Any news yet on OMA tracks and classes?
Very very close. Our mouths are opening to speak, that close.
I would be nice to see a couple new threads started to discuss class structure and rules for both bikes and quads.
As far as rules I would hope the new rulebook would be similar to AMA. Quad class structure needs big change. We need a, b, and c classes as well as a true woodsman or d class. I think we will also need age classes, like +30 vet , maybe a junior class 16-29, and a class for the younger racers on 250-400cc machines, women's class and possibly an open class that would be open to all these racers.
I think the rules will mimic AMA, but in terms of classes, thats alot of classes. I think we keep it basic for the first year, and try to fill the gate. If attendance is good, then maybe add a class or two the following year, maybe. My thoughts are Quad B, Quad C, Schoolboy 13-15 (300 class), then 110's and under, and 70cc and under. And these would be the points paying classes, thats not to say that a promotor couldnt run a 30+ Quad or Womens Quad, i might do that for the Battle, but in terms of the points paying classes that all OMA tracks must run, i think we keep it trimmed up.

Was that "all" a little slip up????
I'm hoping to race at least 2 maybe 3 classes. It's going to be hard for me to justify a 3 1/2 hour drive to Briarcliff to only race one class. I would like to go to everyone of these new OMA events and race 2 or 3 classes. I think it is very important for all racers to have the option to race a second or third class.
I could see maybe trying to get you to run a second class, but three??
I would drive 3.5 hours if someone would replicate what im doing, and yes I would do for just two motos.
Yes 3 if I like the track I'm racing. 2 would be enough if that's all that is available. And at this point I would drive 3 1/2 hours just to find out what you are doing.
70cc and under is ok, but I would exclude shifters (cvt type only) then instead of 110 and under call it open mini per cra type rules which would include shifters and up to 125 4 stroke.I think the rules will mimic AMA, but in terms of classes, thats alot of classes.

You havent been to BC? Come on down this weekend. We can turn a moto or five.
I was talking about what you are doing with district-x and no I have not yet been to Briarcliff.
