[QUOTE="wardy, post: 28508, member: 16710"] I need to know some things here. 1. what type of racing mx? 2. 4 stroke class is not a district class in either mx or hare scrambles. 3. Who gave you this information 4. why is this such a problem. I can tell you a couple things maybe it will answer some of your questions. We have asked that all riders riding district 17 events are to be current memebers. NOW before you start yelling d-17 sucks, realize this. ALL tracks and clubs that fly the district 17 banner vote on the rules and guidlines that district 17 follows. Another words my job is to institute these rules, help tracks run thier events, answer riders questions (like these) and promote the sport of motorcycling. You are require to be a district member not only for the points, but for many other reasons. Another reason is for the liability, as a rider you are aware of the risks, by signing up to be a district member for a year, you aknowledge the fact that racing is a dangerous sport and the releases you sign on race day go along with the district "paper trail" that we keep on all riders. This helps keep the tracks open in case of a law suit. Now its real simple, if you rather NOT be a member of a district that is your choice, but i think the quality and the uniform structure provided by our district serves you the rider well in good organized racing events in our district. Being a non member means you can't ride these events and if that is your choice, I would like to hear your comparison of non-district events and see how they stack up. Riders have different riding numbers, different classes, advanced by points which 90% would still ride C class if it wasn't for advancement. The points are as important to a track as they may or may not be to you. Think about this, with out a proper advancement system, number assignements, and a rule book, what kind of event could be put on. DO you realize that people will squable over little things such as number plate colors. Here is somthing else to think about, what if every track in this district decided not to be members, and each had their own rules, none of which where the same. How fast would riders stop going to other tracks, hence those tracks would loose revenue, the dealers would loose revenue and in not to long the abundance of tracks to race would be gone. Been there done that in the mid 80's, not a pretty site. Your district card costs 20.00. If you go anywhere riding anytime it costs that much for the gas you put in your vehicle to get there. Your district card includes a year membership to cycle usa newspaper and it also provides district riders with over 10k in awards at the end of the year. Maybe there isn't at this time a 4 stroke class for you, but I am very sure that there is a class that will allow you to get points and year end awards. Give me some information and i can list the classes available. Anyway your spelling is not my concern, your comments about this district that i have been a member of since 1975 and on the board since 1990 does. You may not aggree with all the rules, but like someone suggested in here be a part of the solution. Thanks wardy [/QUOTE]
