In Fl, we have a large consistent turn out in our Stock Appearing classes and I thought that if this type of class could be introduced at a national level that more families could get involved in the sport.
I spoke with Rich Hetrick this am and we both feel that this could really be a solid class to add to the event.
This post is meant to help gauge the interest of potential families and not to create and uproar or any fights among groups with various opinions.
Some of the basics behind the class:
OEM Cylinder
OEM Pipe
OEM A-Arm and Swingarm
OEM Carb Size
OEM Ignition
Stock Appearing from the outside
Mods Allowed:
Porting
Reed Cage Upgrade
Chain Tensioners
Air Filter
CVT Parts
Body Parts-Nerfs, Wheels Foot Brake Etc
Aftermarket Shocks--Stock Mounting points??? Who knows...I guess that would be up to the participants feedback, but either way would be fine if the riders showed up and were safe, while keeping the class affordable.
Rich and I will pursue this class with the AMA and promoters if the feedback is positive and enough interest is shown.
If you can pass this thread on to parents that would potentially be interested that would be great...
Also please share any positive things that your tracks do to help maintain a consistent turn out.
No matter what the opinions are...this is an attempt to create more interest in the sport and to make an affordable class that is more competitive for the average rider and family. A class to get a taste of racign without the huge investment and the need "to know the secrets" to go fast.
Hope this threads finds everyone well and that it enables a lot of good feedback
Thank you for your time
