2010 AMA ATV Motocross Championship
Supplemental Rules and Classes Announced
Morgantown, WV (12/16/2009)
-The ATVPG and the ATVA, administrators of the
ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship
Series Presented by Parts Unlimited, have announced
the Supplemental Rules and Classes for the 2010
Season. With several modifications to both the
class structure and rules, these changes were
made to address concerns presented by riders and
industry leaders. Notable changes were made to
the Women's and Veteran 30+ classes as well as
the Schoolboy Sr., while the Supplemental Rules
address protest fees and stricter pit vehicle
requirements.
"We had several requests to re-evaluate
the Women's class structure," said Sam Gammon
director of the ATVPG. "The Pro-Am Women's
class was suffering with many riders feeling they
were not ready to be considered an A level rider
when competing against their male peers, therefore
the class was altered."
In an effort to inspire growth for a premier
Women's class, the Pro-Am Women's class has been
merged with the Women's class, and a Women's C
class has been created. The Women's class becomes
the premier class for women and will feature several
of the same benefits as the former Pro-Am Women's
class, including both motos on Saturday, five
laps per moto and a season ending bonus.
The Veteran 30+ classes also presented the same
challenges as the Women's; therefore a Veteran
30+ and Veteran 30+ C class were created. The
Schoolboy Sr. class age will be lowered from 15
to 14 to accommodate those riders making the transition
to larger machines. The addition of a 50 CVT (6-8)
class, requested by many during the proposal period,
will allow for riders to remain competitive on
an entry level 50cc longer.
Regarding the Supplemental Rules, the protest
fees demonstrate substantial changes in an effort
to develop a fee structure that better represents
the actual cost of tearing down a machine.
At all national events, pit vehicles and their
operator(s) must be registered for a fee. All
operators must be 18-years old and present a photo
ID when registering their vehicle. In addition,
all registered operators will be required to wear
a special non-transferable wristband, indicating
their ability to operate a registered pit vehicle.
