New Classes and New Rules Announced For The
2007 AMA ITP/Moose ATV National Motocross Championships
Presented by Parts Unlimited
Pickerington, OH (2/12/2007) –
The ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG), in cooperation with
AMA Racing and the ATVA, announces new classes and new
rules for the 2007 AMA ITP/Moose ATV National Motocross
Championships Presented by Parts Unlimited.
The most exciting news is the evolution of the AMA
Pro ATV Championship. Since its inception, the ATVA
nationals have showcased its fastest and best riders
in the “Pro Class”. Now, these riders will
be recognized as professional racers by AMA Pro Racing,
and will carry the newly-created AMA Pro ATV license.
To supplement the Pro riders, this year’s series
includes 31 amateur classes. Last year’s Pro Am
Unlimited and Pro Am Production classes have been combined
into one Pro Am class. A new Pro Am Women’s class
will showcase our premier women racers. Pro Am Women
riders may be classified as “A” riders at
non-national events. Amateur women racers can compete
in the Women’s class for amateurs. The restructuring
of the Women’s class will better address the varying
levels of competition in those ranks, and enable newer
racers to compete with riders of their skill level.
A new Vet 30 Plus B/C class will accommodate the growing
number of veteran racers. In the mini-quad ranks, changes
have been made to keep the classes consistent with the
changing machines available to the youngest ATV racers.
In the Youth classes, engine displacement reductions
will not be permitted to meet class limits.
The new rules also clarify the definition of ‘Limited’
in the Production Limited and 50cc Stock Limited classes,
as well as specifying approved machines and modifications
in the youth classes.
Finally, a sound level limit of 99db will be enforced
in 2007 for all classes, in order to bring the series
in line with the rest of AMA Racing.
These changes are set forth in the ATVA Supplemental
Rules, which supplement the AMA Sports Amateur Competition
Rulebook. Visit www.atvaonline.com for the complete,
updated supplemental rules.
