December 21, 2011
The
American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) invites racers to download the
official 2012 AMA Amateur Competition Rulebook, available now at AmericanMotorcyclist.com > Racing > Rulebooks.
The 2012 rulebook covers amateur, Pro/Am, standard and youth
competition in motocross, off-road racing, track racing and all-terrain
vehicle racing. It details rider and motorcycle eligibility, equipment
standards, meet rules, points, class advancement and more.
The 2012 AMA Amateur Competition Rulebook goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2012.
Written and updated by the elected member representatives of the AMA
Congress, which meets annually, the 203-page rulebook is provided for
the exclusive use of AMA members and AMA-chartered clubs and promoters.
"The AMA's history is rooted in nearly nine decades of amateur
motorcycle competition, and the collective wisdom of that experience is
reflected only in the AMA Amateur Competition Rulebook," said AMA
Director of Racing Joe Bromley. "The rulebook is available for the
exclusive use at AMA-sanctioned events by AMA-chartered clubs and
promoters. When you compete at these events, you can rest assured that
the governing rules provide the gold standard of fair and orderly
competition that is the hallmark of an AMA-sanctioned meet."
The AMA Racing Amateur Competition Rulebook is complemented by a host of
supplemental rules that cover National Championship Series and Grand
Championship Events. Supplemental rules packages for 2011 will be
published as they become available at AmericanMotorcyclist.com.
