Is it time to get rid of the production rule? Motocross bike technology has not made any major leaps for a long time except for 4-strokes (way back in 1997). Alot of major support and satellite race teams get factory support anyways so what is the need for the rule anymore? Currently the major brands work to perfect their production models. I think if the AMA gets rid of it they will make major advancements in both motor and chassis technology that the they will be able to pass down to their production models making them that much better. I don't know, just a thought.
