quad classes

[djdfairchild]

i just got the d14 info today, thanks to millers, van dykes and whom ever else was invovled.
i have a question about the 90 production class, it says no hand clutches, does this mean no raptor 125 in this class, will it have to go to modified class?

[srxmiller]

Last year we ran pitster's with clutchs in the the supermini class.Which is ok till a real supermini shows up.Spec wise the raptor fits in the 90 mod,but it will be under powered for that class.I wish I knew how meny raptors and pitsters were going to turn out, that would be helpfull.

i really thought that the raptor was going to be a good 90 production quad i was going to buy one so i could stay in the production class, your right if a bike motor shifter quad would seem to be superior to the pitster and raptor
is this a d14 rule or a atva rule

[srxmiller]

90 prod. is where id like the 125's race as well. Ill get with Luke and see what we can work out.

Im pretty sure the whole manual clutch deal spoils that one.

I dont see anything stating it has to be auto though..... the TRX90's race it but theyre auto clutch. Interesting.

[srxmiller]

I think we can be a little more flexible than atva. I dont think a manual clutch should keep them from running in a production class. At least the pitsters and the raptors come with dual arms.

[quadscrib]

I think we should do whatever to get entries personally.

[srxmiller]

We will find a place for all the kids to race, not to worry we have Luke. He truly cares about the growth of youth atv racing in this state.

i agree, i dont own either so it doesn't matter to me, but i feel if people can go to yamaha or pitster and buy a quad that can be competetive in the production class it will help turn out. and i don't see any real advantage to the hand clutch over cvt. its just cheaper to maintain.
