IMO, the cancer is the PG. That's promotors group OR politics group as it really is.
They are the ones that listen to only certain ppl to make the rules and classes. Thus unappropriat rule/class changes.
One guy shouldn't have a say in rules/classes cuz he may make money, but it's alright for another company to to do the same.
I hope that helps you understand that aspect of it Mr.Stevo.
"CVT's don't have a place in motocross". Huh? The lil KTM's/cobra/etc don't have a clutch yet are raced and a great starting point. Maybe not a exact CVT, but same thing IMO.
CVT's have a place because Joe the plumbers employee that lives in the trailer court could never start out on a shifter for cost reasons. They have no dealer options for a mod shifter, no idea they are even made. So they buy a CVT and starts the learning process with his/her child. Alot of kids work right beside their parents forming yet another family bond. The same happens with the ever popular wrench demanding mod quads.
I see no difference between CVT's and mods as far as maint. If you want your kid to race, you maintain, CVT or mod.

This shifting nonsence:: ok, 1996, my daughter is at Lorretta's waiting to beat up on the boys (in both motos) in the 90 limited class and she seen a 90 mod for sale. Seeins I refused to pay that kind of money to buy a mod, She went down to the guy with $100 and rented it for the weekend. She (never being on a shifter) jumped on and got 3rd place. No biggie shifting. Now if my frail lil girl can do it with no issues, surely others can too.

I'd like to thank the thequadfather+2 for his common sence reply's. Best of the bunch IMO.

I think the vast majority has spoken and CVT's will be around for a long time making kids smile.
