[QUOTE="zero_it, post: 705120, member: 18548"] When the AMA changed to the .02 mile variance (I believe in 1999) the Northwest Motorcycle Association made a motion to follow suit. We successfully argued that this is totally impossible to comply with. The NMA enduro series is sticking with +/- 1/10 mile tolerance from the last posted mileage marker. Protests are handled just as the AMA does with three bikes: the course marshall, the protestor plus one other. It is virtually impossible to adhere to the +/- .02 mile (115 feet!) rule. When laying out enduros, I've found it difficult to get that kind of repeatability by myself, much less when comparing three different bikes/odos/front tires and three different riders. Not only is it almost a scientific impossibility, but it also drives everyone who wishes to layout an enduro to buck up and purchase a digital odo that measures down to 1/100 mile increments (or finer). I believe it really takes away from the spirit of the sport when people are arguing over 115 feet of trail. This is one of those rules that maybe looks good on paper, but is total BS. I would certainly support your effort to make a change to the AMA enduro rules and am certain I could rally the troops in Washington State to help the cause. [/QUOTE]
