AMA Competition Rules - Flags

[John250]

The AMA amateur yellow flag rules for national events is the stupidest rule ever. So you got little Johnny and Bobby and their Daddy's telling them, you see yellow don't you dare back off. And if possible use the yellow to your advantage. Keep racing boys!

How in the world does anyone think this is safe when you have a rider down and possibly a flagger or someone on the track assisting them?

Stupid rule in my opinion.

What makes no sense is say someone is to go protest and say they were jumping and passing but looked unsafe. You can’t dock that person because they could be comfortable. Just way to much grey area

Yea exactly. The level of “open to interpretation” that’s afforded to the official is ridiculous.

What’s so hard about “not gaining a position” ?

As soon as you see the FLASHING lights tho it’s wheels on ground ? No passing ?
