted to the AMA until the mid 2000's. So past results are not listed (currently). Everything time a result comes in, we match it with the racer's profile and update the...

    2015 AMA Vintage Motocross National Championship info...

    Simply... if a rider won a National Championship in a B or C class in 2014, either a age class or cc class (not the B/C classes or open classes). That rider is not eligible for that class in 2015. So for example if you won the 50+ B class... then you are bumped to 50+ A for the Vintage...
