Can anyone explain what this rule means? This is direct from the
MX Sports web site: http://www.mxsports.com/2003rules.html
"2) In AMA districts where points are not kept in the C class, riders are not eligible for the C class at the National if they have raced prior to 2002."
This is a new rule for this year and I'm not sure what they are trying to accomplish. My understanding is that we in Alabama are in an unrecognized AMA district and therefore the points we keep in our series is not recognized nationally. If you take this literally, anyone in Alabama who raced at all in 2001, regardless of ability, is not eligible in the "C" class.
Can this be right? I'd appreciate any input from any of you guys who may have an inside source.
Thanks,
Len Smith
