Title: AMA structure for 2009
Post by: Adiggity on October 24, 2008, 10:40:03 AM
So for those of us who might have been planning on racing AMA with a 600, we only have one race that we can enter......if we are over 21.  :-\

that SUCKS!  Some of the best riders are under 21. I guess the only way in for these kids is through a team.

That's lame. It's good to see they kept superbikes, but the rest seems kind of lame.

does anyone know, or have a link, for the rules pertaining to 600cc supersport? I am curious what "minimal modifications" means exactly...

What Andy means is now the class is for people less than 21. You have to be under 21 and you can't compete for more than 3 years without moving up. That really sucks for guys who get into the sport late.
