Proposed rule changes for AMA
Supercross/Motocross includes language to clarify rider
eligibility for the 125 Supercross class. Proposed rule changes
for AMA Flat Track contains language that empowers the Race
Manager to decide the appropriate equipment displacement for a
given track. Rules proposals for both disciplines, as well as
AMA Superbike which released its 2005 rules on Sunday, July 25,
include a rule that requires participants to utilize an approved
commercially-manufactured emergency helmet removal device.
Scott Hollingsworth, AMA Pro Racing CEO said that
these proposed rules have been developed as a direct result of
input made by the advisory boards of each racing series. “With
the valuable contributions made in part by our advisory board
members we have produced refinements and improvements to the
technical rules for each of our disciplines,” said
Hollingsworth. “The next step in this important process is to
open up the proposed rules to our 30-day comment period. We
expect to receive additional insight that will be considered
before final rules are sent to the AMA Pro Racing Board of
Directors for approval.”
