[QUOTE="ProMed, post: 970535, member: 56023"] The other big news is that the Schoolboy (12-15) class will be 125 only. Similar to the way Loretta's was run this year. Here is another from Mototalk: ------------------------------------- Just got off the phone with Tim Cotter and Davey Coombs and found out that the AMA just passed two major new rules. First off, the Schoolboy class (125cc 12-15 Stock and Mod) is now a 2-stroke-only class nationwide. The Schoolboy rule was passed unanimously by the AMA Congress today, thanks to the lobbying done by MX Sports and OEM representatives from Suzuki and KTM. The other rule passed today by the AMA Congress had a little more trouble in the voting, but made it through by one vote. The new rule now allows 125s to overbore up to 144cc in the Mod classes. The purpose of this rule is to keep the cost of racing down and to elevate the competitiveness of the 125's against. the 250F's. However, this new rule only allows for modifying the bore and not the stroke. After the overbore rule was passed the KTM rep was heard saying that KTM might produce a 150cc production 2-stroke for the 125 Mod class. Not discussed at this session of AMA Congress was raising the cc limit of 4-strokes in the 85cc class. As it stands now, the limit is 125cc, while the OEMs claim they need at least 150cc to make a bike that is competitive with the current crop of 85cc 2-strokes. [/QUOTE]
