[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 966609, member: 19572"] Here are the proposed rule changes...what are your thoughts? :pissed: [B]'06 Rules Changes [/B] The following rules change proposals were created utilizing input from AMA Pro Racing staff and the AMA Motocross/Supercross Advisory Committee. AMA Pro Racing’s Board of Directors has given preliminary approval to submit the following rule change proposals for a 30-day comment period as required by our rules making procedures. The proposals involve technical aspects of AMA Motocross/Supercross racing. [U]Proposal 1[/U] [B]The maximum sound limit will remain 102 DB/A for the 2006 season but will be reduced to 99 DB/A beginning at the first Supercross event of the 2007 season.[/B] This change will help reduce excessive noise in stadiums and at outdoor venues. Racing in many areas of the country may be threatened if the sound generated by such activities is not reduced to an acceptable level. AMA Pro Racing supports reasonable noise restrictions in motorcycle racing. [U]Proposal 2[/U] [B]All MX/SX motorcycles must be driven by rear wheel transmitted power only.[/B] Emerging technology involving front wheel drive could be detrimental to the balance of competition in MX/SX racing. Moreover, such equipment would dramatically increase the cost of racing. [U]Proposal 3[/U] [B]All MX/SX motorcycles must be powered by single-cylinder engines.[/B]This restriction would help preserve a sensible cost of equipment and keep practical maintenance at a tolerable level. AMA Pro Racing competitors or credential holders have the opportunity to express opinions and offer suggestions regarding these proposals. We invite your comments by mail, fax or through the RIDERS ONLY section of our website. The comment period will end October 1, 2005. Following a review of comments submitted, these rules proposals may receive final approval from the AMA Pro Racing Board of Directors. The rule changes (except the sound reduction) would then become effective January 1, 2006. When submitting comments, please reference the proposed rule number and state your remarks and suggestions as briefly as possible. If you are responding by fax, please send to: AMA Pro Racing – Rules Comment (614) 856-1924. If you are sending your response by mail, use the following address: AMA Pro Racing - Rules Comment 13515 Yarmouth Drive Pickerington, OH 43147 The RIDERS ONLY website is devoted to professional riders, teams and key industry members and serves as an online rider management area.
