2010 AMA ATV
Motocross Championship Supplemental Rules and
Classes Announced
Morgantown, W.Va. (December 15, 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.
